Sue writes: “My girlfriends and I all learned how to play poker! It really is a fun. We play for M&M’s. Each color has a different value. Seriously, none of us wants to part with real money.” (Click here to see what others have checked off their ‘bucket lists’)
To date, HLOC has raised 63% of their fundraising goals to help bring their S.P.A.C.E., a multigenerational performing arts education center, to our rural community. This is a first time effort for our area and it promises to offer great resources, classes, and opportunities for residents of all ages. There’s still time to help them reach their goal.

When my husband retired, he had a number of projects in mind. First off? He attacked the back third of our one acre lot and managed to clear away all of the fence-to-fence blackberry bushes that had been growing for decades. Next, since it had always been the low corner where water collected all winter, we decided to try for …
Dear Tracey, This is a grim letter to write but I feel I must. I need advice from someone outside of my family. My mother, a widow for the last 15 years, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

I don’t know about you but I can’t seem to keep up with all of the reading I want to do. My nightstand is piled high with different books and darn if I didn’t just download another one to my e-reader. Sometimes I have a few going at the same time … which I don’t recommend. A friend mentions a …
I have to be honest, I approached this post believing I would simply be encouraging you to explore wherever you live during what can be a couple of bleak winter months … weather permitting! In my last post, I gave you plenty of examples of ‘things to do” here where I live in northern California; Humboldt County to be exact. …
Stephanie writes: “It’s a brand new year and one I’m not going to forget. It’s been nearly forty years since I graduated from high school and next week I will become a first time college student. I’m really nervous but I’ll just take it one day at a time and hope I do okay. This has been on my Bucket …
Do you remember that television show from the fifties, “The Millionaire”? A polite man would arrive at a stranger’s door and award them one million dollars. The generous benefactor he represented always insisted on anonymity. The recipients were shocked, some thoroughly confused. Most did not believe their good fortune.
