I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.

A Wedding at Leonard Lake


Family and friends gathered at Leonard Lake Reserve (between Ukiah and Willits) for five days of fun, food, togetherness and celebration.
Son-in-law Stuart, and grandsons Wren and Dakota enjoyed rowing on the lake....and also fishing. Wren ate a small mouth bass that he caught for breakfast!


Randy enjoyed canoeing. He tried to coax Cooper into getting into the canoe....no dice.
We drove to the lake from AZ so that we could visit my son Jake in Sacramento and take Cooper.


We were surrounded by beautiful redwoods.


We relaxed, ate wonderful food and enjoyed badminton, ping pong, swimming, fishing and hiking.



Dakota found a fort in one of the redwood trees.


The water was cool but still a lot of fun for the kids.


Jake got his seven month old puppy, Roscoe, into the kayak.


Such a picturesque spot. We rented all 5 houses on the property. The houses had beautiful antique furniture in all of the rooms. We stayed in the "Big House" with a kitchen that could seat over 30 people and sleep about 20.


Wren enjoyed climbing trees and exploring.


Tents were set up on the deck of the "Barn House" and places were set for the wedding feast.


Jake and Kirsten are all dressed up and ready to enjoy the wedding festivities.


Emily and Alex after the "I dos." We blew bubbles to celebrate. Alex is from Wales and that's where they are living.


A family shot........it was a wonderful time!
