Maybe it's the hot weather, maybe just reminiscing, I'm not sure. But I've had
Alaska and my dear family there on my mind all morning.
I can't think of Amanda and Gregg without thinking of their housefull of creatures. Cats and dogs
galore and I love them all. Above, a few of us are waiting for her to come
downstairs. I think it's because they know they're adored, she says
they're only waiting for breakfast.

| Her and I the day I got there last summer. Turnagin Arm is in the background. |

| On my first trip to Alaska Gregg flew over Halibut Cove and pointed it out to me. The second trip they planned a surprise boat trip from Homer to the cove. What a blast! I don't know when I was on a boat last. This is an absolutely charming little village at the end of the cove with houses built up the mountainside and the ones near the water are built on a boardwalk. Art galleries, little shops, every different color - a feast for the eyes. On debarking we were met by the dog Pekoe who is the official greeter. We had the most delicious and gorgeous lunch at the Saltry. |

| I was so glad I could fly with them in their new plane. I even love the smell of planes. |
 |
| Ahh..........one of my favorite places on this earth - the beach at Homer Spit. |

| Starfish at Halibut Cove - they were beautiful. |

| On the boat. You would have thought I would have worn my dark glasses. Amanda got soaked! Thanks for letting me wander down memory lane. Hope you enjoyed it, too. And thanks again, Bean and Gregg. I love you. Mom Diane |
