I am substantially moved to La Costa Glen. I have only a few pieces to bring from Manhattan Beach and they will fit in Trevor's car.
My villa looks fairly tidy, but there is lots still to do. I have four visitors coming this morning at different times. Some neighbors, the Marketing Department coordinator, and a HR lady who rides around the campus on a three wheeled bike and will show me round the Glenbrook Assisted Care facility.
I have remembered to push the "I am still alive" button every morning, otherwise they will come looking for me. The laundry bag with sheets to be washed is outside my door. The cleaning crew come tomorrow. The trash goes out Mondays and Thursdays. Everyone says 'good morning' when you pass. I have walked to two shopping centers. I have the car in the garage. There is a coffee meeting every morning in the coffee bar, where people gather to say hello and share news. Everyone welcome. There is a new residents mixer where I will meet other newbies on Nov 9. I am invited to an Apple class by a resident who runs the computer classes on Friday. I have TV, internet and a landline phone required by law for safety in an emergency. My number is:
(760)704-6441
My address is :
2035 Lemonberry Lane
La Costa Glen
Carlsbad, CA 92009
Come and visit me. Love to all, Val
Glad that the pieces are coming together! How nice to have brownies to keep the house for you... please post a picture of the lemon tree once it arrives. My lemons are bright green right now, last bumper crop departed about a month ago. Limes are aging but still good. One beautiful red persimmon. Only one, the trees around it blocked out too much sun. Persimmons? Stupid but cute squirrels took every last one of hundreds. Initially, they'd just take one bite, but as they began to yellow, they cleaned out the interior. Ah well. Our area hit 90 degrees yesterday. Quite a change from the 60s and very low 70s that we have been having.
ReplyDeleteThe fires are out in our area and people are returning home. Some have ashes and debris, most homes are fine, others, like a close friend's son, have their home but all the out buildings were destroyed, including vehicles and tools. Garage, workshop, and shed. The son and his wife were out of state when the fire burned. Support continues for those who lost everything. Ranchers are awesome at figuring out the needs and showing up. Livestock, pets, restaurants, community groups... all played and continue to be pillars of support.
Hurray for you and your new home Val! And good for you for getting back to the blog... you inspire me!
ReplyDeleteLife is full and busy - Mum healing and getting stronger every day. We're still very present...
Our leaves are turning and it's cold and dark in the mornings... snow is not too far away - however for now, we're enjoying beautiful autumn weather.
Warm hugs and lots of love from Canada and we couldn't be happier for you in your new home!
