Orange and Other Things

I follow a blog called "Under the Sycamore" - it's an awesome blog. Her sister also has a blog called "Recipe for Crazy." She has CrazyJoy challenge words. I participated this weekend. The CrazyJoy word was Orange. When I decided to take the challenge I thought I'd never find anything orange, then I kind of forgot about it. Saturday evening I went to my Cousin's son's wedding and there on the table were ORANGE M&Ms in cute little heart boxes! My heart skipped a beat and when I had the chance I took the challenge...CrazyJoy=Orange.

I Like to Camp

I like camping. I always have. I particularly like camping at Lake Lahontan. I like to listen to the cottonwoods rustling in the breeze and the waves lapping at the beach. It's an interesting lake.

I found this description on Wikipedia, "Lake Lahontan was a large endorheic Pleistocene lake of modern northwestern Nevada that extended into northeastern California and southern Oregon. The area of the former lake is a large portion of the Great Basin that borders the Sacramento River watershed to the west."

Now it's a reservoir. It's brown. There's a Facebook dedicated to it "Keep Lahontan Brown." I think that is hilarious...keep lahontan brown...funny.

Some of my best childhood memories are from when my family camped there. When I pass, I want my ashes spread there.

I think the Corgis think it's special too.
