Winding Down...

All good things must come to an end.  Headed back to Reno on Friday, but first one last swing around the beach...

 Debbie jumped out of the truck and ran right down the steps, kicked off her shoes and started rolling up her jeans - didn't have to tell me twice, I was right behind her. Last chance to get some sand between those toes. Waded in up to the knees, found some shells, then good bye to the beach...

 Sad attempt at a selfie

Deer grazing on someone's lawn...

Good bye to my little lighthouse...

It took forever to get back - the traffic was bumper to bumper all the way - then when we started to climb the mountain, we ran into this:

Snowstorm on Donner Pass!  Trucks were lined up for miles and miles putting chains on their tires to get over the hill.  Luckily, we sailed on by - and luckily, we had stopped for dinner before ascending the mountain, so nobody had to be eaten...

It was nice to have a quiet day at Debbie's to rest up from the trip - sleep in, have naps and play with the critters.

Diego and Joaquin - at least I know these guys are going to miss me when I'm gone :)

Later, Nate came over and brought Addie (and his guitar) with him.  Last time I was here, this little princess wouldn't speak or even look at me, so it was a major score that she let me play littlest pet shops with her this time - (even though she informed me I was doing it wrong most of the time.)
Beleive it or not, I even got her to sing to me - Princess Anna's song from Frozen.  So darned adorable!

We had pizza, and then Dana & Nate sang for us.  I enjoy this so much - reminds me of the good old days when my brothers would serenade us with their guitars...

What a great time.
