We are spending the week in Belmont, California, with Debra and Kent. Bernice wanted nothing else for Christmas except a visit here to see how these New York transpants are surviving the change. They do live in a very beautiful part of California. They have done a lot of remodeling so that the home they bought truly reflects their personalities. Entertaining has always been important to them so they have removed walls and haved expanded the living room so that with a large sliding door in Debra's office, there is a lot of room in a small home. They live in the mountains as they have always wanted to live. The trees are old and have unique personalities. They don't own a lot of land but the neighbors don't block their view so it seems like they have a large back yard. They can see the bay from their deck which makes it a beautiful view on a sunny day. We will include some pictures to give everyone a better perspective.
