People who live in the Tahoe/Truckee area are thankful for the same things that people are thankful for everywhere: Spending time with family and friends, good health, a job and just being able to live in America.
Tahoe/Truckee folks are also thankful for being able to live here, not only for Tahoe’s natural beauty and nearly unlimited recreational opportunities, but because the people who live here, moved here because it is a place of beauty and fun. It is rare to find someone who came to Tahoe for a job. They moved here for the lifestyle, and then found a niche that allows them to make a living. I mean, where else but the Tahoe/Truckee region could a statement like this seem totally normal: “Oh man, I’ve skied six days in a row…I need to take tomorrow off and go to work.” Now of course between selling real estate and raising children I’ve never been able to make a statement like that myself, but isn’t it awesome to live in a place where people can actually say that?
I thank my lucky stars that I have spent most of my life at Tahoe, and that I am able to raise my children here. Hey, I am even thankful that my twin children just got their drivers licenses. So while we are raising a glass to family, love, friends and good health this Thanksgiving, don’t forget to mention this beautiful place we call Tahoe and Truckee.
