Couldn't miss out on the Civil War Days in Virginia City
(or the War of Northern Aggression according to Allan)
over Labor Day Week-end.
Even Nevada's Governor, Brian Sandoval, was there.
Isn't he a cutie?
...and the battle took place.
...wonder who won?
Oh well, off to find a brew...
brings back memories "Olympia Beer in a can."
And, another week-end back to Virginia City for the
Annual Camel Races. No, we did not get on a camel!
Stopped by the Gold Hill Hotel for a Sangria on the way home.
Here are Donna & Dave again...they must be here for the month!
Yep...love those Sangrias.
Up to Donner Lake for a reunion dinner with our neighbors from the desert.
Not only do we get to party with them in the winter, but also in the summer.
Ellen arrived this week...so have lots planned.
First of all, a day trip to Amador County to do some wine tasting.
First stop...Toscano winery.
We only bought 2 cases here.
With Ken, Ellen, Janet, Donna, Esther & Jim.
(Allan and Dave were elsewhere.)
Then it was off to Renwood for the wine tastings and lunch.
What a great venue this was...outside tasting and dining.
Now here is the whole gang.
Even took in the beautiful grounds of the wineries.
What a nice looking couple...
Another evening...Girls Night Out at Carol's...
Ellen prepared her Eggplant Parmesan (right from her cooking school in Italy).
Delicious! (I was her sous chef...did all the cutting and chopping.)
A group shot...a very fun evening.
Showing Ellen all of Tahoe and Nevada...
back to Virginia City (with a stop at the Gold Hill Hotel).
More Sangrias, you know.
We're looking for Lil' Joe and Hoss.
And another evening out...dining at the Hyatt's Lone Eagle Grill...
such a pretty sunset.
Now we're in Tahoe City...just finished a bike ride from Squaw Valley to Tahoe City...
checking out Fanny Bridge...
Diane joined us on this bike ride.
Turned Ellen into a real mountain woman...
we biked about 13 miles this day.
She did it, too!
Ellen's gone...will see her in March in the desert.
But introduced her to all that was Tahoe. She'll be back!
Now it is Dayton Valley Days...and
who is that cowboy? That's Tahoe Fats.
And, Allan's Cowboy Action Shooting Group marched in the parade...
Another dinner out on the lake @ Susie's home.
Seems like Ken is everywhere with us.
Here is Barbara, Jack, Ken and me.
I guess Susie is cooking and Allan is getting the drinks.
It's getting time to leave Tahoe...the snow is coming. Ugh!
Final get together with some of the girls at the Lone Eagle
before I head south.
Gosh...we all have on sweaters now!
(Me, Gladys, Jenny, Connie & Susan)
Next stop...the desert!
However, was a great summer and
I'll miss the girls...
