“I love England and antiques,” said Betty Rule, owner of Truffles and Lace Tea Parlour. “I think I was born in the wrong era.” It is fortunate for those who enjoy tea that Betty was born in our era because she has established an amazing Victorian tea parlour in Old Town Temecula. The building at 28410 Old Town Front Street, Suite 111, has been transformed with rose and white as the dominant colors. An elaborate fireplace provides a focal point.

FALLBROOK — Our first Pet of the Week is “Chaz,” a 13-year-old applehead Chihuahua weighing 6 lbs. Chaz is a wonderful senior dog looking for a nice, quiet lap to sit on. Neglected and abused at a puppy mill, where he never felt the sun shine outside of his cage, it took us an hour to get him to come to us, at first. He now greets us with a bark and a wiggle, ears straight up. You’d never know he’s a senior, as he can hold his own with the other dogs. He’s patient and tolerant with young children, but we’d like to see him “re...

Until more of an effort is made to require that landscapers and the nurseries who sell to them conform to area licensing laws and requirements, this type of activity will continue. It is almost impossible to trace the unlicensed “contractors,” many of whom work for cash only. Though I suspect not limited to them, builders, etc. finishing out their large housing developments are not as careful as they might be and/or are willing to take the risk to improve their bottom line, hire these smaller landscape companies who are wil...
