San Juan Capistrano December 2006

Hi! Bet you thought I was gone for good, hah? In your dreams. As the line goes from Poltergeist, “I’m ba-ack.” I’m claiming “poetic license” on the pronoun.

So how’ve you been? How was December?

We had a fairly good December. It started with us going to a party at the El Adobe in San Juan Capistrano (home of the Swallows, where their return is heralded every March 20th with a parade) hosted by a pair of very dear old friends. It was a bitter-sweet experience. Larry, the person the party was in honor of, has a rare Cancer and it is feared he may be leaving us soon, so his wife, Margaret, threw him this fabulous surprise party.

We arrived early, so took the opportunity to stroll around the neighborhood. It’d been ages since Don and I had visited the town. We hadn’t been there since our wedding reception (also held at the El Adobe) . . . .in 1990!


So these are a few images of the neighborhood and the party.
