we snuck outta the workweek a day early
















We had great plans (visualize sweeping hand gestures....) in Tahoe. We booked a cottage at our fav place in Kings Beach (cuz they take dogs) and we were going to meet up Rich's Sister, Cookie and her hubby Tom. PERFECT....well maybe not so much. No problem getting up the hill Thursday night...clear as a bell. We stopped at a fav dinner stop, Lanza's and got two killah pasta dishes...and Cheesy Toast (Chiso's new nickname). So all's good...we watched some TV d hit the sack early. Friday morning...we got up and took Chiso and Allie to the Tahoe National Forest up behind the cottages. Then headed into Tahoe City for bagels and thats when the storm started. Within the hour we had 4 foot swells and up to 50 MPH wind gusts. We called Cookie and Tom to find out if it was as blustery across the Lake? Yep...the wind kept whipping up and in came the snow...so by 3 Rich went to the grocery store and bought supplies, a movie and wine and fishtailed his way through the snow and hunkered down we did. Cookie and Tom did the same thing. We had an official Snow Day where we did NOTHING. It was great and a great first snow experience for Chiso....and once we stopped fighting it, we relished in not being able to do anything. Thankfully we metup with the Lynchs back in Sactown-lovethem!!!
