Today is the Northern Mariposa County History Center Gala from 2-5 pm. Still getting over this flu so I will miss it! Noticed the banner on the wall about the gift shop and gold panning now open. Looks like the group has been working hard to keep our history alive. Thank you all for what you do...

Heads up with an upcoming town hall regarding closure of the Coulterville transfer station.

This is from supervisor Shannon Poe...

I am having a town hall meeting on the January 8th in Greeley Hill to discuss with the residents. My plan is to recommend the county subsidize the transfer station and we keep it open.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah! Happy Kwanzea, Bah'ai! However you celebrate today or if you don't, what matters is what you feel in your heart and that doesn't need a holiday to share it. I hope all of you have a wonderful day.

To my Bunco Babes...it is always a special Bunco at Christmas time. Most of you know me and I am game for just about anything...This year's 'Crazy Christmas Bunco' ...well, here I am...Some might ask, "Where did you buy that outfit"? The crazy part is that I own all of these pieces of clothing! Life is crazy, so why not have some fun with it...

Enjoy the day. Hug someone, Tell someone what they mean to you. To all my family, friends and followers that have time to even look at Facebook today, thank you for all you do, for being a part of my life, for making me laugh, for sharing and caring. You are a special gift and I appreciate and love you all.

Good Morning, It is Veteran's Day!

Not that is should be the only day we celebrate or think of our veterans, but today is on the calendar and here is some history from the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs...

The image below is from yesterday. We have a framed picture that we purchased in S.F. from a street artist. Yesterday evening when the sun was setting I turned and saw the sun shining directly on the picture. While my phone camera doesn't do it justice, it did give me the 'goosies' I love our flag!

History of Veterans Day
World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
