Preparing & sorting the grapes before crushing

Ghoulish display in Saint Helena, Napa

5.6 Earthquake strikes!

On Tuesday night (30/10) while preparing dinner around 8pm, the house started shaking and rumbling! I knew from experience it was an earthquake. At first you think, what the hell is that,  because it sounds like a train is passing right by your house, but then you remember you don't live next to the train tracks!  I did the wrong thing by rushing out of the house. I should have crouched under the dining room table! Going to check the emergency supplies in the garage this weekend.

Last weekend, we went on a 2 night break up to Napa. We received an accommodation certificate for attending a timeshare presentation in February and I hassled them to honour it. But we had to sit through another presentation in order to get the dates we wanted. We managed to hold out and refuse their offers.
