Do you know someone who is looking for affordable preschool here in the Temecula Valley? I tell everyone I know about the FANTASTIC and very affordable Temecula Parks & Rec class Little Learners (held at Harveston), but they book up fast (even with a waiting list.) Now there is something new: a preschool class at Fitwize called Terrific Tots. It's for 3-5 year olds and is two days a week (9:30-12:30) for $150/month. Contact Fitwize at 676-KIDS for more info.

Friday the 13th plus snow?...They say we are due for real snow again this winter (or so the 5th graders in my neighborhood tell me.) I don't know the odds on that, but a sure thing is The Promenade Mall's holiday kickoff celebration featuring Santa and snow. Check out all the details at www.promenadeintemecula.com.
And while you're at the mall...check out the grand opening on Friday, November 13, of paint-your-own-pottery store Paint a Dream, located next to Pottery Barn.

IT'S FUNNY 'CAUSE IT'S TRUE...Thanks to East Coast Tipster Cate for sending me this blog post (check out the last line for where the guy is moving to next.)
TRY THE CHERRY LIMEADE...Midwestern cult fave Sonic has a third Riv Co location. Yup, the Murrieta Hot Springs Road (just west of Margarita) location is NOW OPEN. (Other county locations are in Hemet and out in the desert in Cathedral City.) My mom and dad ate at a 50s vintage Sonic on an architectural driving tour that included Tulsa, Oklahoma. (Mom got a small sundae and Dad got a Diet Coke. I say they missed the boat! Everyone says the thing to get is the cherry limeade.)Eclectic Books owner Tess, whose shop shares a parking lot with Sonic, was spotted trying the tots.
STORMY WEATHER...A winter storm is blowing into town today with rain predicted for Monday (10/12) night. They say a year with many Daddy Longlegs (aka "Harvestman") spiders means a rainy fall and winter. Have YOU seen more spiders than usual? I know we have. Do black widows count?
DID WE JUST GET DISSED?...Check out a blogger's take on attending the Temecula Valley International Film Festival on the Focus On....page. Hey, at least they know where Temecula is, right? (Thank you, Sir, may I have another?)
VEGAS-STYLE GLAM...long-awaited Old Town hot spot The Edge is finally open. Fun, fun, fun. Temecula really doesn't have another restaurant quite like this. It would be a perfect spot for a date, girls' night out, or even an over-the-top proposal. Check it out!
COUNTRY WINE WEDDINGS....The Knot honoree Ponte is offering a 33% discount on winter weddings for up to 100 guests. Think snow-capped mountains and pleasantly cool temps on Ponte's beautiful grounds. Check out this and other deals at Ponte's site.

TICKLED ORANGE....Tangerine Boutique (41377 Margarita, in Bel Villagio on the outer ring of the Promenade Mall) won "Best Boutique in Murrieta/Temecula Valley" in a recent My Fox LA viewer poll. Congratulations! (And next time you're at Tangerine, check out Anela Apothecary next door (featuring an in-store studio & shop of local jeweler Tina Steinberg.) Don't drive to LA or Orange County! We have fantastic shopping right here in town.
FARMER'S MARKET PARADISE....We are lucky to have so many to choose from! I recently learned about the Bonsall Certified Farmer's Market on Sundays from 9:30 to 1:30 located at the Bonsall Community Center & Elementary School. Now Fallbrook is getting into the action on Sundays with a half-day market beginning September 6. Fallbrook Town Center Certified Farmer's Market is in the Caffe Primo parking lot on Main Street in downtown Fallbrook. Beginning on September 6 it will be held Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekly, year round.
NESTING...and while you're at the Promenade Mall , see if you can spot the bird's nest in the "R" of the Sears sign (near Sears Auto Center.) This thing is amazing, and very sturdy. We first spotted it about six months ago and it's going strong.

Here's what their menu looked like a few days ago. There's lots of tea too, of course.
ROLLING, ROLLING, ROLLING...Have you ridden the Temecula Trolley yet?! Free rides started this weekend. The story is that this trolley service, which links up Harveston to the Promenade Mall and Old Town, was part of a deal the Harveston developers made with the city to help alleviate traffic.
The trolley is free at least through the end of this year. It sounds like a lot of fun so check it out! Trolley signs are up on Ynez near the car dealerships. Next time your car is being serviced at DCH or Paradise you can trolley on over to Old Town. Check out the complete schedule and route map here.
SO MANY SPAS, SO LITTLE TIME...Walking through Old Town we were intrigued by the lovely remodeled exterior of the Old Town Temecula Salon & Day Spa (41925 Third Street, in Old Town just east of Front Street.) This is near the new location of Old Town favorite Sweet Lumpy's BBQ (now at 41915 Third Street.)

SCHEDULED for June 20: the perfect pre-Father's Day activity! Dads and kids can attend a workshop together at the Rose Haven Heritage Garden (30592 Jedediah Smith Road, 677-0028 for info.)

It's really lovely.

The Paws to Read program is available at the library on Pauba Road on Saturday mornings (call 693-8980 to schedule a time.) Kids make themselves comfortable and enhance their skills by reading to a non-judgmental friend: a licensed therapy dog.

I saw that Sweet Lumpy's was empty last time I was driving through Old Town and I'm glad it's sticking around. Krista also reports that the new fruit market on Old Town Front Street is open and looks quaint. If anyone has checked it out, report back! Thanks for the tips, Tipster Krista!
* SIT...STAY...GOOD DOG! Local supermom & dog expert Andi Albright presents Good Dog Training Academy. (If Freshmen learn Sit, Stay, and Down, I cannot even imagine what a Nursery School class looks like! Andi is patient.)
* WALKIN' THE DOG: Diane Powers of Diane's Doggies offers dog (and other critters) sitting and walking in Temecula/Murrieta as well as neighboring areas. She comes to her clients' homes plus she offers boarding at her own acreage. Check out the pictures of her satisfied doggie friends on her site.

Seen/Scene June 12, 2009
* SPOTTED popping into Kids Care Club - Betty, owner of CC & Company Costume Shop (I still like to call them C & C Costume Factory so I can sing "Sweat!" by C & C Music Factory while I shop) to promote their Saturday, June 20 (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) charity event. Donate your clean used kids' costumes to Discovery Arts, a nonprofit which uses the costumes to help kids in the hospital. Bring in a costume & get a goodie bag featuring items from Chick-fil-A, Mulligan, and more (plus face painting, balloons, and more.
Vanity plates SPOTTED!
* outside perpetually-packed Yogurt Island on Temecula Parkway (79 South): QLTKRZY (could this be the owner of Temecula Quilt Co.?)
* cruising along Ynez in a gorgeous Jaguar - A(HEART)ESOME (she did look pretty darned awesome)
* speeding past March Air Reserve Base - this guy probably doesn't even live in Temecula, but I love his plate so much I had to relate it here - 2B23AGN
