Snow Day #1

First snow,school calls a snow day which must mean more on the way today. Loaded Baked Potato Soup is on the menu.

Fab Fall Day

September 29 and warm and gorgeous on Lake Tahoe. This season is my favorite. Easy to see why.

Fall Friday inspired Menu

Harvest Salad, sliced baked potato and Parmasean Crusted Pork Chops recipe by Giada. It was a really good combo and quick to prepare.

Back to school dance

The boys before their first middle school dance. Excited, nervous, amped up, nervous...oh that's me.

First Day of School

Alder Creek Middle's newest 6th grader.

Wicked Summer Hail Storm

Mother Nature had her way with the flower beds, leafy trees and shrubs and potted plants. No other serious damage but the fog and hail has the temp at 40 degrees this morning and the roads looking like December.
