The unique 07-07-07

We went to church in Calistoga today and found it to have a very friendly bunch of members. Afterward we had lunch on the patio at Al's sister and husband's house with 2 of his relatives. We spent the afternoon visiting with them. It was pleasant weather probably around 80. Last night it was 54. It's not unusual to have a 30-40 degree difference between night and day. Tonight it's cooling down again. Great for sleeping!

Inside

This is a view of Lake Tahoe from inside the Edgewood Lodge, a famous golf club.

Life Without God and Hope

I just read the following verse. It's something to ponder.

"A crust of bread and a corner to sleep in,
A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,
A pint of joy to a peck of trouble,
And never a laugh but the moans come double;
And that is life!"

By Paul Laurence Dunbar,
Lyrics of Lowly Life

Time at Tahoe

As you can imagine we had a very nice time at the lake. We didn't do much of any particular grandiose thing but lounged. We did take a short hike in the mountains and snooped around at various locations near the lake. It's just plain beautiful. It took me back to my Colorado days where I spent 6 years. I enjoyed the mountains then too.

O Happy Day

Today is our 30th anniversary. My brother and his wife are using someone's time share at Lake Tahoe and they have invited us to spend 2 nights with them. So we're headed to the Ridge Tahoe Resort which is actually over the border into NV but it has a view of the big lake. We'll be back Thurs. with hopefully many good photos.
