What a wonderful trip we have had in Calif. We connected with friends and Marty's family. They had a lovely birthday dinner for Marty and today we said goodbye to both his sons , grandkids , and his son Steven's lovely new girlfriend.
Tomorrow we fly back to Rhode Island. It was so much fun to travel in Calif. We put on over 500 miles on our rented car. We really enjoyed visiting the Getty Museum located at the very top of a mountain. The museum is unique and they have pools of water thoughout the museum. The art is mostly Enlish and French, no modern art. A wonderful day trip for a unique museum experience.
Fancy Nancy really enjoyed California.

Fancy Nancy is in Thousand Oaks , Calif.
We are now at the end of our visit. We are in Thousand Oaks , Calif. and we have connected with Marty's two sons, and family. Marty's younger son has a new girlfriend and it looks like they may become a couple in the future. He is moving in with her soon. Time will tell.
Yesterday we visited the Getty Museum. What a huge amazing museum built on the top of a mountain. The building is most unique and it includes masterpieces of art from the old masters. To get to the museum you have to take a tram up the mountain. We walked the museum for several hours, and then returned to our hotel. At night we connected with Marty's family for dinner.
The dinner looked great, but my stomach was not happy, it had traveler's tummy, so I ate very little. ( A good way to lose some weight). Today we will again connect with Marty's sons and tomorrow we leave for Los Angeles since we have an early flight back on Monday morning. So far we have enjoyed our Hampton Inn hotels. They make life easy.
Fancy Nancy says: Traveling can be most enlightening.

Getting Lost on Highway 111
Today, after a nice breakfast and swim in the pool, we went down to find the shopping area to buy a present for my friend who lives in Palm Desert. First we found El Paseo, the shopping area, then we drove to another shopping center and we found a Lowes which was fine. We got her a gift certificate and tried to find our way back to the hotel.
After several hours of driving we eventually got to the hotel, but most of the time was on Highway 111 back and forth looking for a cross street called Cook St. I must admit, driving in a brand new area is most confusing. Fortunately, Marty was driving.
Tonight we met my friend for dinner and she took us to a lovely restaurant called the Cliff. The restaurant was built next to a mountain. The view was most unique. It was great connecting and she looks wonderful. She has now moved to Palm Dessert permanently. We miss her , but we were happy to see her looking so well.
Fancy Nancy says: It is good to keep connected to friends!

Fancy Nancy in California
Fancy Nancy arrived Sunday in California. We enjoyed a reunion visit with my college friend and her husband. We had a lovely lunch overlooking a body of water. We celebrated Marty's forthcoming birthday and enjoyed a birthday cookie with one candle.
Our flight went well. Southwest is one of the few airlines that does not charge for luggage. We did have to change planes in Chicago, but all went well with both flights. I am amazed at how many foreign born speakers we have met here. Many of the workers are from Mexico. A good chance to practice Spanish.

Andrew Meets My Author's Group
Today I met with my author's group. We are four ladies and all of us were teachers . I invited Andrew to meet with us at a restaurant so that he could start to network for nis new career. Andrew, my grandson, is nice looking and great with people. They enjoyed meeting him, and he seemed relaxed and enjoyed the lunch as well.
It has been fun trying to help him out with his new career. I am sure he will do well, but in the beginning, it is tough to get customers. It takes networking, patience and lots of time. I have enjoyed trying to help him out.
This week is medical apt. week and then we leave for California at the end of the week. Time marches on.
Fancy Nancy says" You will feel good, when you help others!

A Windy Saturday
Today i went to a book signing for Arlene Violet's new book. She was a nun, an attorney general, and she told me she has a radio program as well. Her books were sold out, so they started a list to order more copies.
It was very windy, and by the time I got home I was winded and took a nap. The trees are gorgeous in Rhode Island. All the colors of fall . Soon the elections will be here. I just got my absentee ballot. I do not recognize many of the names on the Florida ballot.
Guess, I will look over the ballot and vote for the women. Might as well give them a chance. Some of the elected men have not done a great job so far.
Fancy Nancy says" Maybe it is time to elect new ladies to run things!!!

Fun Lunch With Andrew
Today I did nore line dancing. The teachers are all students in the class. It is amazing that one of the best dancers is a woman who is 84 years young. She wears high heels as she does the dancing and she teaches dancing at several facilites. Her name is Norma, and what an amazing lady. She even drives in from Conn. to lead the class. She definitely has the right genes! She just told me she has a sister who is 90 and she plans on being around until she is 150. Wow , what a lady.
After dancing I enjoying a wonderful lunch with grandson Andrew who is entering the insurance field. We talked about the products he will be selling, and I enjoyed giving him a gift to encourage his future success. I know he will do well since he is a good listener, and has empathy for people. Good luck to Andrew and his new career.
We are getting ready to leave for a trip to Calif. to visit friends and family. I love to travel, so I look forward to this visit. I have just recovered from an allergic reaction to an over the counter med, Advil. It really got me sick. I feel much better now that I am off the medicine.
Fancy Nancy says: Be careful what you take in medication. Even though it does not require a prescription, meds can get your very sick. Happy to feel better now that I am off that pill.
