And then she had a stroke. This woman that could take shorthand faster than anyone you know could speak or type, run an office, and
out-labryinth lawyers. Who published her church newsletter for years, laboriously laying out strips from a typewriter and placing paper clipart for Photostatting. Tape. Uhuglue stick. Manila folders. Selectrics. I ve seen these finished sheets, and they hold up against Quark Xpress layouts.
And then someone came along while she was in the hospital and installed Windows 98 Second Edition and Office 97 on that poor munged 486sx -25 with 16 megs of ram, somehow managing to mangle the install so badly it took fourty-five minutes from boot to loading Yahoo in Explorer.
La Cañada Flintridge: home to Descanso Gardens, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a healthy stock of hillside homes with commanding views of the city below. Between the houses draped along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains or the larger estates on the south side of the city, it’s hard to go wrong but it’s also hard to find anything for less than $1 million.
Here’s a look at the highest- and lowest-priced homes in La Cañada Flintridge.
High: A dazzling blend of Spanish Colonial Revival and Art Deco style, this 1920s mansion has been expanded over the years to include a pub, theater, gym, sauna and lanai. Throughout the 13,000-square-foot floor plan, one-of-a-kind spaces combine Batchelder tile, barrel ceilings, stained-glass windows and custom art such as a peacock made of colorful tile in the bathroom. Koi ponds, fountains and a swimming pool liven up the grounds outside.
8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; closed Tuesdays
Free entry; please wear a face covering and observe social distancing
The striking Wishing Tree seen in the late fall, and over the holidays, too, at Descanso Gardens?
It was one of the stunning centerpieces of Reflections at Descanso, the La Cañada Flintridge-based garden s serene celebration of the season.
Did you add a hope-filled message to artist Kaz Yokou Kitajima s add-a-wish sculpture? Sweet.
But if you didn t get a chance to contribute a goal, dream, or kind message to the wish-oriented artwork, don t fret or regret.
For January, the month most associated with looking ahead with joy, is not yet over, and there are wishing trees that you can still see, for free, right here in Southern California.
