Carolina’s Notes
I got up and I was relieved that the pain was gone. I am most grateful. The weather was cloudy and cold. Tony & I still wanted to walk the coastline trail. Tony wanted to do some laundry so we grabbed our clothes so they could swish around while we were walking. We executed our plan and threw on clothes and brushed our teeth and hair. The walk was nice despite the fog; the signs are there that the fog might burn off. Another day of sunshine would be great! We headed back to finish our clothes and to get ready to meet my brother, Ed.
The fogged burned off and Tony & I made it to Ed’s house. We visited with his family and some of their friends. I had a blast! I was able to meet some of my niece’s friends Sara and Alyssa and Alyssa’s Dad Don. Don was gracious to show us his wine cellar. This was a tremendous treat. It was fascinating seeing what he’s done to convert part of his garage into a wine cellar. Tony was making his own wine for years but it was on a much smaller scale. I was in awe of his creation.
I enjoyed the time I spent with my family and their friends.
We stayed the night at my brother’s house and they rolled out the red carpet. Thank you!
Tony’s Notes
We had a real nice walk on the beach path, and got two loads of laundry done at the same time. That was pretty cool. It amazes me that going to the Laundromat saves time and money compared to doing them back home one load at a time.
We packed up an ‘overnight’ bag, and headed out to Ed & Lisa’s in Danville. It took an hour to get through the Art & Pumpkin Festival traffic. However, while crossing the San Mateo Bridge, there was still a lot of traffic heading toward HMB. I was surprised people would sit in hours of traffic to make their way to pumpkin patches, and so forth.
We had a great day, I drank beer all day and wine all night; definitely NOT the norm for me. Ed made a fantastic Mongolian Beef dish with brown rice.
Their neighbor, Don and his wife, Karen, came over and visited. I hung out with Karen and Lisa in the evening, next to an outdoor fire. Everyone else watched baseball. It is typical for me to hang with the girls.
Later in the evening, Don took us over to do a barrel tasting. Don had built an extensive wine cellar in part of his garage. He had 90 gallon barrels. He had just crushed about six hundred pounds of grapes for this season’s batches. Don had won multiple awards for his wine. I can definitely see him eventually owning a winery; he is an excellent vintner. We also tasted some Grappa, Lemon cello, and some Cherries soaked in Grappa. It was a great time and I finally went to bed at 1am.
