Sure! Making your own soap is quite a mountain thing to do! Fun for gifts, too! Thanks, Diane!
FROM: Diane Ewing
Would you like to make your own – wonderful – laundry soap? How about something environmentally friendly? Most laundry soaps are about 30 cents a load and full of chemicals, dye, and perfume. Here is a recipe for a soap that make your clothes soft and clean. It is non allergic and environmental safe and one cup per load is about 3 cents.

Friends of the Mountain, Steve and Carrie Raney have an interesting business at their ranch in Mesa Grande. They train, breed, board, sell and compete Retrievers in AKC Hunt Trials. The handsome guy pictured is named ‘Bishop’, he was recently adopted to train for hunting.
Steve is presently at AKC Master Nationals in Smith River, Kansas. 672 dogs are competing and Steve has a total of 12 dogs. He is running 9 and the other three are being handled by their owners. They judge the dogs by their marking, training, perseverance, and style. There are a total of 5 series. 6 dogs from Raney Ranch have made it to the 4th Series as of today. It is a very big accomplishment for their two clients running and handling their dogs for this 4th Series. One more series to go for this competition! Let’s cheer on Rainey Ranch Retrievers!
Here are the Raney Ranch links:
Recently we had the opportunity to visit a dear friend who will be celebrating 101 years of life October 3rd, 2013. Ginny Moats was born the year the Titanic sank, the Oreo cookie was introduced, and when gas went up to 4 cents a gallon!
One of the highlights of her life has ties to Palomar, and I thought some of you might find it interesting too.
Jim, Richard, and Earl Walls, and Linda Walls Fortney

The Walls Family suffers yet another tragedy and is sad to announce the sudden death of Earl’s son Richard. Dr. Richard Walls suffered a massive heart attack on Friday, September 13 2013. Preceded in death by his mother, Helen P. Walls (2000) and father Earl L. Walls (2012) he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
As everyone knows, the Annual Firefighter Award Banquet was very important to Earl and he paid tribute to the Fire Department by preparing and serving the meal for 17 years. This being the first year without Earl, Richard and his son Andrew, as well as the entire family, prepared and served the Awards Banquet just two weeks prior to his death. Richard was a very popular pediatrician with many accomplishments. A web page has been established to allow visitors to learn more about him, professionally and personally.
As most of you know, David Ross has been one of our neighbors here on Palomar. In fact, he has owned his cabin since the beginning of the century and has published some delightful editorials about life on the Mountain! (Thinking we should turn those around again this winter!)
David has been in the newspaper business for 40 years, both editing and writing most recently for the Valley Center Roadrunner. Click to read why David quit the Roadrunner, and keep reading to see how you can help support the new Valley Center Press:

From Faith Armory,
Beginning this Saturday, September 14 during our Grand Opening Event and going until October 14, we will be running the following contest to raise money for the Mendenhall family and, specifically, for Joel Mendenhall’s three daughters, ages 1, 4 and 4, who are his survivors and the focus of this contest. He was a great man and father who lived a good, honest life, and he provided well for his family. His ranch, Mendenhall’s Homegrown Cattle Co., supplies grass-fed, free-range beef to Whole Foods Markets Inc. in San Diego and Orange counties.
100% of the proceeds from this contest will go toward Mendenhall’s Girls. You can read about Joel Mendenhall, his legacy and his family, as well as give donations at http://www.mendenhallgirls.com
We ask that you please share this post with others, to give the Mendenhall family the support they deserve in this difficult time.
Thank you,
The Faith Armory Family
41669 Winchester Rd, Temecula, CA 92590

When is the last time you read the Julian News? Great little paper.
When we are down at the Round Up BBQ at Lake Henshaw, or find ourselves in Julian, we always pick up a Julian paper. Love to read through the news of their Apple Days, local events, restaurant specials, and stories from that gold rush town in days-gone-by.

You’ve met our Mountain Composer, Larry Groupe several times on the Mountain News. His wife, Cici has been a very well-kept secret creating in their studio here on the Mountain top. We ran into Larry and Cici at the Lazy H and after visiting I asked Larry to send us a link.
He said, “All these paintings were done on Palomar and of trees that we see from our own property or just a short walk away!”
It is my privilege to introduce the very talented Cici, her cause, art, and music. Such a clear, lovely voice: http://www.ciciporter.com
