Santa Paula

Santa Paula, such a cute, quaint little town. My father in law, now passed away,
grew up in Santa Paula, and recalled his mother getting him out of bed and
the family, rushing uphill away from the dam that had just broke. Every year in October the city has their "Ghost Walk" we went 12 years in a row, we loved it
that much. The first walk we went on, with my father in law,  I believe it was the second walk. They had profiled the home that he grew up in. After patiently
listening to the ghost, he was so proud and enthusiastic to share his memories with
our host and the other participants. It was so cute to see this shy, humble man
so excited. I do miss him.

  1. Hello and thank you for the kind words left on my blog page. I'm very familiar with your area as I lived in Simi Valley from 1974 through 1982. My favorite daughter-in-law (sadly ex now) lives in Ventura, We remain friends and for that I am very happy. Your Santa Paula photo is very nice. Brought back memories from long ago What a sweet sleepy little town it was. I hope it still is. Have a most wonderful week.
