A Patio started...
Marjorie and I went to the other side of the 36 and gathered river rocks from a very dry riverbed. In about 1/2 hour I have this much of my patio--of course, I still need the sand on the bottom, etc. etc. but I will just gather a few every day or so till I have enough!!!

Family Picture
Farewell to Everyone!
Friday came so soon and everyone had to go home. Pulsipher's pulling their boat all the way to El Cajon. Hardys driving to Sacramento and flying to San Diego, then back to Rancho Santa Fe. And I drove Meagan to Redding where she was to meet Matt and his friends--the friends had all come for a High School Reunion in Eureka. Unfortunately they had a flat and were late but Meagan and I used the time getting pedicures and shopping at Macys. Oh, yes, and we also took my car for a quick lube and had a wonderful lunch at the Tecate Grill. And how could I forget getting a few chocolates from Sees. It was a good day and a great week.

What to do at Lake Almanor?
You play on the beach and dock and you eat a lot of the time--
You play with the newest baby, Kelsi, 4 months old--
You do wakeboarding from Gary's new boat--at least Gary, Tanner, Amy, Kelly, Sarah, and Meagan did it--here they are unloading, boat is on the right.
You visit--
Linda and Gary in Mom's dining room...
And you shop, fish, go to Frostie's, play games...
Tanner won a lot at Chinese checkers--
Jimmy liked the Lincoln Logs--
Fruit Basket was a hit but Murder was too confusing for some...
So what to do at Lake Almanor?
Lake Almanor Handprints
Six years ago the grandchildren did handprint decorative stones for the side of my front walk.
Some of them cracked plus two more grandchildren were born so James and Linda supervised mixing the cement and creating the new stones. Messy but nice--here are the results. I didn't show baby Kelsi's. Her hand did not show well so both feet in but then one foot was smooshed so Daddy put his handprint in with her foot--cute.
