REFLECTIONS

We moved to California forty-three years ago, separately.   It beckoned each of us with its promise of great weather, sunny skies, casual living and Disneyland.  It lived up to its promise.  Unfortunately, too many people also had the same dream and for us it became too much of everything.  When our daughter went to college we moved to Colorado for the wide open spaces no longer available in California.  Our native California daughter and her native California husband have stayed put and on our visits over the years we have watched California lose its luster.  Driving in yesterday, it reminded me of how different it was from the first time I drove over the San Bernadino pass into the fertile valley below. I was young and fresh the first time and each time I visit I too have lost some of my luster. Life moves on and neither one of us are golden anymore. Just Silver that needs a little polishing now and then.

Have a great weekend everyone.  See you later with more Aimless Ramblings.
