GLACIER IN SEWARD ALASKA

What a wonderful photo. That's something I'd love to see - really love to see.

Great to look at - but BRRRRR. I couldn't handle the cold! (or the grizzly bears either, come to that!)

Interesting blog.
Has your sister ever watched the Iditarod ?

Yes Terratoonie, every year. It starts in Anchorage, and she owns a gift shop there and there are week long
festivities leading up to it.

That's really interesting.
It's Anchorage to Nome, I think ?
Would be great to see a pic. of the gift shop, and one showing the start of the race.
Maybe she'll lend you a few photos ?
Thanks. :o)

We were there at Seward in May and its a wonderful sight. We had a delicious meal of fresh fish, and had a tour of the settlement. We have lots of photos in our photos section on G.O.Y

Grenville ~ Did you do any fishing ? They have the biggest Salmon and so good fresh. Plus the view is incredible with bald eagles flying over you. Of course they have mosquitos as big as tupperware lids. LOL

Terratoonie ~ I will ask her for more pictures. She's lived there 20 yrs. and these are the first pictures she's sent.
It took years to get her into cyberspace, and the camera she's just starting to learn. LOL
Her daughter rented the shop to show her incredible stain glass work in, then my sister decided to buy the shop and it has done very very well. Esp. since so many cruise ships not stop in Anchorage.
Here is a sample of my nieces stain glass work she just made for my Birthday..

Harli ~
Wow. Those stained glass panels are so beautiful and colourful. My favourite is the sea-themes - Octopus etc.:o)

Grenville ~
Thanks. I'll check out your photos later on today after I've potted up plants I purchased yesterday! :o)

Terratoonie ~ My little sister would go on 2 or more cruises each year and one year found a glass Octupus on the Island of St. Thomas. Thereafter, she would look for other pieces to complete her Octopus Garden she had on her table. She died last Thanksgiving morning.

So very sorry to hear of the death of your little sister.
I looked at the Octopus Garden. What an amazing collection. She had a good knack for knowing which ornaments would match well together. :o)

I agree with TT - I love the Octopus and fish panels. How talented!

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your sister, Harli. You have good memories of her. Hang on to those.
