A sunset view over the Pacific a block from our apartment.This past week has gone so fast. Mundane-type activities. Buying supplies, learning the recycling rules, laundry. Stuff like that.
Our apartment is one of 15 places in our complex. A low-rise building (2 stories) which was built around 1960. It appears a few years ago it was bought and refurbished and marketed to "executive" short term residents. Pete and Judy visited and were really impressed. So am I. The building has an inner courtyard with a small fountain. We are a block from the palisades which overlook the Pacific. Gorgeous sunsets.
Our neighbors hail from Norway, New Zealand, British Columbia. There are even some rent controlled guys who have lived in their apartments for 45 years. I was too shy to ask what they are paying each month. $100???!!
I can walk to everything, which is unusual in the LA area, where the auto rules. Yesterday, I walked about 5 miles (you notice my subject is turning from food to exercise!). There are four movie theatres in walking distance. I believe I will reach my goal of seeing on the all Oscar nominees before the Awards ceremonies late this month. Maybe even the documentaries and the shorts.
We have company this weekend and are looking forward to seeing Jen and Dru. My sister and brother-in-law come in another week. Laura claims I have too many plans for one week. Watch for us on the Dr. Phil Show (in the audience!).
LA weather is great, but what is even more satisfying is being in the same city as Claire. Nice not to have to calculate time zones into our communications.
Will add to the blog weekly (that is unless I get discovered by Oprah and get my own TV show). I do plan to resume the daily diary when we start our return trip...but that is way, way, far away!
