Jim and Trudy Moodie returned to Jamul Haven as newlyweds.
It was great spending time getting to know them better.
Fireworks on July 3rd were a blast, as always, and we had a nice
crowd of friends to watch the show with guests Julie and Sam.
Due to the knee injury of one of the actors, the San Diego opening
of Dickinson was delayed until Thursday, July 23. The play will run
Thursday through Sunday at 8 PM each evening, closing on August 7th. Make
a reservation to stay with us during these dates and we'll include two free
tickets to the play (space available).

Ed. Note: Many thanks to Brian Landis who drove from LA
down to Jamul Haven and donated an original Charles Gifford Olive crate,
photo attached, and also provided us with this history update. Brian is
Henry's grandson.
(excerpted from "History of Kings County" published in 1939)
HENRY LANDIS
A man who has spent half a century in Kings County is Henry
Landis, manager for the past fifteen years of the large C. M. Gifford & Son
ranch at Murray. This well known property consists of 250 acres entirely
set to olives, and is by far the largest olive orchard in the San Joaquin
Valley. It was planted in 1912, and it is particularly interesting to note
that Mr. Landis assisted in setting out the trees at this early date, and
was not again connected with the property until thirteen years later when
he was put in charge of it.
The subject of this sketch attended the Lucerne grammar school,
and worked with his father on the Dobkins ranch until he was eighteen years
of age. For the following five years he followed various occupations, and
finally located in the city of Hanford, working for a transfer company for
a time, then at the Santa Fe depot, and then back to the transfer company.
When the position became open for a manager of the Gifford Ranch, Mr.
Landis applied for it and due to his farming experience and other good
qualifications he was given the post. That the selection was a wise one, is
proved by the fact that the orchard, in addition to being such a large one,
is considered one of the best olive properties in the state.

Hints from "The Everyday Cook-Book," (c) 1889 and found in
the Jamul Haven Angel House.
Cold on the Chest: A flannel dipped in boiling water, and sprinkled
with turpentine, laid on the chest as quickly as possible, will relieve the
most severe cold or hoarseness.

Chicken Cutlets: Season pieces of cold chicken or turkey with salt
and pepper. Dip in melted butter; let this cool on the meat, and dip in
beaten egg and in fine bread-crumbs. Fry in butter till a delicate brown.
Serve on slices of hot toast, with either a white or curry sauce poured
around. Pieces of cold veal also make a nice dish, if prepared in this
manner.
