Santa Paula

is a charming town, surrounded by lush farm fields and about 17 miles from Oxnard. If you are ever in Santa Paula, I recommend eating at the MuPu Grill... upscale but not too pricey and great food. The town has lots of murals that tell the story of Santa Paula and honors the migrant workers. Even though the town is nice, I do not think it is what we are looking for... for one thing it is too far from the larger cities where we will need to work. Ventura or Ojai valley is the smarter choice. Next week I will go back to Ventura and really look at the temp agencies around that area and of course a place to live. It is still scarey... the unknown always is but I am feeling better to have settled on a place to live, now I just have to work on setting things in motion.

Tomorrow I go back home...

Like Obama Keeps Saying

we gotta move forward and not dwell on the past...that means you Inge... time to buckle down and focus on the upcoming move. I will drive down south in May, hopefully during the first week and check Ojai, and the surrounding Ventura county. Santa Paula is on my list too. One of my customers is a Fedex long haul trucker and he lives in Chino. He has been helpful in telling me his opinion about places to live. If anyone living is southern California reads this blog, I would be most grateful for any leads...
My hubby is a cook/chef for an assisted living place and wants work in that field, me I am looking for office work - receptionist would be great. I am learning excel and brushing up on word perfect. We are both hard working and have excellent references. I want to sell at the local flea markets on the weekends. We used to live in San Francisco and are used to living around open minded liberal thinking individuals. I guess to sum it up, I worked to elect Obama, I prefer alternative medicine, we think marijuana should legalized, along with gay marriage, etc. We consider ourselves to be social liberals and fiscal conservatives. Living in Chico - we are pretty much in the minority. Anyways any ideas would be great - you can email me at

Don't forget to laugh outloud!
