Click here for Hikes / Tahoe Tuesdays
So Reed and Cole finish their last day in Tahoe with playing more tennis. When we get to the courts, there is a coach working with a high school student and asked if we wanted to join in his lessons. We said sure and had a great tennis lesson for all. Turns out this coach went to Long Beach State also. He wrestled there and also knew Pat's best friend Terry Lorentzen. Had a great day of tennis and then had lunch at Myself Thai.

Then the boys drove Pat down to Dublin and then Pat got to visit kids, grandkids and great grandkids

Then Pat and Tammy drove Pat back up to Tahoe had a great dinner and walked down to the sunset.

Ali and I went for a walk today over at Round Hill Pines Resort and met two amazing people. Scott and Lois. A son and mother. He's from New Orleans and she's from Murieta in So Cal. Had a great conversation.

Ali's niece Sarah is now a judge.

Another concert at Lake Baron. This time it was the Mesacalito Band. Who were great, but the Roper Girls were the best. You know from the TV sitcom from back in the 70's. "3's Company". Red hair wigs and all.

Hangin' with my buds in Newport. Terry, Debbie, Daryl, Bev, Joe, and me. Joe and Pat doing the morning walk

It worked out that when Pat drove back, he got to pick up grandson Reed. Stopped at the Soup Place.

Got to stop by and have breakfast with some family members.

I left my laptop down at Tammy's. She and Pat brought it 1/2 way and met us in Placerville for breakfast.
Then on the way back up to Tahoe we stopped and got to visit with Ray and Eileen and their dog Jesse.

Then Ray and Eileen come up to Tahoe with their friends: Mark and Laura and we had Pohl-Chops.

Bike ride in the morning with Mark and Ray. E-bikes. WOW, they go fast. Took them to Nevada Beach.
