Tahoe Update

Share

Greetings Fellow Life Travelers:

Another glorious week of gorgeous color in our trees!  So far, weather hasn’t interrupted the offering that’s been holding for a month, although we may get hit this weekend with rain/snow.  Last Sunday my colleague, Amie, and I had a great blast in the SF Chronicle – article attached.  Knights of the Vine had its annual dinner at Spindleshanks in Tahoe Vista –the chef had a special dinner for us that was fabulous.  Highly recommend for value as plentiful menu offers great food and prices are reasonable.  And the setting on the golf course is lovely for al fresco dining when weather allows. Now let’s see what happened in real estate this week.

Residential Real Estate – week 10/18 – 10/24

  • Atmospheric River:  In anticipation of what may be an Atmospheric River on Saturday, Tahoe Fund tells us that they contain as much water as the outflow of the Mississippi River.
  • Tahoe Trails.  With emphasis on outdoor recreation, enhancing our trail systems is an ongoing effort to protect what makes Tahoe special.  This season, several nonprofit organizations received grant funding to continue that work – restoring trails, educating visitors and nurturing a culture of environmental stewardship.

Tahoe Community Foundation

  • Detroit  – #1 in Housing Market Rankings, dethroning St. Louis.  From a ‘rebuilding city’, it’s now entering a luxury chapter. The city has grown its tech, finance and healthcare sectors while still maintaining its presence as a center for automotive and manufacturing industries.  Mansion Global
  • 2025’s Travelers’ Choice awards for Best Fine Dining – U.S.: #1 – Revival, Charleston , SC; #2 – Sazón, Sansta Fe, NM; #3 – Second Empire Restaurant & Tavern, Raleigh, NC; #4 – Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, a Nashville Steakhouse, Nashville, TN; #5 – La Grande Boucherie, Chicago, IL; #6 – Brenner’s on the River Walk, San Antonio, TX.  OK, that’s enough calories.
  • Nevada Day – November 1.  The State’s celebration of history and statehood in 1938 with a huge parade in Carson City along with fun contests.
  • Shared housing. Increased interest for older citizens to share housing, conserving costs and increasing sociability. WSJ article.  Read the Article ›

TidBits

  • Each day, spend some time on two things:  1) working toward something that will pay off years from now  2) appreciating something that is happening right now.  James Clear
  • Warning: Retired person on the premises.  Knows everything and has plenty of time to tell it. 
  • I don’t get nearly enough credit for the things I manage not to say out loud.
  • Life is not a fairytale.  If you lose your shoe at midnight, you’re drunk.
  • To become old and wise, you must first be young and stupid.
  • If I say I will fix it, there’s no need to remind me every 6 months.
  • My neighbors are listening to great music, whether they like it or not.
  • The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you have come.
  • Why are you reading this?  Go back to work.
  • Don’t blame the holidays. You were fat in August.

  • Never argue with a woman.  If you win, things might get worse.
  • Farm sign:  Insured by Smith & Wesson; Security by Winchester; Funeral arrangements by John Deere.

  • And yet, despite the look on my face, you’re still talking.
  • Squats?  I thought you said, “Let’s do shots”. 
  • The fact that there’s a highway to hell and only a stairway to heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers. 
  • Sign at Swimming Pool:  Warning: Sharks have been spotted in this pool.  They come out when they smell pee.
  • Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. Jules Renard
  • If you have an opinion about my life, just raise your hand…then put it over your mouth.
  • Coffee in hand, big girl panties pulled up, sparkle in my eye and a smile on my face. Yep, I’m ready for the day.  Bring it on! 

So have a great week and see you next time!  

Best wishes,
