We had a wonderful week in Reno, but my favorite part was going to the lake. The girls and I were so excited about hanging out on the beach, building sand castles and playing in the water. Wishful thinking I guess.......I forget that Tahoe is still pretty cool in June. We were the only crazy people not wearing jackets! After our dinner on the lake at Lone Eagle, we headed out on the beach to take a quick pic and head for the heated car. We were a little disappointed, but can't wait to go back when the weather is a little warmer!

Tulips are my favorite flower. I saw these at
the Lone Eagle Grill in Incline Village. Thought
they were beautiful and had to take a pic.

Finally Getting My Garden Started

I have been talking about and wanting to start a garden for quite some time now, and we finally got it started this weekend. So excited about it! I have to admit that my thumb isn't very green, but I am ready to learn as much as I can. Growing up we always had fresh veggies from my Grandma and Grandpa Sharp's garden and I have come to realize that there is nothing like it! I just hope that one day my garden will produce excellent veggies like theirs.

We have had a nice relaxing weekend, but are heading to Reno/Tahoe tomorrow morning for the week. Kev has been working there quite a bit lately, and we are ready to spend some time there with him. I LOVE Tahoe this time of year and can't wait to have a nice relaxing week!

I am making some homemade salsa and thought I would share it with all of you. This is a HUGE staple in our kitchen. It is a very easy recipe and so handy to have available.

Here is the recipe: (no measurements, just to taste)

1 can of diced tomatoes, with lime juice & chipotle
cumin
garlic salt
lemon pepper
fresh lemon Juice
fresh cilantro
chili powder
(*add fresh garden tomatoes if available)

Blend all ingredients together in a blender and enjoy.

I absolutely LOVE this salsa on my veggie, egg white omelet....try it.

Maryssa & Graycie at JR Stables

Our girls love to go to Grandpa's horse property and visit. Maryssa has decided that she wants to help her Grandpa feed his horses. She loves to draw horses, learn about horses, read about horses, but when it comes to petting them......well that's a different story. I am hoping that by helping her Grandpa feed, she will overcome some of her fears.
