Living in Reno

We didn't want to rush right down on them after they moved. So we gave Ken and Becky about twenty years to settle in a bit before going south to visit them. We had a great time. They are a short hop from Huntington Beach... more water. What a great place to live. We also got to visit with their daughters, Heather and Katrina.

Mona thought she could walk back to Washington and I wouldn't notice. Fortunately, the tide was coming in so she had to come back.

We did bring Becky's car keys back with us. I thought we would hold the keys until they came up to visit us. Mona thought it would be too inconvenient for Becky to walk to work each day until then, even if it doesn't snow there:-) So, Mona made me send the keys back.

Out here in the high desert, you might not expect to find much water. Au Contraire ... (I know. I am supposed to be learning Spanish...)



Here is Pyramid Lake. One of the largest lakes in the US covering about 188 square miles of Nevada.

And of course just a short hop to the west you run into Lake Tahoe...







Our special education teacher, Carol, runs a summer camp (Camp Care) on the shores of Lake Tahoe. She's been doing this for about thirty years! After a visiting for the day, it was easy to see why she would keep coming back:-)
