There is so much that is left out including wonderful visits with Ken and Judi Piepgras, Merle and Jacki Jones; movies and concerts; Nadine and Owen's many special friends in Canada; trips to the yarn shops and scrapbooking stores for stencils to work with gelli plates; t'ai chi qigong with Leslie; knitting/arts with Krista; suppers and/or gatherings with Pam (meeting Adam and Aaron), Pete and Kaye, Joan and Art, Deane and Geordie, John and Barb, Sandy; shower by candlelight when electricity was off; just enjoying Nadine and Owen by the fire at night and watching the Canadian Olympic special tributes and events... and, my kids in Anchorage and at home taking care of my place and vehicle.
A very special thanks to all those mentioned below and those not mentioned who made my month extra special.
Just so you know - if you click on the photos you get a better viewing.
All photos were pretty much shot with camera-in-hand iPhone5.

Wow! What a whirlwind trip! Love the pictures and that scarf is gorgeous!
Looks like a great trip. My daughter lives in Anchorage, but soon will be moving to Palmer. We visited in 2013, might visit again this summer, it is so beautiful in Alaska!
