Palomar Mountain News

So fun to look out and see these gals enjoying the rain so much.  Our next-door granddaughters had a friend up.  They had an option to stay by the fire doing crafts.  But all wanted go on an adventure with me!  We headed over to Crestline to check on cabins tonight and loved seeing a bit of snow.  Still waiting for that white stuff on State Park Road. We do appreciate every drop of rain we get.  But this family does a happy dance when it is a winter wonderland.

May you enjoy your Thanksgiving Weekend, where ever you may be.  We have a spot for you ’round our fire and would love to see you.  Thank you so much for our connections through Palomar, the Mountain News and entrusting me with your Real Estate needs.

Giving thanks with a grateful heart,

Bonnie and Family

I just had to go out and take a few snow photos today. When I got back, the owner of this one had called.  They are reducing the price hoping a new family will enjoy their move-in ready cabin for the holidays.  Now just $185,000 so who will it be?

Simply click for the MLS info and photos.  We  could do a cash purchase in about 5 business days.  Or, my lender has already been to the cabin and confident in his loan product for you to have the keys in just a few weeks or less!

Yesterday’s snow is almost melted but more on the way next week.  Bundle up and let’s get you in!

Loving our first snow!!!

There is a silent auction planned Saturday, November 30th, 2019, along with the Best Christmas Play Ever.  They could use YOUR help.

They looking primarily for artisan and handmade items and also welcome other donations.  So far they have a live edge coffee table, a hand routed, Nativity scene plaque and a pair of Christmas paintings, all done by mountain residents.

What are YOUR ideas for an auction item?  It will be so fun to see what shows up!

Simple contact Lori at palomarmountainarts@gmail.com to contribute an auction item.

Deadline for auction items is Friday, 11/29

The play is directed, coordinated, and preformed ALL by volunteers.  100% of ALL proceeds will go toward the costs of putting on this play and hopefully have a pad for the next production.  Thanks to all!

So thankful for the lovely rain!  Our gauge shows 5 inches for this storm.  We had only a dusting of snow over here on State Park Road. Crestline had more that stayed on the ground. About gone now…  But, wait!  “A chance of snow Thanksgiving Day!”

How fun is that!?!??

Cecelia just called with the news that a tree is down on the South Grade.  Bonnie Spear moved some branches to slip around.  County Road Station has been notified.

YOU are invited to stop at the Apple Stand for a piece of free cake!  Come celebrate with us!!!  The oldest cast member in the play will be a teenager tomorrow!  Her schedule is busier than her GramBonnie’s!  Rehearsals, lessons, school, apple and show ticket sales and more!  The kids are on their way up from church and I’ll meet them at the top of the grade with their set-up and lunch.  Had a last-minute idea to surprise her with a birthday cake!

Thank you to all who have donated apples, helped pick apples, bought apples and tickets for the show on the 30th.  We would love to have you stop for free cake!!!

If you still need apples, with have big bins of a variety that were picked this morning.  Self bag or the kids will do it for you.
