Downtown LA Part Two

We arrived Downtown around 9:15 a.m. and the day was nice and overcast. Perfect! My roommate and I decided to find a cafe and relax with some coffee and a scone.

By the time we finished and stepped out side, it was considerably bright
and great for taking photos.



I HIGHLY recommend taking the tours given by the Los Angeles Conservency Group. They are amazing and CHEAP!

I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can

A road trip. A good old fashioned road trip. I had been planning to take one right after retiring from work. Those plans are on hold now. I'm actually thinking about retiring early. I can't stand going to work while everyone around me is so careless. In March I had surgery on my foot, the day after our Governor declared a shut down of California. Luckily my surgery wasn't cancelled but I wondered about returning to work. I naively hoped that the virus would calm down before I had to return. I returned to work on May 5th. Today is November 11th. Since then, I've had to take FOUR Covid tests because of exposure by co-workers. This both worries and angers me. I hate the position I am in.

Yes I am grateful I haven't gotten it. Trust me, I know how lucky I am. I have family members that almost died bec
