Hello again everybody? RC posting from lovely LA, gotta say; getting settled again and enjoying old digs, getting used to again? traffic, lines at restaurants, litter at the tot-lot, homeless people asking for change & rude people in general? ^_^
You all know the saying? you don?t know how good you have it until it?s gone? And, I do have to say, Irvine & RC have a better relationship now that we are far and long gone?!
The family checked out that Tot-lot right outside San Marino before we left and just marveled at the fresh smelling clean Cancun white sand in the box, and new equipment, versus the cigarette butt filled brown sand, rusted equipment at the Redondo Beach pier and the wife and I just had to laugh?
But? then again you don?t see old people flying kites for the kiddies, kids sharing all kinds of foods/snacks, super friendly, truly diverse families, and really dirty/soiled/kids in their PJs and yes even actually as many dads as there are moms during the day at the parks in Irvine?
Well? I?m really loving life again ^_^ and I have to admit I was quite the grouch living in Woodbury? sorry everyone?! We love visiting Irvine, using your parks, amenities, BBQs, pools, furniture, and public services and leaving at the end of the day? Which reminds me, still have a few FOB keys to Woodbury that I found through out the years; won?t mind putting it to good use with another get-together?
Ok? so the point of my post? Plan is to still wait and buy the LBC? but was just thinking of Plan B for some of you to consider who are gripping about Irvine inventories? and an alternative to those brand spanking new communities?
Remember Ann that works at Walnut TJs? Well, we?ve all became great friends, and she lives at the Willows in El Camino, next to Green Tree? Great Irvine old-timers, great sense of community, no HOAs, no Mello, great prices, good schools, down to earth, simple people? big well 5000+ sq/ft lots and you can do anything you want to you house?
If by chance the RC family find itself in Irvine again for some odd reason, The Willows is where we will call home for the next few years or so? Take any Willows home, tear it down, take San Marino or whatever new floor-plan you like and built it there? you have new construction, large yard, your in Irvine, and a better sense of community than Woodbury!
