Much has happened since my last posting, so here it goes, in the best Chronological order I can remember......(I accidentally deleted some previous posting due to my incompetence in computer skills).
September, 2013 ~ We moved from Lake Tahoe to the Oldest town in Nevada ~ Genoa.
It's located at the bottom of the hill (mountain) from Tahoe about 20 min. We decided it was time to downsize from the big hacienda on the mountain and found our little charmer.

I always enjoy dressing up and Love getting in character!

December 1st, 2013 ~ Lars, Elissa, Tor, Baby Col and Doggie Dendro
moved into our house in Genoa to ready for their trip to Oxford, England.
Lars excepted a position at Oxford University as a Professor teaching Geology.
Settling into Oxford life took some time for our travelers but once they were unpacked, rested, regrouped they were ready to take on the town....
and the "TOR"foolery began...
