A little background on why I named this blog what I did.

I should probably do a little explaining on my title of this blog. First my last name is White. Therefore I live in the "White House." Living in the "White House" makes me the 1st Lady. My physical address says I live in Westwood Ca. (not the one by Los Angeles) but a little mountain town in Northeastern Ca. However I really live in a section out of Westwood known as Pinetown. With all the joking going on between my friends, I inevitably became Pinetowns 1st Lady living in the "White House." With all that said, this is just going to be a more personal blog of my life here in Westwood/Pinetown. My family and friends being a big part of it.
Originally I really wanted to take a picture a day for one year and post it on this blog. Perhaps like a photo diary. My life though is quite quiet and perhaps is not photo worthy for a picture a day but I plan on trying. So why not hop in and take a ride with me through little mountain town U.S.A. You may just love it as much as I do!

Senior Citizen Club

This building is at the end of Birch street in Westwood and I can't think of the name of the cross street. (That's weird, I don't know why. LOL!) Anyhow this is our Senior Center. This is a wonderful place for our seniors of this community. They have arts and crafts for them. A place to eat lunches.
  Its a great place for the seniors to get to visit with one another. Besides that they have BINGO in the evening of one night a week. This is not for just seniors only I hear. I have been invited to go and I plan on doing so. We have SOOOO many wonderful seniors in our town.

This building also doubles as a place for commodities for our needy once a month.

And I believe this is where they make the meals for meals on wheels in our town. A welcomed and needed service.  I can not say enough about the wonderful things this center does for our community. When the doors are open the parking lot is always full, even in our rough winters.

 
  
 




Another failed dream

This building is on the corner of  Birch and Third. It has had so many owners and housed so many different things. The last was the Burger Barn. I remember another that was called "Sandwitches" (yes, it was spelled that way. I and my hubby both seem to recall it was an ice cream shop once. But whatever it was nobody seemed to last therer long, that I can recall. For a town that only has a Pizza Parlor and a cafe, you would think a hamburger joint would make it. Never did. So my post for today is another empty dream of a building from all those that tried.
 
  
  
  
I just noticed on this sign it says "The other Place" so perhaps this was the name of the last place that tried to make it here.

Buffalo Chips

Buffalo Chips pizza. What a name and what a place. A favorite of us locals and visitors alike. I have been to many a pizza parlor in my day, but there is not a one that can compare to Buffalo Chips! Been here also for as long as I can remember.
If you ever stop in Westwood, this restaurant is about at the top of the list of must see's as our local lake.
For an UNFORGETTABLE sandwich, you must try their beefy cheese supreme! You will not be dissappointed!
 
Across the street from Young's market on Birch street in Westwood.
 
  
They serve ice cold beer.
  
This is also a favorite to throw children's birthday parties at. You just simply can not go wrong here with the food or the help!

Westwood Fire Department

Westwood Fire Department located in the heart of Westwood. Across the street from the Sheriffs Dept. on the corner of Third and Birch streets.As long as I have been living here (30 years) I believe it has always been here. It's a great little fire department . It's little size should not be confused with the gigantic job these ladies and gentlemen firefighters do for our little town!





 
  
  
  
Yup, our little firehouse does one helluva job!!!

View Larger Map This is where I live. To the right of Westwood barely visible is the little section I live in called Pinetown. We have probably 150 to 200 people for our population. Westwood on the other hand is HUGE by comparison with a population of around 2000!
