     Judy Ball entertained sixty-plus friends at her newly completed home in the Haciendas that offers a fantastic view of the lake and mountains. Situated high in the rolling terrain, when the white clouds began rolling in, one felt as if it were almost possible to reach up and touch them. A generous hostess, good food and good friends enjoying a gorgeous Ajijic July day was the order of the day.
