the same air as angels

When the Ponderosa pines bend with the season's first snow, Tahoe transforms into a winter wonderland. Towns like Tahoe City and nearby Truckee become the perfect snowbound escapes, while the lake's ski resorts turn Tahoe into the nation's favorite winter playground.

"To breathe the same air as angels you must go to Tahoe." - Mark Twain

Lost phone
We ate at T's Mesquite Rotisserie at Lake Tahoe and left to go to the beach. At one point, we stopped for mom to take a picture. She could not find her phone when she looked, so we called it. When it rang, a man answered it. She said she misplaced her phone and asked where he found it. He said it was laying in the parking lot. He was holding on to it inside the restaurant for her. Mom said she would be back momentarily. He returned it to her as promised, refusing the reward she tried to give him.
