TSA Spills Formula in Suitcase

Martha Suitcase

Our kids flew in to visit us. When Martha opened her suitcase there was baby formula everywhere. There was a form that the TSA puts into bags that it has inspected. I have no problem with inspections but this was just plain unacceptable. They had spilled the formula all over in the suitcase. It seemed like it was done on purpose. The formula not only made a sticky mess all over everything but it is very expensive. This was a lot of money for this young couple to lose. I think they should have compensated them or at the very least apologized.

March 19th San Juan Capistrano Celebrates the Return of the Swallows on St. Joseph’s Day

Have you visited the San Juan Capistrano in California? If not this tradition happens on March 19th each year. The bells are ringing, the Mariachi are playing, and people waiting in anticipation today at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. The celebration is an annual event with the celebration of St. Joseph’s Day but also for the return of the swallows to the mission.

Have you visited the Mission San Juan Capistrano in California? If not it has a tradition on March 19th each year. It is also a beautiful town. Even if you can’t be there today make a plan to visit.

Each year the swallows return to build their little mud homes at the mission. Then in October (celebrated October 23rd) they leave for the winter. They say this has been going on for more than 200 years. Where do they migrate to? Goya, Argentina.

If you get a chance to be there it is a festive celebration you might get to see masses of swallows arriving on March 19th or leaving if you go on October 23rd.

We are Chi Chi’s Pets

IMG_5481

We are Chi Chi’s pets. She owns and runs the house. It only takes one look or maybe a little bark to prompt us to give in to her. Who could deny such a beautiful face.  She hates her picture taken but we got one where she was still. Usually she is moving around so fast we can’t get a good picture of her.
