Last weekend my sister Jan and I went to Carson City to see our Mom. She is 90 years old and lives in an Assisted Living facility. She has macular degeneration and is mostly blind. She broke her hip a few years ago and the replacement surgery did not go well, so she walks with a pretty good limp. She has had a few bouts with cancer in recent years and is struggling.
Jan flew out to Reno and we went down to Carson City to spend a few days with Mom. We got her out of the Assisted Living Center every day and went for drives and adventures. One day we drove all the way around Lake Tahoe. It is a beautiful lake with great views. So many pine trees and we had beautiful weather.
One day we went to Reno and hit some tool stores and shopped around. Could not get Jan to buy much. She says she needs to get out to her shop and assess where she is and decide what she needs for her shop. Really? What she needs? Go figure!!
Another day we went to Reno and looked at the Scheels Store in Sparks. They had some great displays to get in to take pictures. Jan was 4 wheeling!!!
Reno is working on a Riverwalk down town. It is not as far along as San Antonio and their riverwalk, but it was still fun. We found a park bench in the shade and watched the kids float, tube, swim and play in the Truckee River. It was a very pleasant afternoon.
