This is my view for the next few days. Well it's my view if I walk out of my friend Barbara's apartment building and walk about 20 steps. Isn't it gorgeous? I haven't been in Southern California in about five years and back then I was more in the downtown area. Where Barbara lives is the edge of no where (as she calls it). It's actually just west of Long Beach.
I got up early this morning and took a walk and these were my gorgeous views.
I love being near the ocean. I hope that at some point we can move closer to the coast. All those lovely negative ions coming off the ocean really do make you feel calm and peaceful. And everyone's gardens are green and lush. Bougainvillea every where you turn.
Barbara had her chemo treatment yesterday and slept for about 15 hours. She was up for running an errand after breakfast and now is napping. We spent the morning reminiscing about our misspent youth. My job is really to drive her places if she wants – in her stick shift car!! I haven't driven a stick shift since the 80's. She might need a new clutch when I leave. I am also making sure she is getting enough water. The chemo leaves a metallic taste in her mouth and makes water unappealing but it's very important that she flushes out her kidneys so I'm taking my responsibilities seriously and making sure she gets enough.
This straight up looks like I'm in Hawaii.
I hope everyone is having a good week.
Hi Andrea,
RPV really is gorgeous, and Barb’s place is right there in the middle of nowhere but full of such gorgeous views! I’m so glad you are able to hang out with her and are taking such good care of her!
It was really lovely to get to visit her and help in some small way. She is doing great and Im so proud of her and her fabulous attitude.
