The butterflies are out in force and visiting the gardens.
Marianne Beauchamp identified this one as a Western Tiger Swallowtail.
We've installed a new automated coffee machine that makes brewing
cappuccinos, espressos, latte macchiatos, and just plain old steamed milk a
snap so we're now able to offer these specialty coffee drinks during
breakfast.
We've purchased 3 new bicycles that guests can borrow. There are
several bike trips from Jamul Haven where you can ride many miles through
beautiful scenery in a bike lane the entire way.
We've started a Recession Buster discount program, offering a 10%
discount on all rooms for on-line reservations.
We've planted 176 flowering vines along the perimeter fence. These
included Ruby Passion Vines, Lavender Trumpet Vines, and Pink Variegated
Bower Vines. We've planted 416 trees, bushes and perinneals around the
property, including Yew Pines, Sweet Shade, Camphor, Hydrangea, Dwarf
Myrtle, Pittosporum, and Calla Lillies.

Elizabeth is back in San Diego for the next few weeks in
U.S. Navy Legal School. She's finding that she likes the whole legal thing
better than she expected.
Marianne has been riding her bike and swimming 50 laps in the pool
every day. On those occassions when William is able to go with her on a
bike ride, he can't keep up!
William's play "Dickinson" finished a very successful run in San
Diego. Every performance was sold out, and the theater box-office needed
to turn people away. His new play "Bonzo" will have a free developmental
reading in San Diego at 3 PM on Saturday, 29 August. Regina is directing
the production. We'll send out an invitation with the location in the next
day or two.
It appears that the bones were not set quite right in Regina's foot,
so she needed to have an "adjustment" to get the foot healing right.
Hopefully, everything is on-track now for the foot to be completely healed
and ready for dancing. She starts at SDSU in a couple of weeks.

Hints from "The Everyday Cook-Book," (c) 1889 and found in
the Jamul Haven Angel House.
Chilblains: Chilblains are most irritating to children. The
following is an infallible cure for unbroken chilblaines: Hydrochloric
acid, diluted, one-quarter ounce; hydrocyanic acid, diluted, 30 drops;
camphor water, six ounces. This chilblain lotion cures mild cases by one
application. It is a deadly poison, and should be kept under lock and key.
A responsible person should apply it to the feet of children. This must
not be applied to broken chilblains.

Recipies from "The Everyday Cook-Book," (c) 1889 and found
in the Jamul Haven Angel House.
Fricasseed Rabbits: The best way of cooking rabbits is to fricassee
them. Cut them up, or disjoint them. Put them into a stew-pan; season
them with Cayenne pepper, salt and some chopped parsley. Pour in a pint of
warm water (or of veal broth) and stew it over a slow fire till the rabbits
are quite tender; adding (when they are about half done) some bits of
butter rolled in flour. Just before you take it from the fire, enrich the
gravy with a gill or more of thick cream with some nutmeg grated into it.
Stir the gravy well, but take care not to let it boil after the cream is
in, lest it curdle. Put the pieces of rabbit on a hot dish, and pour the
gravy over them.
