Palomar Mountain News

Seller said, “Bring us an offer!”  It was so beautiful during a recent snow!  Wouldn’t you love this view?

When the Union Tribune reporter got here last week, he said he needed to have the story include all real estate on Palomar.  That worked for me.  I took him by my listings and this one was mentioned.  When I asked the sellers if they had a name for their cabin, they said it was ‘like living in a tree house with views from every window’.

What are you allergic to?  As most of you know, I lost my voice.  The very few of you that I did talk to, over about 4 months, heard me sounding like a big old toad or a quiet little frog. But, now my voice is back better than ever!

After seeing several specialists, taking prescriptions with miserable side effects, and no answers, I finally went to an allergist.  I never thought of myself having allergies but with age (oh, please!) stuff like this apparently happens.

I was sleeping about an hour and a half at a time, so hard to breathe, couldn’t answer the phone and my symptoms seemed to be worse on the mountain (wait a minute!  That’s where we live!).  I finally googled ‘allergist’.

A hour and a half later I was at her office.  The allergy testing was very simple.  She has an amazing collection of little glass viles like perfume samples come in.  These viles represent all the foods and environmental ‘stuff’ that people are allergic to.  All you do is hold one in your hand while she tests your body strength.

Found out I was very allergic to horses (Buddy and Dollar!), cats (Mousetrap!), cedar and oak trees (that would be the Mountain!, oranges (organic, fresh squeezed!)  and a few other things.  After her wonderful, pain free, totally non invasive treatments, she CLEARED me of all my allergies.  The very first treatment, I slept through the night for the first time in months.  It took about 8 weeks to complete all the ‘clearings’ but by the end, my voice was back (much to Don’s dismay!).

I do feel like shouting from the mountain top: “Go see Dr. Gaila!”  I encourage you to share this with your family and friends.  No one needs to suffer with any allergies – find out what’s bugging you, get cleared, and enjoy life to it’s fullest!

Nathan was helping move a trailer in the forest and it didn’t take long to realize he’d brushed up against some poison oak.  He had horrible allergies to poison oak and an early flight the next morning to Europe. Called Dr. Gaila, she was able to meet him on his way to the airport for a quick treatment.  By the time he landed, the poison oak was gone.  Her treatments are amazing.

The next time you’re up, come on over and let’s go love on the cats and feed some carrots to those horses.  And, I’ll talk your ear off – sorry – just catching up!

Hearts full of love on Palomar Mountain!

Just imagine!  This heart could be YOURS!  It is FREE with purchase!

I discovered it sitting by a tree at the Log Cabin in the Sky.  Maybe for you computer guys, we’ll call it Log Me Inn or the dreamers wanting to make your dreams come true: Log Cabin Castle…

Have YOU already visited the Log Cabin?  Give us a few more days and you will not believe the transformation with tree work and staging!

On a roll for all you Lovers out there!

Bonnie and her Cowboy, sitting by the fire…

Don’t you think Abe would be pleased to have his photo at a place of honor in this charming Caboose?  Very fitting for President’s Day Weekend.  No cherry trees, but 150 apple, peach and pear trees, on this 23 acre ranch for sale on Palomar Mountain.

Click to see the Little Red Caboose on Channel 10 News.  All this fun is through the eye of reporter, Joe Little.   We sure have a new respect for the time and work that goes into a minute on the news!  Thanks, Joe!

New Neighbors, Mark and Maybelle LeMay played a part, too.  Oh my, how are we going to top this when they bring the kids up next weekend?!?

A few months ago we had all those promises of lots of rain and snow. I would have never guessed I’d be wearing short sleeves and sandals in the middle of February.  February and March are normally our biggest months for snow.  Not this week! We’re enjoying Southern Cal at it’s finest with our bright sunny sky today, above the gray gloom I see down in the flatlands.  Summer weather and no bugs – what a bonus!

Remembering some fun Valentine weather on this little mountain, I just had to send you the link to Snow in 2008. Eight years ago was such a treat with lots of kisses at the post office and love for all!

Happy Valentines Day from the Mountain top!

What great coverage for our little mountain by Union Tribune reporter, Phillip Molnar.  Here is a link to the latest.  Thank you Phillip!

Who is coming next to see the Caboose and have a little tour of this mountain!?!

Take a peek at what we have now with Palomar Mountain Real Estate – with more to come, soon!

After years of drought, we sure do have a lot of trees failing ’round the mountain.  Cedars die from the bottom, up.  Firs, from the top, down.  A few months ago, the very top of this tree caught my eye.  So sad!!!  Such a beautiful tree.  We have learned that once you see the top of a fir tree look like ‘Fall Colors’, it is just a matter of time and the entire tree dies.  The tops can snap right out of these trees and can become a dangerous situation.  With the Cabin Fever Vacation Rental right there, that tree is coming down today, hopefully before our Valentine weekend guests arrive.

Our local logger, plans a face cut and then should have it on the ground in just a few minutes.  He’ll be there about 3:30 if you’d like to watch: 22119 Crestline.  Pretty amazing to see in action. (Miss the cabin Nick, miss the cabin!)

RE: Wildfire Community Preparedness Day Award

Hi All,

FYI, I’ve been voting daily for this and with everyone’s help we are currently at 77 votes!  There are only 10 others ahead of us with between 96 and 260 votes so our chances are very good.  I set up a recurring Outlook Calendar reminder through 2/28 so every day I get a reminder and this link takes me directly to the page and I click “Vote”.  It literally takes 10 seconds out of my day so if you are interested in doing the same, here is the link:  http://review.wizehive.com/voting/search/nfpapublic2016/?q=wilson&p=1  If just our little group votes every day between today and the 28th, that’s 119 more votes!

Best,

Gina Aven
