Jims Great California Adventure

Jim got to spend 4 days in southern California without me! Yes, I was home alone! (That’s another story.) He had two days of business to tend to with a vendor in his home town of Sylmar. Every night he spent at Jenna & Derics’ in Tustan. Friday night he met up with his childhood next-door-neighbor buddy Eddie Lye and his family. (This picture was taken in the early fifties…Eddie, Jim and Eddies older sister in Sylmar.) They hadn’t seen each other in over 30 years! They just picked up where they left off sharing stories about their lives. Jim says he would have recognized Eddie if he passed him on the street. The biggest surprise was Eddie telling Jim that he had named one of his sons after him…James Russell Lye!

He also went to the place he used to work, old houses he had lived in, saw an old neighbor and visited his Dads’ grave sight, which he hadn’t done in over 30 years either.

Saturday they all went to San Diego to visit with Jason, Erin and the girls. (Now that part made me jealous!)
