Couples retreat this past weekend

W e attended the Grace Bible Church couples retreat this past weekend. It was held in Lake Tahoe. It was really nice. Had snow flurries, off and on. There were about 28 couples. We were in groups of 4 couples and were in condos at the lakes edge. As usual, Pictures are posted on the Picas Photo site, link on the right.

We now have a GAZEBO also !

With Nick's help We go this up Sunday afternoon. Wasn't as many parts as I thought there would be. Pictures of the installation/setup on the Picasa photo site at the links on the right.

When we decide exactly where it will be placed, we will secure it to the patio and put the little topper on it. This picture does not show the bug screen, but it has one, to be put up at a later date.
