THINGS THAT STILL REMAIN

 No this is not me surfing but maybe one day you never know. I was just thinking about all the things that there are to do in Southern California. Surfing is just one of the many ways one can enjoy

themselves here. There are also the mountain ranges that surround our In Land Empire as it is called in my neck of woods. Big bear, Arrow Head,there's even a Mt Baldy nearby. I guess they ran out of names when it came to the latter one. Anyhow, there is much to do here. Yes we are having a real "real estate" crisis and yes it will continue this way for a year or two but don't feel too sorry for us. We live in area of the country where in the same day we can surf in the Pacific Ocean in the morning and then walk under gigantic pine trees 6,000 feet + above sea level in evening. All this can be done on one tank of gas. I know we did it again this weekend. My daughters spent the summer working at a camp in Iddlywild another mountain range that I failed to mention. All the girls were back except one was still working at the camp. After surfing all day we went "up the hill "as we call it to bring her home. When we were waiting for the endless goodbyes to end I thought about how great it was to smell the pine trees and see all of stars at night. Yes we in the real estate field are struggling in some way or to some degree but I have learned through these last couple years that there is always something to be grateful for. For one I realized how blessed Iam to be living here. Some times its easy to take what we have for gran it and not appreciate the good things that remain. In these tight times I think I'm going to focus on the good that still remains.

         

          No, this is not Mt. Baldy it is yours truly surfing.
