orange county: Is the Toll Road Profiting from Free Return Postage?
- 01/29/09 07:30 AM
For those of us in South Orange County, California, toll roads are a relatively new thing. Living in Laguna Niguel and selling homes all over Orange County, I often find one or the other of the toll roads handy, especially during rush hour. And having a transponder means I don't have to have the exact change or stop to pay the toll. Since I got my first transponder right when the first toll road opened in 1996, it was pretty old. I was pleasantly surprised to get a brand new, state-of-the-art transponder in the mail and I didn't even have to … (1 comments)
orange county: The Pet Expo is Coming to Town
- 04/10/08 02:58 PM
It’s hard to believe it’s time for America’s Family Pet Expo to come to town again. I’ve participated for 7 or 8 years now, and can tell you first hand, it’s a great way to spend an afternoon. Actually, the afternoons get really crowded (think wall-to-wall people) so if you can make it earlier in the day, you’ll get around a lot easier. The Expo is a ton of fun. There's shows and demonstrations all day long and you can get up close to your favorite dog & cat breeds. There's reptiles (that’s me with Lucy a 35 year old Rhino … (4 comments)

orange county: A Single Women, Buying My First Home
- 02/13/08 07:36 AM
In 1994, I was a secretary for a real estate investment firm, living by myself in a tiny apartment. My car was on its last legs and I was sitting in a finance class learning about different ways to finance a home purchase. It was a requirement to renew my real estate license, otherwise I wouldn't have been there. I was daydreaming about the new car I was planning to buy when something about adjustable rate mortgages caught my attention. I started doing the math and realized that a home of my own just might be in reach. I checked my … (9 comments)
orange county: The Place to be Last Saturday was the 5th Annual CARe Show
- 02/06/08 10:24 AM
If you like pets or custom vintage cars, the place to be last Saturday was the 5th Annual CARe show at the San Juan Capistrano Community Center in South Orange County. Like many of the animal rescue groups I've been involved with over the years, Capistrano Animal Rescue Effort, the folks who take care of, and and find homes for the helpless and abandoned animals of San Juan Capistrano, are always in need of funding. They put on a terrific car show every year, complete with live music, vendors selling everything from car polish to dog shampoo and an opportunity drawing … (3 comments)
