Wet Your Whistle Wednesday 

50th Parallel Estates, this is the Pinot Noir from 2018.  

An excellent wine, 50th  Parallel Estates which is in North Okanagan, about 15 minutes from the Kelowna airport and just about 15 minutes south of Vernon, and it's located right on the east side of the Okanagan Lake.  The owners, Sherry Lee and Curtis, are always seen around Kelowna restaurants enjoying the city.   This winery was actually started in 2009 when they planted their first 10 acres of vines. After that, in 2011, was when they bottled their first vintage.   This is an amazing estate and winery to go and check out, please put this on your list. If you are going out and doing wine tours in and around that area, there are also Gray Monk Estates, Arrow Leaf Cellars, and Intrigued Wines.  

 

Parenting 

As your children grow older and they evolve into themselves, changes are going to happen, with these changes they are going to grow into adults, but also their tastes are going to change who they are is actually going to start to mold into the person that they're becoming. When this happens, their hobbies are going to change and their passions are going to change, and the things that make them excited and happy, are going to start to develop.  You need to be willing to accept these changes that come. You don't want to squash their imagination right away because they could be developing something that could take them further on in life, their happy place as they are an adult. 

 

Mental Health 

Finishing our four-part series on body, mind, soul, and community. I really liked this concept I'm really sad that we're stuck in this COVID era where I'm not able to get out more into the community and where I'm now residing. But I want you to think about little things that you can do in your community, your local community somewhere that's right around you, or could be your community of friends online or it could be your community in the greater city that you live in because it's part of the hobbies and passions that you both share together, whether it's in the art world, or anywhere else. Little things that you can do for your community, pick yourself a garbage bag and go take a walk into a park somewhere and start picking up a little bit of the garbage that's been leftover from winter, and you can do this, literally anywhere in the world.  

 

Dapper 

My question to you; how was COVID to you?  Did you gain the 19 pounds that COVID promised to bring?  COVID-19... get it. I did, I had to go and try on a shirt, and that shirt looked way too skin-tight. So, the upsetting thing is I had to move up the size of the shirt and it wasn't because I've got guns in a big chest from working out. Oh no no no, it's because I gained a nice little belly during this last year. I also had to buy new jeans and move up a size there too. Here's the reason why I'm talking about this because your wardrobe is a very important part of living the Dapper lifestyle.  Maybe it's time to replenish that wardrobe, as one of the pillars of being dapper is style. 

 

Dad Tip of the Day 

“If you focus on what you have, you gain what you lack. If you focus on what you lack, then you lose what you have.”
