James (Brando) and his
daughter Maria came for a visit in October.
Jim has season tickets to Cal
Football, so much of the fall was split between the games and work at the lodge
and of course, watching the Giants take the World Series. While at the lodge, Jim and Carol built
the mudroom and stone hearth for our new cast iron stove fireplace.
Closing the year, we were able
to finally get the cast iron fireplace installed so that it was toasty warm for
our visit from Carol, Cassandra and her children, Denise and Matt (Guida Gunns) and the boys, Bill and Mary and
baby Lou, Mom, Pattie with grandkids Rylie and Noah , Jeremy and Brandon. Everyone helped us celebrate the new
year under the amazing Sierra stars
(though some of us did not make it to midnight). We received a boatload
of snow for sledding. Jim and the
guys built a mega sled hill that goes down two stone staircases into the
backyard. We have dreams of adding some tunnels and a tow rope next year.
