The mountains called so I answered. Enjoyed hiking in Paradise at Mt. Rainier. It was a little smoky from a nearby fire, but still so beautiful. 🥾😍🗻

I was watching the Tour de France the other day and they went by CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE and did a little segment on the wine & area vinyards. Our ineffable husbands’ favorite wine 🍷 🤍🖤

iPhone pics of the broadcast from my laptop, so not the best quality, but thought you all would enjoy 😀
