A Wee Bit of Spring Break

Posted on April 29, 2021Author DirectorCategories Letters from Lead Posts

Good Morning! This last weekend our little family took a trip to Ohio to see some good friends that used to live in Lead. We haven’t been on vacation since before the baby was born so it was nice to get out and go somewhere, even for a quick trip. I asked our friends what … Continue reading A Wee Bit of Spring Break

Happy Day! A few weeks ago at a city commission meeting a complex issue came up (what is was I can’t remember) but one of the commissioners asked, “What if we set a precedent that we later regret?” The mayor had a good come back, “We can always change it.” My friend’s company is undergoing … Continue reading Go Ahead and Try

About Letters From Lead

Hello! I write letters from Lead every Wednesday (the normal schedule but sometimes it deviates). I write about things I love about our town, thoughts on life here, and random musings. I also include what’s going on in Lead and the immediate vicinity, with general notes on events and happenings.

If you’d like to subscribe to future emails you can sign up here. If you have recently signed up and want to just read the letter portion it’s included below for you. Events and happenings have been omitted from these letters.

-Leigha, Director
