We had JUST eaten the buffet in Reno and Grma was happy about the shrimp!
Dad Michael and Melodee, his twin sister, are entertaining
us with the cell phones... Can you HEAR me now?? The CAT wants NOTHING to do with them!!!
Dad Michael in flip flops in the SNOW!?! At the summit
going to Boy Michael's house. What's with the snow in late Sept?
Grpa Michael hanging with his grandgirls. They had so
much fun with the "slumber party" laying on the floor that day! Grace (2) and Anne (8 months)
I am thinking there is a spell check available on this one?
Where was it on the other entry?
OK, after a fun time in Atlanta Michael and I flew Southwest over to SF and started out West Coast leg of the adventure.
We spent time doing the long drive up and down Hwy. 80 from the bay area to Reno. Miles and miles. There was snow
on both sides of the road and on the trees. It was beautiful!
We hung out with Boy Michael and Rebecca for the weekend. The guys went shooting late on Sat. afternoon and Dad Michael
forgot to take a sweatshirt for the evening cool and caught himself a good chill.
Rebecca and I got to attend Sun. morning conf. and we had a yummy chicken and potatoe lunch together before we
drove back down the hill to Teri's home. The little girls were SO entertaining and cute! And shopping was fun for little
girls again!
After a great dinner and a good night of sleep on a blowup bed, Michael headed back to the bay area for the Monday
and Teri and I took off in her new blue Lexus convertible for Apple Hill and some apple pie with carmel sauce. The
weather cooperated and we had a nice day. Topped off with a surprise reunion of the committee! We shared some
pizza and memories and caught up on a bit of life for about 45 minutes and then finished off the evening by attending
a meeting of gratitude.
Tues. we ATE our way thru the day. Breakfast with Joy, girls and grandchildren and Dallas. It was fun to see them in
action. Lunch was with Aunt Carol and we saw the Hawaii pictures from their trip here. Then we met up with Bec/Ray
for pizza and hot cookie dinner at BJ's before driving back to the bay area. It was a treat of a day!
Wed. morning was spent preparing to travel back up to Carson City with Michael's parents. We ate an endless meal
at the buffet in Reno and I have never seen Grma Wheable eat so much. She put away shrimp like non other and really
enjoyed it all! We visited Boy Michael and family again and Grmpa/Grma Wheable got to see their nice home. After
pictures and conversation, we met with Melodee and James, Michael's sisiter and husband and drove over to our
timeshare in So. Lake Tahoe. It was a two/two and 6 of us bedded down for the night. In the morning it was a beautiful
surprise to see the surroundings and vacation some more with everyone. Rebecca joined us with the girls and we met
Boy Michael for lunch and ate our way thru another day! We drove to Emerald Bay with Michael's parents and saw the fire
damage of the mountain side and homes and really enjoyed the day. Even the couple games of pool were fun in the club house!
Next day we left and popped into Apple Hill on the way down. Rain and cool was the weather and we got juice, apples and
IN and OUT animal fries by Davis. $1.60 to animal style it is pretty high! 2nd order didn't get animal styled...
We were now to Friday and our plane was flying back to Hawaii on Sat. afternoon. After MANY miles and much food and fun
with family and friends, we were ready to get back to life. We SO enjoyed our holiday travel in the "pre" holiday time and
send a sincere thank you to all the caring and kindnesses showed to us on this so-journ. Many fun memories and good pictures. Love and Aloha to you.
