Thanksgiving in Reno

---

We had a delicious goose dinner with all the trimings on Thanksgiving. Friday, we went with John and Vicki into the California foothills to cut down their Christmas tree. The weather was beautiful -- sunny and "crisp" with no wind. First, we had to stop in Hallelujah Junction, CA, to buy a permit. After paying the $10 fee, we headed for the hills, so to speak. We drove about an hour into the Plumas Forest, stopping a couple of times to look for the "best" tree and eat a tailgate picnic before leaving the road on a logging path up to the top of a ridge where the selection was better. Finding the perfect tree took some time, but we were successful, finding just the right one. Not bad for ten dollars.
Today we decorate and watch football --especially the Florida-Florida State game and Kansas-Missouri. Between games, John will help us put pictures on the Blog. Monday we return home and continue to prepare for Christmas and the big cruise.
