Yesterday was full of exercise, I'm not kidding. We started off the day at Meeks Bay. We "launched" the kayak at the beach and paddled our way around the shore checking out beautiful lake homes and water so clear you could see the bottom. I'm not sure there is anything more beautiful than Lake Tahoe. Of course there is, but I just can't think of what that might be. We enjoyed about 2 hours out in the kayak, it was so fun and relaxing. I told Roger he could just row and I'd read and relax, however, I didn't bring a book so we both paddled around. We loaded up the kayak after a brief rest and headed to Vikingsholm at Emerald Bay. We hiked down the one mile road to the Vikingsholm. Talk about a gorgeous setting, Lora Knight build this home in the early 1900's and it is a Scandinavian design although she was English, she loved the architecture. We took the tour, loved it, couldn't believe some of the things in the kitchen....my collectibles!!!!! After our tour, we had to hike the one mile back up to the road, it was quite a hike but we did it....we felt we had our fill of exercise so stopped at McDonald's for ice cream....great day!!!!

Lake Tahoe Vacation September 2009

We arrived here in South Lake Tahoe on Friday, thrilled that the weather was gorgeous and our site is perfect. We set up our trailer and then headed down to Stateline to walk around and ended up at our new favorite place, The Red Hut for ice cream. We ordered Baby Bear size and it was huge!!!!! Saturday we took a walk to get a newspaper, ran into Raley's and Kmart, drove down by Camp Rich to find the Pope-Baldwin bike path. We went to see Julie & Julia, cute movie, had lunch at Chevy's and came back to our chairs. Today, we walked to Ernie's for breakfast, came back, I cleaned the trailer, Roger enjoyed his paper. We (actually Roger) loaded up our bikes and we headed down to the Pope bike path. Oh my gosh, it was gorgeous, we rode past Camp Richardson, to the Tallac Historical Site and roamed back there enjoying the Pope Estate, the Baldwin Estate, and the beautiful views of Lake Tahoe. Had a coffee drink at "Camp Rich" sat on the porch watching the people go by and generally had a peaceful day. Tomorrow we are off to Reno to do some shopping.....until then....:)

Its spring time already, where does the time go. I always thought that as we grow older we would have more time to do all the things we want to do...NOT!!!!! Lately, I feel like we've been on a speed track and can't get caught up. What, do you say, have we been doing...I'm totally clueless. We had a wonderful Easter at Diane's. we had 23 members of our family for a delicious dinner served by Diane and Dennis, a great Easter egg hunt, and lots of family fun.



A few weeks ago, Roger and I headed up to Tahoe overnight. We had a great time, our room had a wonderful view of Lake Tahoe, what a beautiful sight...we rode the gondola up to Heavenly, oh my gosh I had no clue what was on the other side of the mountain...more mountains and skiers, lots of skiers.



We will be heading up to Sunriver this Friday for a week of vacation, can't wait to enjoy Oregon and see some friends.



Jeff is recovering from cellulitis, it was kind of scary, his leg looked awful, he's off of work until Monday taking care of himself. He's lucky to have Krissy home this week to help him. I'm sure Cooper is right in there too...taking care of Dad, in case you don't know, Cooper is their darling boxer...one of our cute granddogs.



Just in case no one could figure it out, those 2 darling girls at the top of our blog are our sweet granddaughters...aren't they just so cute!!!

Hapy Spring!!

It's Christmas Time

Oh my gosh where does the time go, Roger and I are down here in Pismo enjoying the pre-Christmas activities with the Harrisons. We are very fortunate in that its been cool but beautiful sunny days. Kamryn was in her preschool program on Friday and we were thrilled to get to be here for that. She, however, was not, was struck with stage fright, crumbled to Mommy in silent tears...but never fear Rylee jumped up and filled in for her. It was absolutely darling. She not only performed with the class, she then wanted to toddle into the 4 year old class for cirlce time. That was not to be, and out she came letting us know she was not happy about that. Tomorrow night is the big sleep over, they will both come to Grandma and Papa's trailer and spend the night with includes playing in the shower, brushing their teeth alot, and lots of snuggling. Jeff and Kris arrive Christmas Eve so we will all be together for Christmas, what could be better!!!! Well, gotta run, off to dinner with the kids!!!
