LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I looked at more terrible YouTube videos this morning than you can possib1y imagine, looking for something to post for July 4.

A drunken driver who hurt three people in downtown Redding on New Year’s Eve hit-and-run has been sentenced to 27 years in state prison.

WEAVERVILLE -- The Rotary Club of Weaverville will hold its annual Chinese New Year Celebration to observe the coming of the Chinese year 4706, the Year of the Rat.

I tried to blog on Saturday and couldn't really think of anything substantial to write. I'm clearly out of practice. So to tide you and me over, I'm going to spread a little Letterman love. That's not a bad thing.Below are a couple of Top Ten lists from the good days, back when Letterman was on NBC and was genui

We had a fair share and it is definately hanging around for a few days this time. The guys have been dutifully keeping the road clear, (even if I suspect that they rather enjoy it), and my Hubby has gone to work!

I thought I was well on my way to recovery from the crud I developed over New Year's, but then the coughing came back with a vengeance. I took cough syrup which let me sleep, but when I headed out to work this morning, I found I was not focusing and mentally fuzzy - then the coughing started again. Turned around and came ho

We went Snowboarding / Skiing on New Year's Day ( Sean , Mackenzie, and Dad). I already know how to ski, so I thought I would take a snow boarding lesson with Mackenzie. (BIG MISTAKE- Not really)Sean can already Snow Board very well. Well, I took the lesson and then 1 hour later, I turned in my snowboard and exchanged

Can you imagine what life was like a hundred years ago?So much has taken place in our world in 100 years. Here are some interesting statistics for the year 1908:*The American Flag had only 45 stars*The average wage in 1907 was 22 cents per hour*Only 8% of the homes

Happy New Year and all that! Well, I'm back, but under the weather. I'll re-gain my sense of humor once I can breathe through my nose. Stay tuned! Apologies for this extended blogging holi-daze.

Welcome to a new year, P&P blogophiles. Not sure what, if anything, I have in the way of resolutions for the new year.
