Driving to Yosemite, Tahoe, Reno (And Back)

29 Tuesday Aug 2006

I love Lake Tahoe and Reno. I don’t go that often (really). I know. Doesn’t that sound like something a gambling addict would say.

“I don’t go very often. Just Wednesday through Tuesday”.

But, really, I go about 4 times a year. I was sitting around thinking it would be nice to take a mini vacation so I did. Rob would love to go on these little serenity junkettes with me, but I know he had things to do around the house. He starts school next week, so he’s feverishly working on house projects.

Besides, when I go for a drive.. I go for a DRIVE. I went to Reno via Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. I was gone the whole weekend and put about 750 miles on my car. Crazy I know. Actually in the end, I think I’d just hang out in Reno. I know it seems sort of .. less glamorous than Lake Tahoe, but there’s more to do (I’m not into hiking, other than to the mall).

Some random thing happened on the way home. I was driving outside of reno, I think it’s called Elko. And, came across a stranded motorist. He was driving from Fallon Nevada (No Where) to Sacramento. Oh my gosh, it was my friend Rick from the S&C Fellowship. I was all. Nuh uh. How weird is that. He was stuck without a jack, so the one from my car fit his Ford, and he was changed – off and running in no time. How’s that for a higher coincidence?

So with the Reno conference coming up next week (see link above), I think I’ll have another opportunity to hit that fabulous Price is Right slot that kicked my ass. I’ll be the next contestant, come on down, or I ain’t leavin.

(oops. That sounded like something a gambling addict would say)

ciao.

I Don’t See It

I’m looking at this story in the news about this aparition of the Virgin Mary in a chocolate factory. It seems some of the chocolate dripped and created this little statuette but, I’m not seeing anything holy about it. Hmm. I’m either blind or jaded… but I hope it brings her tremendous happiness.

Living the California Life in Texas

Rob and I live with our puppies Ganso and Zorra here in Austin Texas. We've been together since 1989 and enjoy spending time with family and friends. We moved to Texas from California in 2007 and it has been amazing transition from Sacramento to Austin. I hope we have an opportunity to get to see you/know you soon. Take care and be well.
