Life Hello from Rancho Cordova Ca. For most people,even from Ca., that means absolutely nothing! Small town amoung many small towns in the high desert of Northern Ca. It has it's perks situated as it is just about 2 hours from Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite, and about 3 to Reno and the Red Woods and of couse the commute to the Bay Area. Not LA, but it has it's share of VIP's in the area. We have two seasons, hot and dry and rain and cool. Blossoms are out by March and leaves are gone by Nov.

Not only because of the Medical Facilities available, but they can be sure of being able to get out every day of the year. No snow banks, etc. to challenge wheelchairs etc. Which having Skyler in both his power as well as manual chair makes our lives so much easier. Along with a good Regional Transit transportation system as well as Amtrac to the Bay we can go and do whenever. Have lived at the same address for 17 years now. Skyler is going to be 17 in Dec. He is very advanced and is homeschooling. My other son works at the Ca. State Archives and is in the last year of his Masters. So my life revolves around them and their friends.
