Good morning, my friends. Welcome to July! It was cloudy for a good part of the morning, and so it was a good day to do some laundry. We'd already planned on Egg McMuffins. Is there a better way to start the day? It took the sting out of doing laundry just knowing we'd pre-reward ourselves with a sumptuous breakfast. And while I'd ordinarily entertain you with pictures of our food, today I'll break with tradition and show you the inside of this particular McDonald's. I liked these simple murals on the walls mainly, I ...

read more Good morning, my friends. Just after posting yesterday, I stepped outside for a few minutes. While I was out, I heard the distinctive call of a bald eagle. Taking a look around...holy-moly!...there were two perched on a roof not 50 yards away. So I grabbed my camera with the telephoto lens and captured this image. We've seen a few bald eagles on our trip, but this was the first time we got a really good look at them.

Hiya. Thank you so much, as always, for reading my blog posts. I appreciate it more than you know.
My story called The Power of Teamwork has been published in the June, 2025 issue of Orbit; a component of The Australia School Magazine. Orbit magazine is published especially for children aged 10 and 11 years.
I wrote the story in 2023, based on a true event involving snowboarders in British Columbia, aged 12 to 13 years of age. The boys worked together to save a young child that was dangling from the chair lift. It was mighty impressive how those ...

Good morning, my friends. Wonder of wonders! Miracle of miracles! The sun is shining this morning! Yay! We've been almost a full week in the gloom and drizzle. And, here in Homer, this seems to be a good place for walking. It'll be nice to be outside.

Good morning, my friends. We'll say good-bye to Seward this morning and make our way to Homer. We'll have four days in Homer before we backtrack along the roads we came in on. After Homer, we'll spend a couple of nights in Soldotna before making our way to Anchorage. This section of our trip has the most number of days in single spots.
The weather could be more cooperative, but it hasn't prevented us from doing anything we really wanted to do. Also, no one has died, and so we consider that good fortune. (I really ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. No one would be any more surprised than I am at the presence of a quilt shop in the tiny town of Seward. We parked on the main drag, and I walked a short distance to the front door.

Good afternoon, my friends. I told you I was taking tomorrow off from blogging because we have an early boat to catch. Still, I wanted to tell you about the stuff we did today while it's still fresh in my mind.
We started by driving into town to visit the Kenai Fjords National Park visitor center. I was able to pick up a refrigerator magnet there. On down the road, we would visit the Exit Glacier Area.

Good morning, my friends. We had a short drive to Seward yesterday. We were going to be early for our check-in, and so we'd planned a few stops along the way. Our first stop was here at Lower Summit Lake. Looking across...an idyllic setting. It's probably less inviting in winter.
