If you go to the Scotts Valley Chamber of Commerce website, scottsvalleychamber.com, look under Scotts Valley, scroll down to the bottom and click on Historical Society, you will see a wonderful history of the Scott House. The history was written by Jan Bowman in 1977 as part of an unpublished Master’s thesis at San JoseUniversity.

The holiday season just wouldn’t be complete without a day spent with the Felton Christmas Wreath Makers at their annual get together at Barb’s house. Many of us who are regulars were anxious to get started. We arrived at midmorning eager to dig into the various piles of wreath-making greens graciously supplied by Barb and her husband, Reggie. We all shared stories and some laughs over glasses of sparkling cider or Champagne and French pastries.

The holiday season is here with all the celebrations and indulgences that go along with it. It’s important to appreciate and partake in the joy of the season, yet at the same time be mindful of the not-so-jolly effects all of our celebrating can have on our health.
