Mornings with the One Percent™ Will Return to Our Daily Schedule on Wednesday!

Posted by: thepinetree on 03/18/2024 11:59 AM
Arnold, CA…Mornings with the One Percent™ is live weekday mornings. The premise for the show is that the USDA ranked all 3,142 counties or county equivalents in the USA on a livability or desirability scale based on factors such as climate, scenic beauty, bodies of water for recreation, humidity and much more. All of our area ranked not only in the top one percent but in the top one half of one percent. So in the ups and downs of daily life remember you don’t have to be a Gates, Buffett or Bezos to live like the one percent. Just live here!

A Bit of Wisdom from St. Patrick

Posted by: thepinetree on 03/17/2024 09:30 PM
Downpatrick, Northern Ireland...March 17, St. Patrick's Day is traditionally recognized as the day of his death. He was a fifth century missionary, bishop & Patron Saint of Ireland.



"Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me."

"I am Patrick, a sinner, most uncultivated and least of all the faithful and despised in the eyes of many."

"I have a Creator who knew all things, even before they were made - even me, his poor little child."

"He who believes shall be saved, but he who does not believe shall be damned. God has spoken."

"The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelieving heart, so that I should recall my sins."

"The Lord is greater than all: I have said enough."

Sender’s Market Weekly Ad & Grocery Specials Through March 19th! Shop Local & Save!!

Posted by: thepinetree on 03/17/2024 08:01 PM
Mountain Ranch, CA…In 1950, we started out as a family operation with Erich’s father and mother, August and Freida Sender, in a century-old adobe building. The upstairs was home to the Sender family, and the first floor included groceries, a meat market, a bar, and a small eating place called Opa’s Smokehouse. On Christmas morning in 1968, the old store was destroyed by fire. But in June 1969, Sender’s Market, Inc. was opened. Since that time, there have been many changes, including remodeling, expansion, and the addition of many employees. That’s also when we added the truss plant and purchased Sender’s Market Ace Hardware in Valley Springs. Today, we’re still family owned and still working hard to stock everything from pantry essentials to power tools. Whether you’ve got questions about the perfect cut of meat or the right kind of paint, our helpful, knowledgeable staff has you covered. Click on images below for larger versions
