After a 10 day whirlwind visit to LA, USA, I am home again in Brisbane, Australia. I've had engagements everyday since arriving home and no time to succumb to jet lag or to blog until today.
My eldest daughter, Carol, accompanied me to visit my youngest daughter, Sonya, who lives in LA with her husband, Bernie and their two toddlers, Fox and Banjo. It was lovely to hug and kiss them all in person instead of Skyping.
Sonya is now working to help pay the bills but she hates having to leave the little ones. However, they do have a lovely young nanny who looks after the children at home and Bernie helps out when he is not at work.
Sonya works as a production manager of the theatres at UCLA (University of California). She has been lucky to ease into her new job while the students have been on summer holiday but it will become busy next week when the students return.
One day Bernie took Carol and I and the two kids into UCLA to see where "mommy" works. (Yes, Fox is picking up the American accent). It is a beautiful Campus and Sonya is lucky to work in such a nice environment. It is a huge campus stretching for miles. We saw a small corner of the campus near where Sonya works.

The grounds are beautiful.
