Remember????

Back in January I posted inside photos of a home we were invited to as part of hubby's new business venture.

We were invited back this weekend. This time for an ice cream social. As the days are much longer now than they were in January - well, all right smarties, the days are still 24 hours long, BUT, the daylight lasts MUCH longer now - I decided to get you a shot of the outside of the home this time. It is so big that it did not fit into the entire view finder. But, you get the idea from it:

The home is on a private drive - a circular drive. There are a few other homes in the area - all of the same type of $$$.

Yes, it's beautiful.

No, it's not really my type of home.

But it's fun to be invited there. The owners are pretty down to earth - the rest of the invitees were "just folks" like us and that helps matters when it comes to mingling over the ice cream. ;-)

We headed back to Anchorage around 9:30 - the home is in Eagle River - to find the Bed & Breakfast filled with scrap-bookers having a weekend. ;-) Well, we had been forewarned that they would be there and had the run of the house. The hostess nicely provided me with a set of ear plugs! ;-) And, yes, I used them. The house did not get quiet until about 3:30 Saturday morning. I pulled the ear plugs out at that time and was able to get to sleep for real after that.

We were the first ones up - after our hostess - but two of the scrapbookers were up shortly after we arose. I was surprised at that. I think they might have gone to bed a bit earlier than most of the others. ;-)

Here are a couple of shots from the drive up to Anchorage Friday afternoon. It was a gloriously clear day. The snow is melting - at least at the roadsides - and the trees are beginning to bud out.

This is a spot alongside the Kenai River where I stopped to eat my lunch. I rolled the window down a bit on the river side of the car to hear the music of the water. It was quite peaceful and lovely. This is in Cooper Landing.



This is near Turnagain Pass. I thought you might enjoy seeing the blue, blue sky and the white that is still on these higher mountains.

Well, that's it for now. Hope you had a great weekend. Here's to a quiet and fulfilling work week. (hear, hear)
