And little did I know within eight months we would be on Air France, flying to Paris and on to Vienna Austria and Budapest Hungary to celebrate the Millennium New Year for 2000!
Here we are all dolled up in our finery on New Years Eve having cocktails in the leading hotel in Vienna!
The next year we decided to spend the 2001 New Years in Marrakech, Morocco! We again flew into Paris and then Casablanca, took the train to Rabat, then a chauffeured Mercedes to Marrakech and the train again to Casablanca and Rick's Bar!
We were one of the first to have champagne brunch at the newly opened J. Paul Getty Museum in 2002 over looking the Pacific Ocean and the new Frank O. Gehry Disney Symphony Hall opened in the fall of 2003 in downtown Los Angeles.
In 2003 Viviane called me and asked if I wanted to be a partner in her new business, Astoria Senior Residence and I said yes. I studied and after a state test, became a certified Senior Residence Administrator!
We, of course, are always doing something special when I visit the Los Angeles area in 2004 we had dinner at an airport in Van Nuys where many people have their private jets and vintage planes serviced and stored, ready to fly on a short notice!
In 2005 we went to the special Tutankhamen exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum, one of many events we have enjoyed! Of course we also had luncheons and dinners at the Beverly Hills Hotel and also cocktails and lunches at Rodeo Drive.
And in 2008 we went to Truckee Nevada for a glider ride over Lake Tahoe and then went to Reno Nevada at the Eldorado Casino for dinner at Roxy's, champagne of course!
And in 2010 Viviane decided to move from Beverly Hills to Austin Texas so I am going for the first time to Texas other than flying into airports to go to South America or Central America or beyond.
Check out the photos of us working on the yard over the years and the high hill behind the house and repainting before Viviane sold the house to move to Austin!
Here I am on the left doing gardening on the hillside in Beverly Hills circa 2000.
In 2001 we attended the grand opening of the Los Angeles Museum of Art's exhibit of the Pharaoh Aknaten and on the right, working on the deck in 2010!
Here we are in 2010 upgrading the house before selling it with a new paint color for the front columns of the house.
