We left L.A. area 1988 and never looked back. Ended up across the country in Chapel Hill, NC.

I always missed seasons living in CA (1965-88) but I could sure do with a lot less humidity/heat
than we get here in the south in the summer.

Sounds like your granddaughter's mom will be staying around. Hopefully, she'll appreciate
having an extra set of grands nearby.
