In this Winter Issue of Beyond the Acorn, we are doing something different, devoting a whole section to the topic of weddings. We peek inside three real weddings and take a few minutes to focus on a couple of the details that make a wedding sweet—flowers and cakes.
For readers who may be planning a special day, we’ve done a lot of the legwork for you, providing a comprehensive guide to local venues.
We also spend some time with Joey Herrick, a fascinating man who has devoted a lot of his life to the well-being of dogs and cats. You might know him as the force behind the Gnarly Crankin’ K-9 Wave Maker. What, you’ve never seen a surfing dog? You’ve definitely got to take a look at this.
We also venture up Highway 101 to Santa Barbara, our bejeweled neighbor to the north. She’s always been a gracious and lovely city. And now, with several new places to visit, she’s even more inviting.
As always, it’s such a pleasure to bring this magazine to you. Hope you enjoy what we have to offer!
