It's Champagne Thursday

 


I have a little indulgent secret that I'm going to share with you.  For the past two years, my friend Glenda and I have been celebrating Thursday by drinking champagne and talking about the week's events.  We call it "Champagne Thursday".  We usually split a bottle of champagne while munching on lite snacks.  Sometimes it will be popcorn other times potato chips and every now and then cheese and crackers.











Last year when I took that iPhone photography class, I got into the habit of taking an iPhone photo of my champagne glass using the portrait mode.  Then I got to thinking that I would create a little photo book with some of the photos I've taken.













We usually meet at Glenda's house. I'm always looking for the perfect place to take the photo and Glenda decorates for the seasons so around the holidays, there is always some new place to get the shot.














One day last spring, we sampled a sparkling wine from South Africa and I thought putting the glass on the desk in front of this photo would set the mood.

So now you know my little Thursday night secret.  I decided I'd gather a year's worth of photos and then put a little book together to celebrate my indulgent habit.  I might put one or two on this blog from time to time.

A Year of Thursdays would be a great little book.

Good idea, Sharon. I have Amaretto Wednesday. A little glass of Amaretto and some treats!

What a great "tradition" to share with your friend! And I love the photo book idea. I'm sure Glenda would love a copy. I thought that was a real lion behind your glass in the last photo! LOL

That's a great idea. I have the same thing with friends on Tuesdays except it's coffee for us.
