Hope all are doing better, or at least hanging in there.
Just got in (shortly after 7:30pm my time) and had a WONDERFUL time in the Wine Country. Did some champagne tasting and husband spilled sparkling red wine all over my jeans when he knocked his glass over, but at least it's fall so I wasn't wearing white! Both of wish we'd made it a 3 day trip because we had so much more we wanted to do; if we don't do it earlier, we'll make a longer trip for our 24th wedding anniversary in April. Unfortunately the gallery we wanted to visit to see a special photo exhibition (photos taken by the rock singer Graham Nash over the last 40 years) was closed due to emergency repairs (may have been related to the earthquake that hit Napa a couple months ago), so we may make an early day trip sometime in the next couple of months. Also got to touch base with a good friend from SF Giants fandom who owns a wine shop up there; we picked up a couple new champagne flutes and some drink coasters. Had some rain showers but they were all overnight when we were asleep. Most important, I think we rediscovered ourselves as a married couple; if we can get to a decent routine we should be able to do more activities together to maintain our own relationship while he keeps up with his responsibilities to his mom and brother.
Now about to have a light dinner (stopped for sandwiches on the way home) and get to bed at a reasonable time so I can start on that routine I've got planned and still have some time for Simming in the morning.
Hello @stilljustme2 :) I am glad that you and your husband had a very nice time in the Wine Country. It sounds like it was a special time of enjoying being together doing nice things. It is great that you were able to catch up with your friend. I hope that you will be able to take a day trip soon to visit the Gallery that was closed.
