Karen, I love this post so much. I'm not sure if I mentioned it back in my blogging days, but I was born and raised in L.A. County, in fact born at the same hospital as K! I moved to southern Oregon to go to college and stayed because I got pregnant with N during my last year of college and figured southern Oregon was a better place for the boys to grow up. Now I've been here 33 years! I do love some parts of life in southern Oregon, but like you, my heart is still in SoCal (along with my brother, sister, and other relatives). I'm so glad you got to spend time there and reconnect with it (and your family members). Love and hugs to you, my friend!

Wow! Same hospital!

I’ve never been to Oregon. It’s on my list! I’ll see you when I get there. ♥️

Cali is my second home and this letter (+ video) warmed my heart. I’ll be back there in the Spring and for this I am most grateful. There’s something about my feet hitting that part of the earth...well, you know...
