Wayne and I, along with friends Ed and Diane, headed off on a five day wine tour in Yakima and Walla Walla last week.  Washington State is the largest wine producing state behind California. Boy did we have fun and boy was it hot.  The temperature rose to 113 in Walla Walla on Sunday.  That’s Africa hot!  We arrived home exhausted, exhilarated and with a ton of incredible wine.

As you enter this 4th of July holiday, I hope you will find time to enjoy your favorite pastimes as well as your family.
