    What do you like to do at Lake Tahoe?

    Keep in mind this is a cold water lake because it is so deep. Which is why it is also so beautiful because algae needs warmer water to survive. The water temperature near the surface generally cools to 40 to 50oF (4.5 to 10oC) during February and March and warms to 65 to 70oF (18 to 21oC)...

    Questions about San Francisco...

    Actually I was disappointed. It is very expensive. $24.95 for adults, $19.95 for 12- 17 year olds, and $14.95 for 7-11 year olds. The best thing it has is the Rain-forest which is contained within a 90-foot diameter glass dome. If you are there on the weekend and you don't get there early it...

    I have a blessing book that I write in. I try to daily write at least one thing that I am thankful for that day and one thing that I am praying about. It is neat to go back and see how things worked out and it keeps me focused on the positive instead of the negative.

    On these cold days an easy way to get in those veggies and fight the mindless snacking is to keep a pot of soup on the stove. They are generally low to zero points for those using Weight Watchers and a comfort food to boot for that snacking feeling.:thumbsup2 Since soup is water based and high...

    The one I do is very easy--- There are fancier, and just as easy recipes on the web but this one is a little more low cal because I do not use cream. This is a Santa Fe type of soup. In a two quart sauce pan saute onion in a little olive oil. Open a can of pumpkin and pour it in. Open a can...
