Back "home" after two nights in a very empty Manhattan Beach house. The time was spent packing and sorting the (almost) last load to La Costa Glen. We also met with the Chase Bank representative to give Trevor access to the Westin account. We also made an appointment to see a new trust lawyer who was recommended by my longtime tax accountant, Pat Weinstein. We will see him December 14.
After a morning of moving stuff downstairs, I had lunch with Hazel Shindo, a very old friend from the Yacht Club, and dinner with Jack and Marilyn and Trevor at the Big Wok.
Trev and I left yesterday and made it to La Costa in an hour and a half. We had a fabulous lunch under the waterfall, with the best baby back ribs you can imagine. Also very good tortilla soup. Then we got to work unloading the car into the living room. Then to Ortho Mattress to purchasea Beautyrest mattress which will be delivered to the door tomorrow. Stopped at Crate and Barrel, but they don't have big furniture. I want to buy another bed and put the foam mattress from Manhattan Beach on it for the guest room. Trevor says the pull out sofa bed is not comfortable, and I must have nothing but the best for my guests! I cannot give it to the Marines, but they said Salvation Army would take it.
I have an appointment with Alison today for a 'fitness evaluation'. Then dinner with two neighbors, and back to watch the unveiling of the new Tesla truck!
When I got back from shopping this morning there was the shovel ordered from Amazon yesterday, right at my door. The system works!
Wendy calls me faithfully every morning from Paris (my morning, her evening) and Andrew Mack is a very faithful caller on his way home from work. Bri does a fantastic job of sending pictures of 'superbaby' and calls a lot too. Thank you so much, it is really appreciated. Of course without Trevor's devotion none of what has been accomplished in the past three months would have been possible. Trevor, you are amazing.
Ian and family arrive on Sunday and will stay in a nearby motel, leaving Tuesday. It will be so good to see them. Andrew Mack may come on Sunday, and Trevor on Monday to see them.
Mack and Trevor and possibly Robin are coming here for the Thanksgiving feast so we will be thinking of you all slaving over a hot oven!!
Love to all, Val
You are exhausting me Sis😎
