Happy New Year 2025 | North Lake Tahoe

By

Happy New Year 2025 | North Lake Tahoe     

A new day, a new year, and another year in the history books!  Hello 2025!

Bringing in 2025 means we are now half way through another decade!  So many changes, and yet so many things stay the same.  A lot of joy and sadness wrapped up into just tweleve short months.  

As each year passes, my gratitude and appreciation for seeing old friends, making new relationships, and for having the opportunity to have new experiences and adventures grows in my heart. 

I value the past as I move forward into each new day, but I still struggle with how time doesn’t stop for anyone!

Today is January 1, 2026, and just like, another new year has already begun!

As you make your plans and set your goals for the upcoming new year, and beyond, be sure to make time for the activities, things, and tasks that really matter to you.  Stop and cherish the moments that you’ll look back on as “the good old days”, which are the days you are living through today!  

The sun rose at 7:20 a.m. here in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Tahoe City – Truckee, California area on January 1, 2025. 

Sunshine with day time temperatures in the low 40’s with little to some snow on the ground.  A big change from the holiday week in 2021, just three years ago, which left us with multiple fee of snow!

The days are still very short and with only 9 hours and 30 minutes of daylight before the sunset at 4:49 p.m.!

It is my New Year’s wish that every day in 2025 brings you prosperity, healthy days, laughter, joy, and a reason to celebrate!  

Where ever the road in life takes you this year, I hope your travel and journey will be a safe one!

Happy New Year!

Leap Year – February 29 2024 – North Lake Tahoe

By

Leap Year – February 29 2024 – North Lake Tahoe

It’s hard to believe that another four years has slipped by!

In 2020, I was excited about the extra day, and I was having fun and enjoying a new decade!

Little did I know that is less than thirty days, life as we had known it would be upended and forever changed.

Yes, the pandemic would be front and center and little things like going to the coffee shop would become the highlight of our day, even if it meant wearning a mask, gloves, and standing more than six feet away from the next person in line!

So here we are again Leap Year – February 29, 2024 – North Lake Tahoe!  What will you do with your extra day?

How will you make this extra day count?  So may possibilities, so many things to do, or will it be just another day for you?  

Sometime late last year I realized that 2024 would be a Leap Year.  Yes this happens every fours year, and if you live to be 100, that means get 25 leap days through-out your life time, that doesn’t seem like a lot, when you think about it that way, which means making the most out of the leap days you get in life should be a priority.

When I did my math, I realized that each leap year I now enjoy is really more special than the last.  

My plan for today is not really a new one, but I do hope to turn my extra day into a memorable one!

We’ll have dinner out, and check out the Lake Tahoe Alpenglow at sunset tonight if the storm hasn’t blocked it out.  We’ll toast our day together.  That’s the plan if it isn’t a blizzard snow storm tonight.

Sure it’s a simple plan, to make something special does not require a complicated plan.  We’re at a point in lives where we’re happy to just enjoy what we have around us every day and toast good health and happiness to each other! 

If we have to make our champagne toast inside, and eat at home, we’re okay with that plan too!  The point is to acknowledge that we’ve gotten an extra day, and we should appreciate it!

Two Leap Year’s ago, we started writing down our hopes, dreams, goals – you know a mini-bucket list of things we’d like to do before the next Leap Year arrives.  

This will be our second time opening up our lists from four years ago, and seeing what we did, what we didn’t do, and what each other had hoped to enjoy,

It will be fun to read our sealed notes from February 29, 2020 and we’ll see how we did. 

Craig (my better half in life) finds it impressive that I remember where I stored these sealed note cards from four years ago, and he’s not wrong, finding those cards is challenging!

We’ll make new mini-bucket list cards, and we’ll seal them up and then in four years from now on February 29, 2028 we’ll open them up and see what the other one wanted to do, and which ones we did complete on the list!  

The adventure in life is the journey.  My wish for  anyone reading this post is that your next four years be filled with fun, joy, good health, and safe travels! 

How will you spend your extra day, Leap Year – February 29, 2024?

Happy Leap Day!

Free Hazardous Trash Waste North Lake Tahoe – Truckee | 2024

By

Free Hazardous Trash Waste North Lake Tahoe – Truckee | 2024

Do you have old  cleaners, medications, pesticides, oil filters, paint, auto fludis, batteries, or other questional items stored in your North Lake Tahoe – Truckee home? 

Thinking of selling and getting your place ready to sell and have some of these items around your property that you’ll need to get rid of?

Did you know that for several years in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area we have a FREE hazardous Waste Drop-Off event every third (3rd) Saturday of each month, and this program will continue all year long in 2024!

If you have cans of paint (latex and/or oil based), stain, or varnish stored in your North Lake Tahoe – Truckee home, condo, or business that you’d like to throw away they will take those items.

If you miss the third Saturday of each month, remember that Mountain Hardward Stores in Truckee, will take up to five (5) gallons each day from you, so you have more than one option to get rid of old paint products in our area!

In our home, our cabinets are filled with old, mostly empty cleaning product bottles/containers.

I’m always finding old medications, along with over-the-counter medications that we just don’t use any more.  We also have a number of old dog medications.

Like many people, I’ve held onto the item because there is just enough in there to not toss it in the garbage, but they quickly become old, so I always seem to have items to get rid of.

At some point, you know you just need to purge and get rid of the left-over cleaning products and other unwanted items.

You know you shouldn’t just put the items with left-over product in the everyday trash bin, so after a while you’ve accumulated a dozen cleaning containers with just a small amount of product in each one.

How do you get rid of hazardous trash-waste in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area, and do it responsibly?  

Our local agencies make it easy for us to get rid of this toxic trash and to do it the right way. 

On the third Saturday of each month the Materials Recovery Facility at 900 Cabin Creek Road (located off Highway 89 S) will take in a number of different types of toxic waste items – for FREE!   

All you have to do is call ahead at 530.583.7800 for an appointment to drop your items off.  Sometimes they offer additional dates, you never know until you call.

What will they take?

  • Paint  – Don’t want to go to the dump, or be limited to the third Saturday of each month? 
    • Did you know that Mountain Hardware in Truckee will take up to 5 gallons (1 – five gallon container, or 5 one gallon containers) each day (any day they are open) from you for FREE! 

This paint is sorted and if it can be used it is donated.  Otherwise it is dumped into a huge mixer and the paint comes out a grayish color that the State of California uses on their buildings and other items that need to be painted.  A cool way to recycle and get rid of old paint!

  • Cleaners
  • Auto Fluids
  • Oil Filters
  • Medications (prescribed, or over-the-counter)
  • Pesticides

Here are the details:
