We met, for the first time, in Italy.  They live in Long Beach and flew in for their first ever visit to The Lake.

We unloaded their rental car and strolled to the lake.  It was a gorgeous afternoon to bask and people watch.

My favorite spot to gather is our front yard.  You never know who will wander by.  Our friend, Catherine, walks her dog past our porch every day and today was the first time she had a spare moment to join us for a glass of wine.  She is the President of the Historical Society and shared some incredible Lake Tahoe history with Tom and Chris.  Fun!

Dinner was our favorite Wood Fired Pizza at the Ski Run Blvd. Farmers' Market.  To ogle the produce and chat with the 'locals' is a great way to spend a Friday evening.  Delicious, entertaining and very small town.  A pretty perfect day!
