Letter writing – sitting in our balcony
Of course, letter writing for me is as much about writing with a fountain pen as much as it is about the pyrotechnics that follow it!!
Which reminds me – I got into sealing with wax after visiting the Dallas Fountain Pen Show last year. This year, in the Atlanta Pen Show, there was not even a single person selling the wax seal stuff!

From the bartender’s corner – Oude Genever
Genever (also Jenever) is the original predecessor of gin. (There was an in between genre called Tom Gin). This alcohol goes back five centuries! The distillation process was crude enough that the monks thought it best to put in juniper and other herbs and was mostly used for medicinal purposes (which it was not). Between Oude and the Jonge versions (Old and Young), I prefer the Oude. This particular one is aged for a year and to me it gives a whole different nose and complexity to the drink.
