Looking for a special place to go for Easter Brunch? Marianne always puts out a wonderful brunch spread for our guests on Easter, and there is no extra charge. So take that money you were going to spend on a brunch and spend an evening with us Easter weekend instead!
Rosalba and Armando have settled into their new quarters and are learning the ropes to be assistant Innkeepers. They've got great positive outlooks on life and we love them already. You will too.
The Rancho Santa Fe News did a very nice write up about us, saying we were "The perfect getaway right here in San Diego." You can read the entire article by clicking the link below.
We've started a play reading on the first Saturday of each month. Interested people arrive between 4:30 and 4:45 and the readings start promptly at 5 PM. More information about the readings is available at: http://www.aitheater.org/Readings.html. The next reading, on Saturday, 3 April, will feature a new play by William, so stop by if you can.
We've replaced the oven with a new Electrolux double oven from Sears, and thus far Marianne is thrilled with it.
Happy anniversary to Carolyn and Andre. Sandi escaped the cold in Canada to spend some time in sunny California (thanks again for the Peacock earings!), and there were some "staycations" by locals Gary and Ersie; and Russel and Lisa. Craig, Sharyl, and Brent came in from the east coast to attend a wedding at Steele Canyon golf course.

Henry S. Burton, Brigadier-General, U.S. Army, was born in New York in 1818. He was appointed to West Point from Vermont and gradutated in 1839. He served in the Mexian War as lieutenant-colonel of New York volunteers, distinguishing himself by his defense of La Paz, Lower California, and was also engaged at Todos Santos. Burton was promoted to Captain, September 22, 1847, serving as commander of Post Mission San Diego, when he married Maria Amparo Ruiz. She was born in La Paz, Baja California and came to California in 1849. In 1852 Maria and her husband purchased Rancho Jamul in San Diego. Maria's great uncle, Francisco Ruiz had been the comandante of San Diego in the early 1800s. In California she studied English under a tutor and was a life-long friend and correspondent with Mariano Vallejo. She would later write to Vallejo of her aspirations:
"...I am persuaded that we were born to do something more than simply live, that is, we were born for something more, for the rest of our poor countrymen."
Captain Burton remained in California on duty in various forts until 1862, when, having been promoted to major, May 14, 1861, the Civil War began. He was made colonel of the 5th artillery, August 11, 1863, and assumed command of the artillery reserve of the army of the Patomac, 1864. He was breveted brigadier-general, March 13, 1865, for services at the capture of Petersburg, and stationed in various forts until his death at Fort Adams, Newport, R.I., April 4, 1869. After her husband's death, Maria returned to San Diego where she wrote two novels, "Who Would Have Thought It?," published in 1872, and "The Squatter and the Don," published in 1885, under pen name C. Loyal, becoming California's first Mexican-American woman writer. While living on Rancho Jamul, the Burtons had made improvements on it and submitted title to the Court of Land Claims. For the next few decades Maria would be involved in dozens of lawsuits trying to retain title to her land. All the while she was involved in litigation over Jamul and eventually her attorney fees for the litigation and the costs of unpaid mortgages forced her into bankruptcy.

Marianne has continued cleaning and organizing, with Rosalba's help. Anyone want about a thousand clothes hangers? William's continued working quite a bit in Sacramento. Both Will and Regina have been doing well in school. Regina's started her new job as a waitress at TGIF and she likes it a lot, although she's still nervous. Will has a new girlfriend (shhhh). Liz has rejoined her squadron, so she's still on deployment but now she's in a safer (and nicer) location. Daniel finished his training and obtained his jet type rating, so he's now flying VIPs around Europe in a private jet.

Hints from "The Everyday Cook-Book," (c) 1889 and found in the Jamul Haven Angel House.
For Sore Throat: Cut slices of salt pork or fat bacon; simmer a few moments in hot vinegar, and apply to throat as hot as possible. When this is taken off, as the throat is relieved, put around a bandage of soft flannel. A gargle of equal parts of borax and alum, dissolved in water, is also excellent. To be used frequently.

Recipies from "The Everyday Cook-Book," (c) 1889 and found in the Jamul Haven Angel House.
Chicken Pates: Mince chicken that has been previously roasted or boiled, and season well; stir into this a sauce made of half a pint of milk, into which while boiling a teaspoonful of corn starch has been added to thicken, season with butter, about a teaspoonful, and salt and pepper to taste. Have ready small pate pans lined with a good puff paste. Bake the crust in a brisk oven; then fill the pans and set in the oven a few minutes to brown very slightly.
