The love story continues: I have a serious issue with my feet. I can’t stand them and don’t enjoy it when people look at my feet. To my horror, after Joel pulled John and I from the PGA event to join the crew, I started a conversation with one of the tour executives and while we were talking the executive looked down and said, “Wow, you must have some really cute feet, because you are so tall.” Immediately the entire crew, John, Jan and Joel all stopped talking to look at my feet. “OMG!” It was like standing naked in a spotlight in front of strangers. I wanted to find a way to hide them immediately, but no such luck. The entire conversation switched to my feet and how cute my shoes were. Jan was amused by the whole thing. We were the only women in the group and the whole situation became rather flirtatious.

Thankfully, John changed the subject and soon after, the executive pulled me aside and asked me if I had a room at the Inn. I could not believe how bold he was. He later offered me a key to his room, which I declined. I guess when you have a little money, some power, a few drinks and affection for a tall woman’s feet, you feel entitled -Very awkward to say the least.

We all had a few laughs about the executive when he left, but John and Jan loved teasing me about the whole ordeal as we packed up to head over to Healdsburg. I was looking forward to just getting into town, checking into our rooms and calling it a night.

We were scheduled to shoot romantically, beautiful Healdsburg and all of its unique B&B’s starting early the following morning. The crew, Joel and I were all staying at different B&B’s in order to rate them and decide which ones would be worthy to be included into the show. Talk about a fun job. On the first night there Joel and I stayed at the Haydon where we again had to share the same bed. Imagine being in a romantic town, in a charming B&B with a four claw vintage tub, and a plush king size bed with a man that you can’t take advantage of. I found a new appreciation for friendship. I took comfort in knowing that at least Joel would not be interested in my feet.

At 5:30 am I received a wake up call from John asking Joel and I to meet him and the rest of the crew at the local coffee shop. We got up, got dressed and dragged ourselves to the Flying Goat café. You can smell the aroma of the baked goods and the fresh brewed coffee from a block away. I ordered a vanilla latte with a chocolate filled croissant and joined John at the table. John waited until everyone had their coffee and breakfast before he got up to get something for himself. I noticed that about John, he never really did anything for himself until everyone else had what they needed. He even brought over utensils, sugar and napkins for everyone. I liked that out of all the men in the group he actually took the time to notice what was missing at the table and provided. Everyone else was too busy trying to wake up or did not care about what anyone else needed. John was wide awake, alert and ready to get the day started with enough eagerness to motivate.

After breakfast we headed over to the Chardonnay Golf Club so that we could film the host of the show playing golf on a championship golf course. The stunning golf course consists of 27 holes surrounded by Lakes, Meadows, and Vineyard Courses. We were given golf carts to drive us from hole to hole, and John and I sat together in one all day. He drove us through all the high hilltops, windy meadows, and amazing vineyards as the crew filmed the host and another golfer play the course. At some points the course got kinda’ steep and I was so glad John was at the wheel.

We were at the course for hours and started to wrap up when we noticed that the sun was getting ready to set. One of the producers got the idea that he wanted a shot of the sunset from a mountain top. John was responsible for driving the Porsche Cayenne SUV which was on loan for the show and asked me to join him, so I did. We found a canyon and begun the uphill, curvy drive to the highest point. During the ride John and I talked about me and my family and about why I was in LA. I later learned from John it was during this car ride that he knew that I was the one he had been waiting for.
