It’s the weekend, and we are going on Papa and Nana Duty for the next week.  🙂  Our son and daughter-in-love are going away to celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary.  This time for them is the first since their honeymoon, and we are excited to help them make this happen for their marriage’s sake.  Not to mention we get to play with the most adorable little girls in the world  See for yourself:

So, our plans are to post our regular posts next week, B.U.T. if you wake up one morning and there is no post from The Romantic Vineyard to greet you, you’ll understand we either didn’t sleep well, OR we took the day off to play in their world.

Here are the posts we believe are worthy to be called Specials of the Week.  Enjoy…
