The blankets are quilted, crocheted, or knit. Members also make patriotic-themed blankets for children of local military families and preemie caps for babies in local hospitals. Samples of their work are proudly displayed in the glass cabinet across from the Cambia room. • The major highlight of the year is the work members did for the Red Hot Ballroom Competition.

Could you live on a boat that small for almost seven years? Well, that’s exactly what our neighbors Diane and John Anderson did from January 2001 to September 2007. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, they moved to Mission Viejo, California, in 1977. In 1989 they bought their boat, RagnDragn, brand new, and for 12 years they sailed the California coast. They both studied sailing and seamanship. John qualified as a diesel mechanic, and Diane became a Ham radio operator. Remember, in the middle of the ocean you have to be completely self-sufficient. Word-of-mouth tips from experienced cruisers helped prepare them for the dangers of sailing the open sea. Diane with villagers in Tanna, Vanuatu Nevertheless, John and Diane have some hair-raising tales to tell, like almost getting trapped in huge industrial fishing nets at night…or ask them about changing a sail in the middle of a raging storm. On January 29, 2001, John and Diane lifted the dock lines and departed from San Diego heading southeast 1,200 nautical miles to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This was the first leg of a 2,000-mile trip around the Pacific ports of Mexico, and their first long-term cruise offshore.

Contrary to the opinions of senior government Contact the author at [email protected]. officials, Siri takes the job seriously and, when confronted with three mysterious cases, he takes on the bureaucratic red tape and unravels each of the deaths through competent forensic examination, in spite of having almost no modern equipment and few resources. Siri, improvising to make up for this lack of resources, is able to empower his staff of Mr. Geung and Ms. Dtui using the advantage of their unorthodox yet effective abilities. Mr. Geung, who has Down’s syndrome, does his job with diligence and without complaint. Ms. Dtui has the talent to become a first-rate doctor but, since that would mean attending medical school abroad and only in countries friendly to the newly Communist Laos, her ambitions are frustrated. She does find, however, that she can learn from Dr. Paiboun, who tries to help foster her objectives. The three cases under examination have political sensitivity. The first is the sudden demise of a senior government official’s wife, who keels over in a crowded restaurant. The second deals with the corpses of three young Vietnamese men found in a jungle, bearing marks of torture during a time when Vietnam is the main ally By Larry Goodman

BY EVANGELINE GOMEZ LIFESTYLE AND FITNESS DIRECTOR

It may be warm outside, but don’t let that summer heat keep you closed up indoors as we have many activities and lots of fun for you to partake in all during July. We’re kicking off the month with our community Independence Day celebration at the Santa Rosa Clubhouse event lawn-patio-pool area on July 4 starting at 6:30 pm. This is a free fun-filled event for the whole family! We’ll be having a BBQ with hamburgers and hot dogs and all the fixings, along with some refreshing cold tea and lemonade beverages (beer and wine will be available for purchase). But we aren’t going to stop at the BBQ – there will be pool and lawn games for the kiddos as well as dancing and socializing for the adults. Then we’ll end the wonderful celebration with a televised firework show on our 18-foot outdoor screen. Hope you and your family can attend, just please make sure to sign up ahead of time so we know how many to plan for. To show our support for our military during this patriotic month, we will be collecting items for the Adopt a US Soldier Unit program. The drive will begin in July, and there will be a collection table at the Independence Day celebration. Please help by bringing an item to donate on July 4 or anytime in July at either clubhouse. A full list of donation suggestions can be found online at scshca.com. At the end of the month join us at the new “Always a Happy Hour” event for some dancing, socializing, and good times. This will be such a great event to get to know your neighbors a little better or at least check out the dance moves. Make sure to get your tickets early plus check out the flyer and article on page 32 for more information. If taking a break from the summer temperatures sounds like just what you need, join us on the cool bus trips to Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens and the Padres vs. Reds game. The Huntington will be a trip to remember as we will start with a guided tour of the newly renovated, 100-year-old, 12-acre Japanese Gardens and then have time on own to explore the library, art collections, and amazing grounds. Beautiful lilies, roses, and lotus will be blooming just to name a few. However, if you prefer the action of sports, who doesn’t love a good baseball game in a fantastic stadium in downtown San Diego? See you in the clubhouse or on the bus enjoying your lifestyle.
