Leslie has been traveling all over the world for years, Patti has kicked back to try to reconnect with her family. Experiencing  the birth of her first granddaughter, Genevieve who is just the love of her life. A few months later her son Montana gets married.

Then Patti drops her daughter off at the airport for an early morning for a vacation in California. Patti goes north to watch the sunrise on the ocean and stops in newburyport, stops to talk to someone who says you should move here, an apartment is right there. Patti calls agent and sees apartment with Roni (sister) then decides it is home.  She moves and loves her surrender.  Thankful for her daughter who lived with her thru her recovery, cooking,cleaning and anything else Patti let her go be the 30 year old she should be. Patti builds an independent life in which she needs no vacation from.  It was very serendipitous to stumble upon this new place in which Patti feels is HER.

Patti still goes to California each winter, for her BBF birthday (Paulette) and get out of the snowy winters of  Boston.  2 years and leslie and Patti have not traveled together but things are about to change!

Update:  Leslie and Patti are exploring Leslie’s new home in aguadulce Almería, Spain. Beach days, decorating days, new stuff, home shows, etc. of course not to be overshadowed by the port life, beach days and surrounding communities. Perfect balance for a perfect location.
