Looking for Fall Colors

Over the weekend Clint and I drove trough Hope Valley on the way to dinner in Nevada since its only an hour and half from his cabin. We were able to find some Aspen trees that had the leaves looking very bright yellow. there would have been more trees with those color but a little over 2 weeks ago we had a storm come through with high winds and blew a lot of the leaves off. Lucky went over the weekend for we are getting another wind storm and it will probably blow more off. The mountains even had some snow still from that storm. DSCN1001DSCN1008 DSCN1019 DSCN1006

Learning To Ride.

In August I took a coarse for motorcycle riding, lets say I was a little nervous since I had never really been ridden one just been a passenger. Well on August 23 I passed the class and than by weeks end I passed the DMV test and I am now licensed to ride. That weekend Clint and I looked at bikes and found a Yamaha 200 dual sport where I can ride on streets and dirt trails. I don't’ have pictures yet of me on the dirt trails but Clint did take some of me on the street trying out my bike. So now when I go to Clint's cabin I can now go with him and take some of trails.

Hard to Believe.

Okay I came across a picture of my cousins son  Chris’s picture  when he was few years younger I think he is now 24 or 25. Lets just say there is an uncanny resemblance to Evan who will be 17 in 2 weeks. So tell me what you think.

Now the one on the left is my cousins son Chris and the  one on the right is Evan. They sure could pass as brothers.

At the right time and spot.

A couple weeks ago when I was at Clint’s cabin in Bear River Resort area we just happened to be at the resort and had finished eating ice cream when some people asked us if we knew a doctor, for a women had been stung she did do the shot since she was allergic but that did not work and she was going in to anaphylatic shock. We did not know and since that was happening we said it was best to call 911 again let them now she was down. We went down the road to wait for rescue and point the direction of were they had to go.We found out after the 1st rescue units showed up few minutes later they were going to have bring in DSCN0906 life lite so were drove to heli pad and took pics. of them coming in and than leaving with the patient. Not some thing we see to often but kudos to the life lite crew and the rescue personnel for their quick actions all of this was done in half hour from the phone call to her being lifted out. We asked the following day if they had hear the how she was but now word so hope fully it was good.

Time with my son

Now this fun. Better than eating dust.
Wow you can see for miles from here. Mom and her taking pics.

Do I have to its dusty


Its not often I can spend time with my son Evan but last Thurs. July 16 I took him and his girlfriend up to Clint's cabin at Bear River resort area which is about 20 minutes west of Kirkwood for anyone who lives up in Northern Ca. We took them for a Jeep ride which can get dusty and bumpy we took them to an outlook where you can see for several miles. After wards we took them to Bear River lake and pulled them on a towable behind Clint's boat they had a better time doing that and want to do that again plus swim. We ended the day BBQing some hamburgers than took them back home.

Lets Swim

Hi it's me Ashleigh.
Aidan kicking and blowing bubbles


Look Auntie bubbles


Yes Ashleigh you can swim.


Last week and it still is hot. I took my Niece Ashleigh and Nephew Aidan to the pool in my condo to beat the heat. Which we do quite often here in Sacramento they love going in and its good practice as well to keep them going on what they learned in swim lessons. When they get home they are hungry and ready to eat dinner.
