Family Vacation at Lake Tahoe

Ahren making pasta
Ahren arrived safe and sound, with all his luggage (a miracle as far as I am concerned). We have been cooking up a storm, making his favorite meals. We are staying up at Lake Tahoe as I write this, and we made homemade pasta to take with us in the morning before we left. Ahren is measuring the egg/water mixture into the machine. Eva is creating some technological wonder on her iPad in the background.

Eva and I are having a great time in the backseat. Every now and then we have to stop the car and get out while Ahren takes a picture of the scenery.

The place we are staying is very high up overlooking the lake. Great views, but heavens, this place does have a lot of steps.

Last night we made Linguini and Clams with our homemade pasta. We tried to play a version of Gin Rummy that I bought, but the rules seemed to baffle everyone. Today we plan to venture out to Sand Harbor, a lovely beach on the Nevada side of the lake, and then maybe play a bit of miniature golf. It is so nice to be together!

  1. Looks like a wonderful time. What lovely views! This may become known as the aerobic vacation with a ‘built in’stairstep included! Hoping you have a great week – social media at a minimum, and the weather fully cooperates.

  4. How lovely it is there! My son wants to make homemade pasta. Could you please tell me what machine you are using. Do you recommend,etc. thank you.Enjoy the time with your son and granddaughter.
    I have just one son, so special to me. He gave me a bday card a few years ago that said “ Mom, wherever you are is home to me”. I still cry thinking if it. I feel so loved and lucky.

  13. I almost bought that pasta machine last year. I kept wavering because I was afraid the cleaning of it, after use, would just be too much for my arthritic hands. I was so torn. Do you love it? fresh pasta is so wonderful.
    It’s a good time to be up in the mountains where the temp will be cooler than home. Have a wonderful time.

  25. We love to play Society Rummy. It starts with 7 cards, progresses to 13, and each had you have to save something different. Lots of fun, once you get the hang of it!
