Wednesday I had to fly to Sacramento. I had a window seat on a Skywest flight. The sun was shining in and made my little space nice and warm. Then a very large man sat next to me and pinned me to the wall. As I couldn't move, I put my head against the window and fell asleep. I don't remember taking off or the first hour of the flight. I awoke when the captain (in his Australian accent) made his announcement that we were starting our decent. Wiping the drool from the corner of mouth, I opened my eyes and looked out the window. At first I could only see a big bluish blob. Then my eyes focused. We were over Lake Tahoe and it was spectacular from 35,000 feet. Clear and blue and fringed in white. The lake looked a huge blue looking glass. Tahoe is many things to many people, but from my little squished perch in the sky, it looked like heaven.

I'm sorry that your flight was so uncomfortable, but it couldn't have been so bad, if you got to see a sight like that! There will always be a special place in my heart for Lake Tahoe as i'm sure that it does for most of our family!
