Been busy vacationing

Hey CeCe, you're right, I haven't blogged in awhile. Bill and I had a really nice time. Besides being happy to see each other and appreciating each other more since we haven't been together in over a month; we played Napa tourist, too. Annie gave us tickets for dinner on the wine train which was quite pleasant. I took Bill around to the places that I enjoy, Farmer's Market, the library. We walked around Copia which is kind of a wine culture center. It sits on the Napa river, had a neat kitchen gift shop and is surrounded with flowing water and food gardens.

Bill flew home Wednesday. I traveled to Santa Rosa Wednesday to see the eye doctor. I worked Thursday and Friday, did laundry, cleaned up the house, as I had friends coming. I flew Saturday afternoon to Las Vegas to see Judy and Kathy who drove there from Phoenix. We gambled a bit, walked the strip sight seeing, and headed to Lake Tahoe the next day. Tahoe is beautiful. We stayed at Harvey's two nights. It is all in the pines and if you haven't seen Lake Tahoe, you should. It is beautiful. We took a paddle wheel boat trip across the lake, a 2.5 hour journey. We watched, visited, had a few margarita's. Talked about what the poor folks were doing, and the possibility that in a couple years one of us could be gone and the others would be remembering our trip to Tahoe.

Yesterday we drove to Napa which is only 200 miles. Judy and Kathy left this morning for another leg to their road trip on the way to Oregon. So life is slowing returning to normal. The girls came over today.

I went out to Annie's for supper. Helped her put together an IKEA bookshelf. Not easy. She had dim lights and I can't see that well anyway. Finally she lent me her head light which helped a lot. Tess wanted to help with the hammering as she has experience in kindergarten. Actually she might be as good as me, but her mother didn't put her to the test today. The girls will be having their first sleep over at my house tomorrow. Gotta get up early to catch up on my job.
