We arrived in Calistoga on Thursday in the rain and got set up in our new home and packed our bags to head to San Jose for the weekend.  Driving up Hwy 29 thru St. Helena and into Calistoga you can see the vines loaded with grapes.  They are picking now and will continue to in the next few days.

San Jose will always be home and it felt so good to get there and see as many as we can in two days.  Dinner with friends, a lazy afternoon with others, sleepover with Stephanie, breakfast with Amy, Stephanie & Nick, Stephanie cooked, dinner with more friends and Karokee too!  We even spent a couple hours helping my old company move and then back home to Calistoga.  When we drove thru St. Helena this time you could smell the grapes, love the smell of crushed grapes – WINE!!!

Monday we woke to more rain!  It was warm and sunny on the weekend and now rain!  I hope this is not the norm because I am hoping to get in a lot of golf at the course right outside my front window.  We did our training today for the RV job.  This is going to be a fun job, especially since Paul is going to do most of the hours and I am going to golf.

Today I am off to visit my parents in Hanford.  I hope when I get back next week I can hang out in Calistoga for a few days and enjoy this new home!

PS.  The RV was repaired and has started every tim
