Here’s a recap of our friend Tom Grace’s last visit to Wichita, which involved nails, a tequila and mezcal tasting, dinner, and brunch the next morning.<\/p>\n

The four of us got our nails done together at Nails & Beyond<\/a>, a nail salon in West Wichita where Brian and I had been going every month for nearly 20 years. <\/p>\n

Tom got cuddles with Nugget and all of us (except for Tom, who just did “buff shiny” on his nails) got some shade of blue. <\/p>\n

I did a dark blue on my toenails and then a light blue on on my fingernails purposely to go with the dress I was wearing to the wedding we were attending the following weekend.<\/p>\n

Here’s a pic of my nails with the dress.<\/p>\n

After nails, the four of us went to Total Wine for a tequila and mezcal tasting class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We tried eight different bottles of tequila and mezcal. I list them all below along with how much each retails at Total Wine and how much I liked them.<\/p>\n
