Got another big surprise today – this one of the good variety!
We were at my parents’ house helping them with some yard work and they brought up the subject of visiting my brother in California. I mentioned that we’d like to go, but never have had the money.
They said they would pay for the trip and that they really wanted us to go. They’re going to buy the plane tickets and give us extra for traveling expenses.
My brother lives near Fresno, but we’re flying into San Francisco, so we’re going to go up to wine country for a couple of days when we first get there. I used to travel to Napa and Sonoma Counties as part of being a wine writer, but I never got to have Ceecee with me.
I would visit wineries and eat in great restaurants, but I always wished she could share that part of my life. Now, by taking this trip, she can!
