New Gluten-free item alert! After spending a week with my sis Lisa who is gluten-free, I have realized we need more options. Her favorite from our trip was a raspberry almond bar. We had 12 pieces for grabs but we had to test taste some. Come grab one and tell us what you think. Excited to see if this one is a keeper. Coffee in one hand, strudel in the other.

Dan the man absolutely loved fly fishing at Yellowstone! The Madison was so impressive how peaceful and relaxing it was. We had lots of bison across the road to watch as the men were fishing. Grateful for some time to relax and unwind. Coffee in one hand, strudel in the other. See you tomorrow friends❤️
