We finally arrive at paradise which we had purchased last year. The insurance adjuster was there and said it would be better if we cut our losses.  All the other owners and several their employees from wineries agreed. My sister and Penelope thanked everyone for trying to help save it. The other winery owners agreed to pick up our workers but would get a 1.59 less but the others who worked in the office and Penelope they couldn't afford . We decided to pay our respects to Hector and his loved ones and the others we didn't personally know to pay our respects and leave then checks to pay for 6 months of mortgage payments or rent and pay for their funerals.  Hector and Penelope informed us the others didn't want to relocate to the state and would look for work in Italy. We paid the 25 people who chose not to relocate a severance package that was more than fair. 

Katelyn and Dr.Isles we were able to stop the fire  jumping to Everlasting Vineyards . We will though need to repair the road.  It was damaged in areas.  Penelope please get some bids.  We can replace the entire road. 
We left Hectors home with Penelope.
Dr.  Isles and Katelyn,  Javier and I spoke. We want to move to California.
We already purchased a home in Lodi in the country . Here's what we purchased  the front and garages.

He wasn't thrilled me going back and forth between the three properties. I will stay at  Everlasting until you find a replacement.  I am gonna miss paradise.  It's where you all and Olivia started .I know Jane is torn up about paradise.  I know the feeling . She is in a court case she couldn't get a  postponement. She already spoke to the employees. I just cannot believe this is gone.  You two go stay in your home here or at Everlasting. I think Everlasting would be better for us both. I need to go see what can be taken over to Everlasting and have it brought over.  The bed and breakfast will open tomorrow . The  gift shop and the wine tasting rooms are being redone with a new look of the new wines and labels. I cannot believe we were able to add more wine for Italy. I don't know the wine business as you,  my wife or Penelope . You were  busy being a doctor but the B & B was all your idea and the ranch sis. I know.

Home away from HOME MAURA.  I KNOW I MISS BUT THE LOVE OF BEING THERE CONSTANT WASN'T CHALLENGING ANYMORE. I moved to Los Angeles to start a new job than Sacramento.  If I  has given up like I wanted too,I would of came back here. Katelyn do you miss it? A little bit.
What do you think of what Penelope said? I still want to keep her employed she is good at what she does. I am suprised her moving to Lodi California in the country. Her husband's life was here with soccer all these years.  Let's get busy finishing up what we came here for and get back. J doesn't like me here right now. By the way mom finally called me last night.  She is okay Maura. You could hear in the background all the bombing and shooting in Ukraine with people screaming.  I definitely been praying for them Katelyn.  Me too sis.

Penelope returned and we ate dinner with Javier too. He told us he wants to put distance from Italy.He is tired of people recognizing him as a retired futbol player with Italy.  We have interviews set up for the next two days to replace Penelope here.
