Post swimming dinner

After an awesome swim lesson, mastering the beast stroke ….Dad made his world famous grilled cheese sandwich topped off with fresh blackberries, grapes and chocolate pie.  Grace and dad might open a restaurant with no menu, people sit down and we give them what we think they should have.  We may start a cab company and do the same. …take people where we think they should go.  That’s the dinner conversation.  Up next …preparing for tomorrow’s spelling test.

Turkey-Day Outing

Great afternoon of fun and food. Thanksgiving means mom works so Dad and Grace are left to our own devices. This morning we were lazy around the house, and then headed to the hills with Zoey. Up Galena Creek Trail on Mt. Rose was good fun and 23degrees with mild snow flurries made for added fun on our great hike/adventure. Yes we kinda got lost for a few minutes! Zoey is the best, she didn’t even now we were lost!

Then we stopped by one of our favorite coffee shops (Cafe Milano) on the way home for a snack. Odd to be in a coffee shop on Thanksgiving, but in Reno it’s all good. Nice snack and then a desert called the “Brownie Train Wreck” ..and oh boy was it ever!!

We have a lot to be thankful for, and we reflected today. On Saturday we’ll do a traditional Thanksgiving.
