Wednesday am, July 23

It is another cloudy rainy day in Alaska! But the weatherman said this weekend is to be nice again with the sun coming to visit! Yahoo!!!!

It has been cloudy since Monday and little sun....

Sunday evening we all decided to go try out Cold Stone Creamery in Soldatna after we ate supper. It was delicious!

Monday, the guys went fishing again and Bill didn't catch anything but the others didn't catch much either... the fish aren't finding them or something!

I sewed most of the afternoon and evening...it has been great having the sewing machine set up in the living room and being able to leave it up and not have to take it down every few days. I have gotten most of my projects done that I wanted to do here so that is an accomplishment! I started on some placemats that are called the "The Cotton Theory".... sew and quilt as you go so they are done when you have them together.... I am using fall fabric on one side and Christmas on the other.... in some different colors for me... getting out of my box actually! They are not hard to do but you have to really concentrate or lose your place!

Charlotte and I went to town yesterday morning and found a few Alaska gift shops..... we decided it was time for a donut at a bakery called "The Moose is Loose"....that place is heaven!!! So we were at the counter and the guys came in.... so they joined us before we seperated. Charlotte and I found some more souvenirs and also stopped at a greenhouse...OH MY GOSH!!!the flowers there were just gorgeous and so HUGE!!! The hanging baskets were taller than I am! They had so many different flowers in them and so pretty! I hope to get back there and take some pictures before we leave so I have proof! :) All the flowers here are so big and doing very well when the sun comes out to stay! You can tell a difference about their growing patterns when its rainy and cool.

The park had a potluck last night and of course it really began to rain when we headed over there for supper...so we ate salmon and then left.... they had it under a tent and it was cold and wet... the line of people was so long I'm surprised they had enough food left for everyone.....

Bill is fishing with the guys this am... Connie made it back from her visit with her new grandson and is sleeping right now.... She spent the night in the Anchorage airport and took a flight this am to Kenai. Anxious to talk to her and see pictures of the new little one.

So that is about our news for now.... have a good Wednesday or what is left of it for you!

Until next time!
