Lake Tahoe Facts

I have so many beautiful pictures from Lake Tahoe.  We had a great time on vacation.  I thought I would share one of the photo’s for Watery Wednesday.

Lake Tahoe Facts;

Max Depth 1645 feet.  Average Depth – 1000 feet.  Diameter (North – South) – 22 miles.  Diameter - (East-West) – 12 miles.  Second deepest lake in the United States.  1,400,000 gallons of water evaporates every day.   You could cover the entire State of California with 14 inches of water from the lake.   You could cover the entire state of Texas with 8 inches of water from the lake.   

The Panama canal is 700 feet wide and 50 feet deep.  You could build a Panama Canal around the equator and fill it and have enough water left to build another Panama Canal from Southern California to New York and fill it with the lake water.

The water clarity of the lake is a depth of 70 feet.   How is that for some fun trivia?

No editing here..  Straight from the camera. This was taken at Emerald Bay.

While I was gone I learned that I won this Blog Candy... Go Visit Michele - Here, she makes some awesome projects! THIS card inspired me to buy THIS set of stamps.. It came while I was away...

I'll be back hopefully with some fun adventures and pictures to share...

That’s Big!

How Big exactly is Big?  When does it become small or medium?  or Huge?   Just food for thought.   

Speaking of food.   How about a cute cupcake?   There is a little Bakery in Eagle Idaho called  Lilly Jane’s Cupcakes..  Go look at the mouth drooling photo’s.  If you live locally… go give her a visit.  Another place to visit is  Buttercup Happycakes in Boise. 

How about a cupcake event???  and Local!    (turn off music player above)

 

I bet it’s monstrously delicious!

I scream You scream….

We all scream of Ice Cream!   

I remember when I was a teenager, My Grandma Beth came to Boise to visit.   Dad gathered us all up and took us to Smith’s Food King (no longer here).  They had hand dipped cones.   My Grandma loved ice cream.   I remember her getting a double scooped cone.  I swear each scoop was the size of a soft ball.   It was the heat of the Summer and she had ice cream running down her arm and dripping off her elbow..  but she didn’t care.  I remember that look of pure bliss on her face….

Today is my youngest child , Scissorbella’s 24th birthday.  (AKA – Ashley)   I think Grandma Beth rubbed off on her.  She simply adores ice cream.   I always had to have a carton in the freezer.   I think she ate a bowl every night.   There were times she would call me at work, all worried because she forgot to tell me she was out of ice cream and that I really needed to pick some up on my way home from work. 

(Inside of card)

Well..  Ashley and David received an ice cream maker for their wedding.   I wonder if she’s used it yet?

Happy Birthday to My Sweet Daughter!
