Dot Jo We are abt 110 miles from Los Angeles, we got a lot of ash coming over to our valley, such a loss of homes & etc. I'm in Bakersfield, its grown so much the last few years, really a big city now, I live out at the edge of town, so I say I live in the country, its much quieter out here. We lived in town in an apt for 5 yrs, I never want to live in an apt again, if I can help it I love my mobile home, its 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. One of the smaller bedrooms in the front, is my room, my computer, and bookcases, che st of drawers, file cabinet, is here, its packed. the other small one in front was my husbands, he was a model car collector, so its still got his shelves & all his collections in there. I just left it like it was when he passed, I don't need it for anything. Well you take care of yourself.

Glad it wasn't near you Mildred. I don't like city living, I would have to be on the outskirts of any town near me. too country for the city.
