We have had a busy few weeks here in southern California:
first a 3-week work project at LaVerne that we described earlier, followed by
another 3-week work project at San Dimas, followed by a 5-day visit from Jen&Brett’s
3 girls that just ended this morning.
During all of that we also met with Jamie and Jeff and their 2 daughters
and got some resolution on Bob’s medical issues.
Between the work periods, we met with Jamie, Jeff and their
2 girls at the LA County Arboretum and Botanical Gardens (with all of their
peacocks). It was so good to see how the
girls are growing up!
The following week, Bob had his prostate inspected by a ‘scope
where the condition was defined as BPH and a surgery is recommended, but it will
wait until we are parked for the spring and summer in Duluth. A 4th catheter was inserted and
will stay in place for the next month.
The San Dimas project went well. We worked on the parsonage’s garage and lawn as
well as a number of items at the church itself (including some painting, some
ceiling fans, a small shingled roof overhang, some interior drywall and plaster
repairs). As a group, we had a number of meals together,
including comfort food, sushi, and Italian, plus lots of lunches and snacks
from the congregation. A good time was
had by all. It all came to an end last
Thursday and our leaders left that evening to meet with family. Another couple left Friday morning. Bill and Ogie stayed until Ogie left on
Easter Sunday for an early flight to Korea.
She is visiting her family for 2 months and will meet Bill in Hawaii
before coming back to their motorhome.
On Friday afternoon we met Brett’s 3 girls at LAX where they
were traveling as “unaccompanied minors”.
The pickup process went smoothly, but we found this morning that Delta Airlines’
personnel did not finish their part the correct way which caused a slow process
for their return flight this morning.
While they here we took them to the Venice canals:
plus Venice Beach, the LA County Museum of Art:
Mixed in with those were a tour of the USC
campus, a drive-by near UCLA, plus a walk along the Avenue of Stars in
Hollywood. We all got to see a lot of
Los Angeles.
Now we have a night of quiet TV and packing before returning
to Arizona tomorrow. We have some repair
work scheduled on the motorhome and will see Paige’s sisters before taking a
roundabout way north for the spring.
