Mission San Juan Capistrano


Tuesday we went to visit Grandma C's long-time friend, Marie. Grandma has known her since kindergarten (75 years)! Wow! Marie and Russ live in a great little community on a golf course. Russ has had to install a window shield of plexi to keep the golfballs from "visiting" inside their home. I'm glad we don't have that problem at our house. I guess living on the green is better than the fairway. Marie showed off her "ornaments" which ended up being her little garden of various flowers. Grandma C was in seventh heaven over this. I obviously missed getting the green thumb gene. I can't carry on a coherent conversation for an hour about plants. After seeing Marie we went to the Mission. It really is a neat place to see. They now have audio paddles that you carry with you throughout the grounds. At each stop you can listen to more information given about it. The main sanctuary was being renovated so we were unable to see much in there. However, the boys really enjoyed lighting candles and saying a little prayer for someone. It's the little things that kids like...especially if fire is involved.
