Was Pictures: Now August Get-Together

[Guest guest]

Hey, Michele,

 

Nice to see you around.....

 

As you may have read from Kathleen, we are getting together the second

weekend in August. Hope you can plan to meet up with us. I have a

couple of really different venues in mind. Not the usual touristy

stuff, but very Southern California. Lots of Aromatherapy, and

gardens, and tea, naturally.

 

This is an open invite, by the way, so save the date now; all are

welcome to join us.

 

Cheers,

Christina

We are? That was only a suggestion you know. If something works better for

other folks I'm open to suggestions.

 

By the by, anyone know if one needs a passport to go to mexico. I suppose I

could google it, but I'm lazy/tired/in a hurry.

Unless you can make it in July, that is about all that does work for

me. But it's good to know we have options.

 

Yes, you need a passport, or a passport card (new thing for frequent

border crossers).

 

Cheers,

HAHAHAHAHA - K, you are so California, I get this response so much that

I had to laugh when you wrote this. " It was ONLY a suggestion. "

 

Seriously though. I REALLY wouldn't step foot into Mexico right now.

It is so violent because the drug wars down in Tijuana are out of

control. Just google some of the latest news. Tourists have been

getting carjacked as well. There was just a shoot out in the streets

of Tijuana recently that left a number of people dead in the street.

It was bad. Even folks who have lived down in Baja for years have been

hitailing it out of there, they have been suffering.

 

If you want to meet up, you may use my new place in Orange. I'm

located now in Old Town Orange around the corner from the circle where

all the antique stores are and sidewalk cafes. There's a chocolate

shop, great restaurants. Just walking around the neighborhood there

are old victorian houses, many that have been painted and decorated

like doll houses, though I'm sure Kathleen sees enough of those in SF.

Old Town Orange was built in 1871 if that gives you any idea about the

neighborhood I'm in. It's absolutely beautiful. I have enough meeting

space and we're currently building a lobby, kitchen and bathroom where

you can sit and of course oils. My husband's recording studio is right

next door to me. The Crystal Cathedral is just down the street from me.

 

Here's a link:

The best thing out of all this:

 

It's FREE, even the pitcher of water and cups (not the rolling eyes we

got last year) oh what the heck, I'll even pitch in some sodas. The

Lebanese Cafe around the corner is the bomb.

Hey, Michele,

 

Sounds like a plan to me. Thanks so much for offering your place. I can't

wait to see it! Probably walked right by it last week.....

 

There is a great little nursery at the back of one of the antique marts,

that has scented geraniums, plenty of herbs, and the cutest stone turtles I

have seen anywhere.

 

And there are coffee and tea places all over Old Orange, plus plenty of

parking, sun, and nice, friendly people. For the spouses and children that

might tag along, there are lots of things to do nearby: The Block at Orange

has shopping, Discovery Science Center isn't too far, and Disneyland isn't

much of a stretch, either. If you have a car.

 

There is a metro stop in Orange, but I don't know if it's active on the

weekend.

 

Thanks again, Michele, for the gorgeous offer!

I don't know about the Metro on the weekends. It would be nice if it

is because it's right around the corner from my place. I know the

trains run because I hear them and the stop is right around the

corner from my place. If you get off and walk through the parking

lot to Palm you'll see a warehouse, my place is right there. We're

like cattycorner to the Motion Picture Academy. It's a great area.

Just keep me posted as to times and all that good stuff, what you

want to eat and all that. Once you get there, we can pretty much

walk everywhere else, no need to drive and we have air conditioning

in the space.

 

Look forward to seeing everyone!

Sounds good, Michele.

 

A little closer, we'll ask who can make it and get some kind of a

head-count.

 

Cheers,

Christina

Yep!

 

But that will actually get tweaked a bit, with a better format. Let's call

this a get-together.

 

The program will depend on who is planning to join us. Though the fun stuff

will be a bit like last year.

 

Cheers,

Christina

Kathleen,

 

Yes, well, I don't think you need a passport to Go to Mexico, but you

do to Come Back from Mexico. So yes, get one. Even if you just walk

across the border.

 

The lines tend to be long and I don't recommend driving, but a tour

buss is a great alternative. Many will take you to a little village

for great lobster and margaritas and then back to TJ for shopping.

 

I was down in earlier this year and it seems fine and fun.

 

Cheers,
