Well, the boat's not ours, but Lake Tahoe is our neighbor for a whole week. Yes, it's reunion time again with my in-laws and their (our) extended family.
The cabin we rent every year is much the same as always. Each year, we find little improvements the owners have made (with our rent money). This year, it seems some quite rickety steps were recently replaced with temporary steps. These new steps are rickety in their own right, but were easily anchored with penny nails on our first day here.
There was an emergency over the weekend, when one of my brothers in-law had a seizure. Fortunately, he was treated and released and is back in our midst. Cabin head count as of today: adults - 8; teens - 6; kids & tweens - 3. It's a smaller crew than most years. I, for one, love the novelty of elbow room. But then we have a second cabin about five miles down the road, full of cousins of the adult, teen and child variety. Tonight is the Big Potluck, where I'll secure a final head count.
Mellow, huh? Well wait until "2012" opens this Novemeber and we'll SEE how laid back it'll all be!! ANd I don't think Tahoe will be safe. If there are tidal waves in Tibet, just imagine the hellish nature-on-a-rampge Emmerich and CO. have planned for the mere Sierras!!
But as Pam pOInted out earlier: NO SPUNKY DOGS WILL BE KILLED IN THIS PICTURE!
