Return from Tahoe

You are all lucky that blogger only lets us upload 5 pictures at a whack, otherwise I'd be sharing my whole photo collection with you of my recent get away! How can you possible narrow down a long weekend and condense it into five pictures for show and tell?!? No fair! Not when you have gorgeous pictures like this stream from all the snow (oh yes...there is still snow in May) from the Sierra Mountains. Of course, like we all say, the pictures don't do it justice. The roar of the river, the smell of the pine trees, sunshine on your face....life is good!

Had a great time with my family. We ate, drank, cooked, crafted, played cribbage, scrabble (Here's proof that someone in the group is a blogger!), shopped, went for drives, gambled, laughed, told stories, watched sunrises and sunsets and RELAXED.

Here is the gang...my nephew Aaron (getting married in January), my wonderful Mommy Mary, sister Barbara, sister Janet and niece Julie (okay, I'll admit it, it was Julie that got the scrabble word"BLOG"). My sister Janet wanted me to clarify for the records (since before I left on my last post I stated Barbara was the "Scrabble Queen") that it was Janet that had the HIGHEST score this go around!

My beautiful niece Julie...take a good look at the slot machine, because that's the kind of luck we all had, except Barbara, who consistently wins...darn her!!!

This is a view of Lake Tahoe...it's not as clear as I wish it was, but oh....that's right...I was hanging my camera out the car window, looking down the shear drop (did I mention I'm scared of heights????), while Julie was trying to get us to our destination because we were the last ones to arrive, cell phones were ringing, so...I guess under the circumstances it was okay!

Always good to be back home in the comfort of your own bed with your favorite pillow and husband! Kansas is emerald green right now, all the trees have their leaves and my azalea's bloomed when I came home...what a nice welcome!~ Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day! I can't wait to catch up on what you all have been up to!
