We're in the wine country

First, I received this link from a friend and have to share it - it contains important information for anyone who drinks wine.

We are at the north end of the Alexander Valley wine region and there are more than 50 wineries within 50 miles of our location in Mendocino....we are working our way through them and they are beautiful! It is amazing to see the miles and miles of vines and the beautiful tasting rooms along Rt 128....from now on it is a requirement to take shoes, just in case.

I am attaching a picture of our motor home which, as you can see is parked next to our deck! And we've planted a bit of an herb garden....with so little sun it is amazing how it is thriving,,,, with the exception of the tender mint basil....you can also see our "curtains" in the front window. We put these up (using the "summer" drapes (read sheets) from our bedroom in Tucson)so that we wouldn't have to open and close the "real" drapes in the rig (they are 10 years old and we wanted to reduce the wear and tear (haha) on them).  Pretty fancy!


We continue to explore the parks - hiking the 2 mile trails and working our way up to the 3,4,5,6.....mile trails - there are so many options and so many trails that it is hard to decide where to go.  Right outside the Ford House door there are opportunities to walk the headlands and to get onto the beach!

The biggest news is that we have found the most amazing pizza ever and it is gluten free - just up the road (about 10 miles) in the Ft. Bragg bakery....they only are open from Wed thru Sun and it's a very good thing - you might have guessed that David is absolutely addicted.

Hope all is well with all of you.....With many hugs, S&D
