SOL Day 2
Today I am writing from California. My sister and I came for what began as a short 5 day visit to see my niece and nephew. However, a few weeks before we were to leave my nephew Jason decided that the almost 2 hour commute to work from downtown LA to Orange County was just too much! So we extended our stay for almost 2 weeks to help him pack up and move to another apartment. Ahh one of the great things about retirement . . . being able to change plans at a moments notice!!! It's going to be very hard for him to leave the downtown area but hopefully he will enjoy his new neighborhood as well. Downtown LA as you can imagine is a plethora of activity! For such a busy city I have to say it's quite clean! The view of the city from his current apartment is really nice, however what I love is this beautiful park nestled in between all the tall buildings! Now it's time to get to work and start filling the empty boxes! Stay tuned for the new view . . .
Happy packing (and unpacking). I'm sure Jason appreciates your hard work and that there will be at least one glass of wine at the end of a busy day.
ReplyDeleteMy son lives in Irvine in Orange County. It's a beautiful place too. I hate the traffic in southern California. What a relief it will be for your nephew to get time back in his life. What a good aunt you are to stay and help with the packing and moving.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy the packing up and moving, but I do envy that view of the park. It's quite lovely. Hope the move goes well!
ReplyDeleteOh, the joys of retirement ... and just staying! Jason is so lucky to have you two!! He can visit the city anytime ... living closer to work will be worth so much!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing for you to do, and it's rather exciting to be in on the new place, too. Happy moving!
ReplyDeleteSuch an exciting time in his life! He is lucky to have the two of you to help him get organized and settled in his new place. Enjoy your time with your sister and Jason!
