    Making a macaroni necklace....
    Where have all the macaroni necklaces gone?
    By Christy Rasmussen Ford • February 20, 2015 3:40 pm

    Back when I was a kid, I really hated when old people started sentences with “Back when I was a kid.” Now that I’m old, I start at least 66.67 percent of my sentences with this phrase and I don’t care what

    A few days from today would have been my grandma’s 77th birthday. In her memory, I’d like to share the following story:

    The Dirt on Chinook
    By Christy Rasmussen Ford • January 9, 2015 7:07 pm

    I am a huge fan of Chinook Pharmacy. I’m not just saying that to get a personal parking spot right in front either. If a reserved parking spot is offered as a “tip” for speaking highly of them, that would be OK, too,

    The Real Forks Night before Christmas
    By Christy Rasmussen Ford • December 24, 2014 3:11 pm

    ’Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town
    The businesses in Forks (except 76) were all closed down
    The decorations were hung down main street with flair

    Top Ten Things You Didn’t Know About Forks (but can read on the Internet)
    Top Ten Things You Didn’t Know About Forks...
    By Christy Rasmussen Ford • December 10, 2014 2:34 pm

    10. Forks doesn’t get that much rain. Found on an online blog on the subject of Forks, “As someone told me who ACTUALLY lives in Forks, WA, it doesn’t actually rain there very often.” Seriously?

    Second annual, Thanksgiving-ish, “What I’m Thankful For” column
    By Christy Rasmussen Ford • December 2, 2014 2:20 pm

    10. I am thankful for all of the power outages that remind me to not take electricity or hot water for granted. My customers however, are not thankful for my lack of showers on these days that I am without hot water.

    Forks: Not As Scary As Tacoma
    Forks: Not As Scary As Tacoma
    By Christy Rasmussen Ford • November 21, 2014 6:06 pm

    A list recently came out naming the most crime-filled places in Washington. Tacoma was voted the crimiest. This came as a complete shock to absolutely no one, with the exception of maybe some of the residents of Aberdeen who thought they had it in the bag this year. Aberdeen is scary, but not like Tacoma.

    Mascotting FES Part II
    Mascotting FES Part II
    By Christy Rasmussen Ford • November 13, 2014 12:15 pm

    The school district is asking for input on mascotting the intermediate school, or as I like to call it, “Forks Elementary School, Part II”. At first I wondered why the students at FES Part II weren’t just allowed to pick the mascot that they wanted. Then I remembered what happened the last time the kids were allowed to choose their own mascot; 9 months later, we got the Puddle Jumpers.

    Broken Promises
    By Christy Rasmussen Ford • November 7, 2014 4:24 pm

    A while back I was at the police station. Just to set the record straight, I did not arrive handcuffed in the back of a police car. I was there on my own free will … and no, not turning myself in either.
