sailing down the page


It's good to be back and finally caught up on rest and back in the groove of work and all. This week I came across a writing program that operates as a correspondence course with a mentor and lessons over a two-year period! The price is very fair and the guy who heads this up is reputable. I'm intrigued. I'm praying for some guidance and soul searching to see if I am really up for such a long-term commitment and can muster the discipline necessary to successfully complete this program.

My new job is going very well. I really like everyone and I'm learning more. It's a good change for sure.

I just heard on the news that some crazy man w/mental issues drove around the city running people over in the street and sidewalks on purpose today! There were 14 victims. Sad.

Before I get down on the world again, George comes over to remind me that there are good samaritans and good things happening every day. He always brightens my perspective.

greetings from the dining room

Anchorage


A few pics from Achorage. There was a cute park in Town Square with lots of flowers and a waterfall.
Top Left- Justin & Katie, Top Right - me and George, Bottom Left-me and Mom, Bottom Right-me and my sister.

Justin & Katie had bunk beds in their room.

There was a chess game on the lido deck nearly as big as the Harry Potter chess set.

To the right was our dining table every night.




The College Fiords were my favorite Glaciers to see! Simply amazing. This view is from our balcony.

back in the "Lower 48"


We were greated by these guys at the Anchorage Hilton.





Back from Alaska & Vancouver. Have lots of pics to download and I'm just too tired at the moment.

Much more to follow later.
It's true what they say about cruises,
way too much good food available at all times!

expressive moment

My heart wells up like a wave
More than I can contain
Splashing forth onto my loved ones
And into my prayers
to the One who loves me MORE than
I will ever comprehend

anniversary weekend












What a nice anniversary weekend.

Nice weather.
Nice walks in the park.
Nice steak dinner.
But most of all, the best company at my side.
