I liked your pictures of some of the houses and your info on the housing situation there in California. I have only visited California once long ago--Huntington Beach and San Francisco. I loved it. Don't leave it if you can help it.Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189300487828240620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-53849008477007744972011-04-05T17:53:31.473-07:002011-04-05T17:53:31.473-07:00Carmen, I'm just glad that you get to enjoy fa...Carmen, I'm just glad that you get to enjoy family time with your son, and follow your doctor's order.<br /><br />You took great pictures to show us though after a well-deserved break..•°°• IcyBC •°°•https://www.blogger.com/profile/07081029443524398660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-86356525993733398192011-04-05T17:23:31.050-07:002011-04-05T17:23:31.050-07:00Why do bloggers feel compelled for taking time to ...Why do bloggers feel compelled for taking time to do other things?

They are my connection to the world these days since I've had to retire and, consequently, can no longer travel!<br /><br /><br />Mountain Woman -<br />San Francisco prices and property taxes are still so outrageous but, if one is willing to relocate out of this area, it's much more reasonable. Of course, I hate the thought of leaving the Bay area. I love all there is to do and the being near the ocean is so important to me...but, financially, it is just so difficult, I am having to give strong consideration to moving elsewhere.<br /><br /><br />Sharkbytes (TM) -<br />Temperature variations are so great around here...you can cross the bridges and it will be ten to twenty degrees higher or lower than in the San Francisco areas.<br /><br />It was nice seeing Alex and Laura, though. I really should go up more often.<br /><br /><br />GVK -<br />That long journey from India to California is so exhausting...24 hours, isn't it? I've only done it once but, going over, I stopped off overnight in Bangkok, which was nice and, on the return I cruised from Bangkok to Singapore so, again, I didn't have to make the trip all at once. Goodness, if you come to San Ramon again, perhaps I can drive over and say hello.<br />I am trying to use my remaining frequent flyer miles for a three month visit to India!<br /><br /><br />Joanna Jenkins -<br />It was fun visiting with the only other girl in the family! It's hard to believe their first wedding anniversary is just a month away. Alex did a great job in his choice of Laura for a wife!<br /><br /><br />Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti -<br />Shawn, my oldest, is 40 and says he'll never marry and he doesn't want children - he raised his two brothers - and I doubt I could have managed so well if he hadn't been around. He does have a lovely girlfriend, though.<br /><br />Jeremy is 27 now and just moved into a posh downtown San Francisco apartment with a friend<br />( male ) who he has known since 3rd grade. They seem to be entertaining a bevy of young ladies but Jeremy says he isn't even thinking about marriage unil he's at least 30!RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-66820887723558576262011-04-04T20:49:05.049-07:002011-04-04T20:49:05.049-07:00Hi Carmen, So glad you got to spend time with Ale...Hi Carmen, So glad you got to spend time with Alex and Laura! It sounds like a terrific getaway. I'm happy for you.<br />Don't worry about blogging-- Just follow doctor's orders.<br />Cheers, jjJoanna Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836376588710862173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-7716689579946135212011-04-04T19:44:36.894-07:002011-04-04T19:44:36.894-07:00Hi Carmen

I'm sure your other two sons will find their special matches one day -- as I remember they are also very handsome.<br />I know 100 miles in California is hardly that far and I hope you do get a chance to visit your son and DIl at their lovely home again soon!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-69116338132494357222011-04-04T19:00:40.650-07:002011-04-04T19:00:40.650-07:00I endorse your resolution, of visiting your son/da...I endorse your resolution, of visiting your son/daughter-in-law every other month. I am older (72) and bit farther (India) from my folk in San Ramon CA. And my wife and I try to make it there once in 12 to 18 months.GVKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350402171842472556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-4935570049096936062011-04-04T16:19:58.369-07:002011-04-04T16:19:58.369-07:00Wonderful family pix and times.

Blogs will wait though until you are better and being up and around is much better than sitting at a computer desk.<br /><br />What fun you had and what great photos. Wow, I guess the price of houses is more reasonable. What about the property taxes? Are they still terrible?<br /><br />Anyway, enjoyed sharing your visit with you and your photos are just the best.The Silver Age Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135538968544231161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-32687362343969444762011-04-04T01:40:50.372-07:002011-04-04T01:40:50.372-07:00Dear Carmen,

I just hope that it is not for health reasons that you cannot do what you'd like to. Best wishes for that!<br />Most of the days, I manage to spare the time to put a post up (with midterm exams, etc., I repost a lot), but visiting my blog friends and taking the time to comment is on most days beyond reach. <br /><br />So good to read that you are feeling happy about your son's little family.<br />All the best to you,<br />M.Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.com
