Christmas in Reno

One of the few pit stops on our 14 hour journey to Reno.

This is one of my all time favorite photos.

I'm glad that there are phone booths still

somewhere in this world.

Just past Mt. Shasta, CA

Bagna Cauda at Ken & Dawn's House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Bagna càuda, (from the Piedmontese "hot sauce",[1] alternatively written bagna caôda or bagnacauda, etymologically related to Italian root bagn-, meaning "wet") is a warm dip typical of Piedmont, Italy, but with numerous local variations. The dish, which is served and consumed in a manner similar to fondue, is made with garlic, anchovies, olive oil, butter, and in some parts of the region cream. (In the past walnut or hazelnut oil would have been used.)[2] Sometimes, truffles are used in versions around Alba.[3] The dish is eaten by dipping raw, boiled or roasted vegetables, especially cardoon, carrot, peppers, fennel[3] celery, cauliflower, artichokes, and onions. It is traditionally eaten during the autumn and winter months and must be served hot, as the name suggests.

Morgan & Alynie's First Christmas as a married couple... aren't they cute?

After the delicious meal we had a white elephant gift exchange (which I forgot to photograph!) but this chicken was definitely the HOT Item......

Adam made the most delicious desserts for everyone.... Lime tarts and a blackberry, cheese cakey, pie.  Some were heard to say that it was the best pie they have ever tried!!

Some of the fambly went ice skating at the down town,

outdoor rink.

I happened to be wearing one of my Lincoln T-Shirts and Mike photographed me under the street sign.

We went to a cool park that had a labyrinth and raced to the center for some self portraits...

This is my antique shop purchase of the trip.
