HISTORY OF THE ROSE PARADE - 12/28/08 10:33 PM
 
            The annual Rose Parade and Rose Bowl football game is an all-American tradition on New Year's Day.  Long before the radio was invented much less the TV in 1890, members of the Pasadena's Valley Hunt Club wanted to celebrate the mild winter weather in California where roses were still in bloom in January.  They were eager to tell the world about their paradise.  These were people from the East and Midwest who moved to California and discovered the nice mild winter weather in Pasadena.  Dr. Charles Frederick Holder declared at a club meeting that "In New York, people are … (4 comments)

WHITE CHRISTMAS IN OYSTER BAY - 12/21/08 04:27 PM
 

With all the snow in the ground and more snow forecast next week, chances are we are going to have a White Christmas.   It really feels like Christmas when there is snow on the ground.   Look at my viburnum tree in front of my house.  It has a pyramidal shape and it is my outside Christmas tree.  One year, we put white Christmas lights along the branches.  It took us 20 sets of lights to cover the whole tree.  We kept the lights for three years.  One spring when it was covered with white flowers, we turned on the … (10 comments)
