Here
we are on I-10 heading home to Arizona after a great trip to visit family and
friends in California.
It
is sad to be leaving, because we want to stay and live in California, but until
our house in Arizona sells, we cannot do so.
We
started our week with our younger son, staying at his apartment the entire
week. We had dinner at my brother's
restaurant the first night. We had a great meal with wonderful company.
The
following evening, we met one of my team members and her husband for
dinner. It was our first in-person
meeting, and we had such fun with them! What
a great couple.
On
Saturday, we had a nice visit with an elderly cousin, the last of her
generation still alive. At 91 years of
age, she is still sharp and living alone.
From her home, we drove to the coast, Pacific Coast Highway, driving
south stopping to enjoy the ocean view, smell and sounds. Living in Arizona, we
don't have much opportunity to see the ocean.
On
Sunday, we met with my husband's daughter and friends for a really nice
visit. The following day, my brother
joined us as we drove to a few cities in Southern California trying to decide
exactly where in Southern California we want to live when our house does sell.
The
next day we drove to another beach town to see our niece and grand niece. We hadn't seen them for a couple years, so we
had lots to catch up on. That evening,
we saw our older son and our 4-year-old granddaughter. She is an adorable little girl who we barely
know, because we live so far away.
Our
last full day was mostly relaxing and visiting with our younger son. That evening, because it was the 4th
of the July, Independence Day in the USA, my brother and darling sister-in-law
joined us, along with our son, and we went to The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, for a
phenomenal fireworks display. We saw
some unique fireworks that none of us had ever seen before. The Rose Bowl show was reported to be the
largest display in Southern California.
We picnicked in a park area surrounding the Rose Bowl in what was a real
party atmosphere, with about 200,000 other people. Our final night in California was special
mostly because we spent it with family.
As
anticipated, driving in California was terrible, and we drove a great deal
during our visit – 1845 miles to be exact.
However, as we also expected, we had a wonderful time seeing
everyone. We are now in the first of
what will be about a 10-hour drive home... although Arizona is feeling less
like home each time we leave our family.
Having
a home business is such a pleasure. I
can work anywhere, and I can take vacations whenever I please. During the week I was in California, two
people joined my team, and I spoke with three other really good prospects that
I’ll be contacting again.
I
am also so fortunate to have a dear friend and co-worker on my team who covered
my training calls and even helped a few of my team members during my absence.
My
team, The Winner’s Circle, is one of the top teams in Xpress Healthcare. If you’re looking for a home business with
