Reminiscing...

Someday, when we both reminisce we'll both say, 'There wasn't too much we missed,' and through the tears we'll smile when we recall we had it all for just a moment......

How many of you ever so often get a flashback of something that brings back fond memories and makes you wonder about the what if......



La Jolla CA

 Today I have been reminiscing about the life I once had in California .... I lived there for a little over three years and had a wonderful time.  I vividly remember arriving in California and our first stop was La Jolla, San Diego.  What a wonderful sight.  I thought this was where I wanted to live forever....I love where we live now (Florida, Chicago and The Bahamas) but, every so often I wonder and wonder about that life in California.....



Rodeo Drive CA

 I remember the first time going to Rodeo Dr, Farmers Market in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills.  Everything was more than I expected.  I went into a store in Beverly Hills.  The salesperson took one look at me and assumed I could not afford to buy anything in the store.  She ignored me...and much to her shock and surprise I did buy something but not from her...still makes me smile thinking of it...




Mala and Rima visiting CA

 

One of my favorite memories was the time I was standing at Sunset Blvd. in LA.  All of a sudden a stretch limo pulls up next to me and the back window goes down.  There was this man nicely dressed asking me how much I charged.   Had no clue what he was referring to so I said, "charge...charge  for what"?  Later I found out what was going on...still smiling about this also...



I was young and impressionable. Going by the Hollywood sign what a treat. Driving along the Pacific coast highway so much fun..  having my sisters visit what a wonderful time it was......

I have a great life today...no questions about that but every so often an image creeps into my brain and I am taken over by a flood of memories... Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose....



Las Vegas

 I consider myself very fortunate to have lived in so many wonderful places and to be able to continue enjoying life to the fullest with the man I love.... 

A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen....

until next time...
