THE REASON FOR OUR MOVE

We were encouraged by our son (okay pushed) to move from our comfortable life in the mountains of NC to Northern CA where adjustment has been difficult considering our lives have only been in fairly rural settings for the last 30+ years.

How fortunate we are to have this fantastic human looking after our best (growing old) interests!  Though he and his family live 2.5+ hrs. West of us, their 2nd home is less than 2 hrs. in a setting we are bonded to.  Truckee.....which is in the Lake Tahoe area.

Labor Day weekend has been such fun.  At times I'm surprised to find I can't or shouldn't be doing activities that would never have given me pause 10 years ago.  We spent an entire morning at Tahoe City Tree Adventures.....an astonishing play land for the hardy.  Zip lining is the main feature with other aerial challenges interconnected.  It's a massive place and just plain darn interesting to watch the various attendees succeed or sometimes have total 'frozen with fear' moments (talked through  by parents and staff).

Here's some of the views.....2nd two photos are our youngest grandson who has great athletic skills.  I have a couple of videos but yet again Blogger won't allow them to be posted......  I'll try submitting to my Facebook page instead.

Our son's home had a bear break in when it was under renovation

and empty at the time.  It broke in through a window and left his marks on the dry wall....now framed.  They suspect food had been left in that area of the house by the contractors which attracted the bear.  A good reminder to always use caution where there is a large bear population....problems are rare but they can happen.
