Friday the #tourdefrance2021 passes through Bordeaux - right past @paradiserescued an organic vineyard run by my friend David Stannard!
How did you celebrate America’s birthday? Gabe and I enjoyed poblano peppers stuffed with a mix of black beans, ground turkey, and cheese paired with the 2018 Reserve Plummer Vineyard Cabernet Franc from @dracaenawines in Paso Robles, CA.
Yikes!
Happy Birthday, Mom-mom! You’ve been gone for a while now, but your influence lives on. I love this photo of you, Lynne and me in the backyard of your house on W 11th Street. Surely you picked out our matching dresses, so similar to your own. Whenever I see a package of Milano cookies or a pint of rum raisin ice cream, you come to mind. So much love for all of us! Cheers to you, Evelyn Hahn Walsh. 🥂🎂
#TourdeFrance2021 is off to an exciting start! Two days in Bretagne, land of fabulous seafood, gusty winds, and (sometimes) driving rain brought us the heartwarming story of a third-generation pro cyclist who fought for the yellow Jersey to honor his dad and grandfather. On the flip side we watched in horror as a spectator stepped in front of the peloton to get her handmade sign on camera, causing a massive crash that broke bicycles, a few elbows, and many dreams of victory. All the details are in my latest post (see bio for link). Vive le Tour!
Good morning from Miami. Make it a good day, everyone!
