Just Thankful!

I'm just so thankful to have Vaughn working again. He started a job tonight at Target. YEAH!! It's a LONG TIME over due. There are so many things he needs to do! I'm so thankful he finally has a little life in his step. Thank you all for your support and prayers...don't stop. :)

Pictures from yesterday!

I finally figured out how to add these pictures that went with yesterdays post. :) I still need some help on how to arrange them though. Anyway, I just wanted to show we do have a beach in Anchorage where some people wear their swim suits, (and maybe shouldn't) and some of us don't. There is a reason some of us DON'T wear our bathing suites. You need blinders on for our white legs. :o)
It was another BEAUTIFUL day today. We broke another record of 80 degrees officially, but it was hotter than that at our house. It's delightful and very unusual for Anchorage. Lovin it, lovin it.

New Friend-Beautiful day

There is nothing quit like a new friend, beautiful sunshine and around 80 degrees and a walk around the lake. Plus...I'm on vacation for one more day. It's been delightful.

My friend Victoria and I have just connected. She's a real good listener and knows exactly how to ask the right question to get me going. We can talk about almost anything, and I feel very comfortable knowing she is there for me. We both miss our families back home and can relate to one another. It's a very nice good change in my life to have someone to open up to a little and do things with. (unfortunately once again, I wasn't able to get the pictures on here I wanted so...you'll just have to see them on my face book). Maybe one day, I'll find an easier way to get this to work the way I want and it won't be so complicated for me.

Vaughn and I have had a good time getting reacquainted these last few days while I've been on vacation. He is still not working but looking everyday. He's got a good heart and I know he will find what he likes one of these days.

Beautiful Trip to Alyeska

Vaughn and I took the day today and took a very nice beautiful trip to Alyeska, about 45 minute drive. It was a gorgeous day! We had a nice time going out for breakfast first, then drove to Alyeska. We took the gondola up the Mt. to 2300 feet where the view was absolutely fabulous! We took a few short trails around the top of the mountain, then went down the hill a little to watch the para sailers get their sails ready and run off the mountain and into the wild blue yonder flying like a bird. I love to just enjoy the fresh air and warm sunshine just watching them fly over the inlet. Some day I might actually try it, IF I get my nerve up.

I'm on vacation until next week, so we're hopefully going to do a few short fun trips. It's good for both of us to get out and enjoy life and have a change of pace.
