Ten of us had an early dinner at Hale Street Tavern before heading over to PSP Imports in Beverly Farms for a wine tasting. I can’t wait to tell you all about the wine tasting in a post during the next couple of days. For now, I love Hale Street and we had some amazing sushi and salads.

I took a little walk on the Hammond Castle grounds (Hesperus Ave) on a recent grey morning and found peace and beauty. Although the museum is closed for the winter, the grounds can be viewed during regular business hours and it’s worth a stop-by. I look forward to the spring re-opening for their 47th consecutive season! In the meantime…….
