Where Was I?
At the lodge in Aialik, of course. A mostly recreational trip this time, though Mike did install a door and took measurements for two new projects which he’ll execute here at home.
‘Tis the season to fill the freezer, so we fished…
…for halibut.
Looks like Denny and Mike are working pretty hard for it, no?
It weighs […]Bucket Gardening
The deck zucchini is doing much better than the garden zucchini.
Where’s Jen?
Three guesses and the first two don’t count.
Weekend Site Seeing
Winners of the Escape to Alaska or Bust essay contest are announced. I’m sorry to say I don’t recognize a single name. I guess that means you’ll have to plan your own trip to Alaska.
Things are hectic this week, beginning right now, so it might get quiet around here. Of course, my hope is […]
KFGL is Open!
Oh-oh-oh–Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge is open!
The first guests arrived Sunday afternoon.
A black bear arrived outside the lodge right on time for dinner.
The bear was watched from the dining room but not invited in.
From serviceable in June 2008, to…
…warm, cozy, and beautiful in 2009.
I’ll be heading out for a visit in under […]Weekend Sightseeing

Spring and summer came early to this part of Alaska. May has been sunny sunny sunny

A couple new old windows enlarge this year’s cold frame on the deck, home to tomatoes, cukes, zucs, and herbs.
Peas are already climbing.
Broc, collards, and […]Spring
Still waiting for six numbers to add to the 2009 Bookmark Challenge total. Many participants are still taking donations and will collect bookmarks year-round, but I hope to have a number soon. The rest can be counted in next year’s total.
Around here, it’s spring!
Actually, the entire month of May has been gorgeous. Last weekend, […]Alaska Vacation
This bookmark-finishing style will be discussed in the May Needlework Nutshell. Subscription box in the sidebar. Are you wondering how long I can keep this up? Me, too.
I’ve been encouraging you read, read, read and stitch, stitch, stitch since March 19. Now I’m encouraging you to write.
I saw that! No eye-rolling allowed. What if in […]Volcano Update
Thanks, Everyone, for your concerns about our welfare after recent eruptions of Mt. Redoubt.
As yet, no ash has been blown this way; my walks to the mailbox have not been disrupted. I watch the Anchorage Daily News Web site for updates on volcano activity, and I’ve reviewed safety procedures. I’ll keep you posted as the […]
