Dear Members,
Recently members visited the Cabrillo Ranch in Ventura and glimpsed early California history
while touring an incredible Victorian home. It was our second historic home tour this year
and they are very popular trips with our members.
Our visit to the Cabrillo Ranch in August
We are continuing the series in November with a tour of The Gamble House in Pasadena.
Designed by Greene and Greene in 1908 it is a National Historic Landmark fully preserved to
its original splendor. This trip is open to family and friends. Please take time to read our travel
pages we are sure you will find a trip you will enjoy.
I hear it from our members and I say it myself “Where has the time gone?”, and “How can it be
September already”? Well folks, it’s true, we are heading into fall and all the holidays when we
love to spend time with family and friends. Why not share OCCOF “fun” and “friendships” with
your 50+ family and friends who are not members yet? As members we know how enriched our
lives are by belonging to such a wonderful club!
Your Executive Board of Directors invites you to give the Gift of Friendship with a reduced Gift
Membership of $15 (for new members only!) until the end of the year. New members will meet
nice people, travel to exciting destinations and enjoy a variety of activities. Give the gift they’ll
thank you for all year long! (See Page 19 for application)
Wishing you beautiful days and peaceful nights,
Candace Bartsch

Recipe for the Fall
Ingredients:
1 ½ -2 lb Fresh Salmon fillet
¼ C
Butter, or olive oil
1 Onion
1 Lemon
Salt & Pepper
Garlic Powder
Chili Powder
Dried Dill
“Grilled Salmon!”
Directions:
Preheat grill to 300 degrees. Rinse salmon fillet
and pat dry. Cut into spatula-sized pieces. Coat
the salmon liberally with butter or olive oil and
season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder,
chili powder and dill. Slice onion horizontally and
separate into rings. Slice the lemon horizontally,
remove seeds. Place the onion rings and lemon
slices on the salmon. Lightly oil the grill and cook
the salmon, about 12 minutes, skin side down,
until you can see the white fat of the salmon developing on the surface and edges of the fillet, and
the fish flakes easily. When cooked, the meat will
separate easily from the skin. Serves 4 to 8 !
It’s Not What It Used To Be “One of my great grandkids asked me the other day,
“What was your favorite fast food when you were growing up?” I answered, “We didn’t
have fast food when I was growing up, all the food was slow.” “C’mon, seriously, where
did you eat?” “It was a place called home,” I explained. “My mother cooked every day
and when Dad got home from work, we sat down together at the dining room table, and
if I didn’t like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.” By this
time, the kid was laughing so hard I was afraid he was going to suffer serious internal
damage, so I didn’t tell him the part about how I had to have permission to leave the
table. And some other things, like some parents never owned their own homes, wore
Levis, set foot on a golf course, traveled out of the country or had a credit card. In their
later years they had something called a revolving charge card, good only at Sears. Or
SearsRoebuck. There’s no Roebuck any more. Maybe he died. My parents never drove me to soccer practice; we never
heard of soccer. I had a bicycle and it had only one speed, slow. We had no television in our house until I was 11, but my
grandparents had a 10-inch black and white TV. Some folks had a lens taped to the front of the TV to make the picture
look larger. We didn’t have a car until I was 15. Before that, the only car in the family was my grandfather’s Ford. I never
had a phone in my room. The only phone in the house was in the parlor and it was on a party line. Before you dialed, you
had to listen to hear if anyone was already on the line. Milk was delivered to our front door every day. All newspapers
were delivered by young boys and all boys delivered newspapers. I did, six days a week. Cost 7 cents each and I got to
keep 2 cents. Had to get up at 4:00 every morning and on Saturday I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers. My
favorite customers always gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change. My least favorite were the ones who were
never home on collection day. If YOU grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of
these memories with your children or grandchildren or even great grandchildren. Growing up now sure is different!
“Don’t let your worries get the best of you. Remember, Moses started out as a basket case.”
The good Lord didn’t create anything without a purpose; but mosquitoes come close. Opportunity may knock once, but
temptation bangs on the door forever. Some minds are like concrete; thoroughly mixed up and permanently set. He who
angers you, controls you! You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him/her.
“May the most you wish for
be the least you get.”…..Irene

considering that the estates that once lined this spacious boulevard and the surrounding neighborhood read like a Who's Who of
American consumer products. Our next stop will be Chado Tea Room, located in downtown Pasadena, with one of the largest

rd
Visit the 3 Annual Havasu Balloon Festival at Lake Havasu, Arizona where you will view dramatic eye candy in
the sky with delightful balloon ascensions, colorful skydivers and magical balloon glows in the evening dusk.
Day One: Depart Orange County and arrive for 4- nights at the Edgewater Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, NV where
you will check in and enjoy your evening exploring the casino on your own. Day Two: we depart for Kingman, AZ
and a self-guided tour of the “Route 66 Museum” and then a guided tour of the Mohave Museum. After a brief
return to our hotel we will depart at 4:30 pm for the Havasu Balloon Festival to view the “Balloon Glow” As the
evening sun sets, a stunning photographic event will unfold when the Balloons are inflated after dark and left on
the ground to glow like giant Chinese lanterns. This is our fantastic and picturesque "Night Glow." You will enjoy
entertainment, visit food vendors and return to your hotel. Don’t stay up too late because on Day Three: Depart at
6am to see the “Balloon Mass Ascension”. Over 50 balloons will be drifting over The London Bridge. If the winds
are right, you may see the balloons dip their baskets ever so lightly into Lake Havasu for what's called a 'Splash
& Dash', a spectacular sight to see! Once the balloons are inflated and launched, spectators will witness a
photographer's dream - an array of color and beauty. You will have time to visit the festival, purchase lunch on
your own or choose to take a balloon ride before we return to the hotel for an afternoon and evening at leisure. Day

ORANGE COUNTY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS TRAVEL
Billy Elliott @ La Mirada Theatre ~Saturday, January 31, 2015
Family and friends are welcome to join members on this trip!
Billy Elliot the Musical is a musical based on the film Billy Elliot. The unforgettable music is by Elton John, and
the book and lyrics are by Lee Hall, who wrote the film's screenplay. The plot revolves around motherless Billy,
who trades boxing gloves for ballet shoes. The story of his personal struggle and fulfillment are balanced against
a counter-story of family and community strife caused by the UK miners' strike (1984–1985) in County
Durham, in North Eastern England. Filled with sensational choreography and a powerful storyline, in 2008 Billy
Elliot won ten Tony Awards and ten Drama Desk Awards, including, in each case, Best Musical. La Mirada
Theatre for the Performing Arts, now in its fourth decade, has been hailed by the LA Times as "one of the best
Broadway-style houses in Southern California." This beautiful, state-of-the-art theatre has been producing quality
productions for its audiences since 1977 and recently the winner of the Los Angeles Ovation Award for 2012-13
"Best Season of the Year," Prior to the matinee performance you will enjoy a delicious luncheon at North Woods
Inn well known in the area for excellent food and service. Select the entre of your choice, Fish & Chips, Pepper Steak
Sandwich or Corned Beef Sandwich served with chips, beverage and dessert. Your trip includes: Deluxe roundtrip transportation, driver’s gratuity, reserved Orchestra seats performance, lunch, tax & tip included.
Cost: $130 ~ Deadline: December 18, 2014 ~ Depart: 10:30 am ~ Return Approx: 6 pm
