Over the years, friends of mine who know I sell expensive homes to people of wealth and those without, have remarked, "I can’t understand Americans. They never spend time in their homes. They are always working or on the freeway heading to something."

Like it or not, people around the world have been forced to stay home these days, thus giving them no choice but to finally chill out, relax and explore the features of their homes, most of which they pay for but rarely fully use. I, for example, for the first time, have played with my home theatre and surround sound features and started to appreciate my newly learned experience. Also, for the first time, I learned what it means to "putter in your garage." It’s been really fun.

There's so much to do in California’s Gold Country! Just 45 miles east of Sacramento, Amador County beckons with beautiful rustic vistas, historic downtowns, and rolling scenic vineyards. Here’s a sneak peek at the itinerary for my next visit.

Day One: I’ll start with a walking tour of Sutter Creek’s Main Street where 62 historic buildings remind us of the county’s intriguing past. Then I’ll brunch at Hanford House Inn’s Element Restaurant (I’ve been told to try the Miners Hash).
