Fall was definitely in the air up at Donner Lake this past weekend with warm days and crisp nights. Leaves were dropping and swirling on the forest floor.
It was our 11th annual Girls Weekend and on Friday we headed up to the Sierra's for a few days of sisterhood, visiting, reading, shopping, relaxing, food and music.....oh......and quite a few laughs!
However this year things didn't go quite as planned. As Ellen and Barbara almost got locked up in the Truckee Jail!!! This jail was used continuously from 1875 to 1964 and besides the two prisoners above, it has held notorious criminals such as Baby Face Nelson, Ma Spinelli and Machine Gun Kelly! However, after we bailed these two out, we just went next door for a good cup of coffee.....
In historic downtown Truckee we did a lot of shopping and a little sightseeing
and we had a wonderful lunch together........
...at Moody's Bistro. (we were supposed to be mimicking the lady in the poster behind us but some of us - certainly not me - got confused)!
In the afternoon we relaxed around the cabin and then Ellen gave us a short but delightful talk on her passion of raising honeybees! So many questions about the life of this very important little critter!
We played a late night game of Scrabble.....
I erased some of the words because of your delicate ears.....
But I promise....there was absolutely NO drinking involved!
