While pondering our move to Oregon I did think long and hard about leaving family and friends. The thought of lowering our cost of living and exploring new areas won out. But I still miss my family and friends.
Once a month I plan a four to five day trip to LA to visit, get my hair done, have a facial, eat in my favorite restaurants and shop at my go-to stores. I really have to cram it in and follow a tight schedule.
A few of us have our “own table” at Julienne’s and others at Panera. We hit all the best places in town. This past visit I found out one of my very dear friends had donated her brain for science. That gave us all a good laugh. We told her she should have waited until AFTER the funeral!
You get a real dump of information in a short period of time. Who lost a husband (don’t bother looking for him), whose dog is on the sick list (you know my thoughts on this), where everyone is going on their next trip (my favorite)….and a few health issues to catch up on as well.
On my next visit I will know who my real friends are when I need to be driven around. I lost my driver’s license on my last trip to LA. Really??????
You don’t have to be crazy to be my friend…..but it helps!
