Harding lake is HOME

Liz my sis and Mike and I went to Harding Lake to see a house for sale. It has occurred to me that perhaps living at Harding Lake once Mike and I are retired would be fun. After all older folks than us lived there back in the day!!

Anyway we went to the lake and had a nice evening!! Liz and I took a swim and it was MARVELOUS!!

House is nice but rather spendy 275,000.00 not sure we want to spend that much!! I need to see the inside:)

Kayak Trip Down the Chena

This is MR Moose notice the small horns poking out? Mike told us that the male is usually darker than the female?? hmmm suave ??

Anyway he did not have a care in the world and was munching away yummo on those branches dude!!
Okay so looks like this was how they tried to save the river bank back in the day ... not so smart. But interesting none the less.

From Nordale we go Debbie and I...it is 11:30 .

This is a great picture of Debbie I think she may be enjoying her last summer in Alaska!!

Weekend with Deb

There are good times and then there are GREAT times!!! This was one of the GREAT times!! Mike and I had the opportunity to take Debbie Harrop to our cabin on clear creek. We left Friday night and came home Sunday (Mikes b-day) around noon.

We worked on the cabin hanging panels on the upstairs. We ate like kings! We canoed down the creek that was a blast. We ate like kings some more!!

Beautiful weather and lots of relaxing and fun, fun, fun !!!

Oh and Happy Happy Birthday Mike Woods!!

Totally a Boys DAY!!

Today was the BEST day with my boys ever!!

We started at the Museum and then went to the Botanical gardens.. okay well that was a joke.. we had lunch and I had to wrangle them in.. Lots of trains and bridges that were much more interesting than flowers!


Then we went to Pristines were Evan got a serious treasure a rose quartz, Peyton got some bird feathers.

Off to the tire store where OMG tires were the BEST thing EVER!!

Then we went to the train depot but it was closed bummer for Peyton!!

Had a great day I have to say they are the most amazing part of my retired life!! I love spending time with my favorite boys!!

Evan and Bebs adventure

Evan and I went to Creamers Field today.  It was a bit smokey but it was one of the best days we have ever had! 

It was amazing and beautiful, these are just a few of the pictures.  We probably hiked about 1.6 miles total. We only saw a red squirrel and some birds but the terrain was the best.  We will be going back to see what it looks like in the fall, winter and spring!!! We had a wonderful day!!

Hot Summer Day

Summer has been amazing this year!! We have had a bit of smoke, but not as bad as it could be and has been. 

I spent the day at Chena Lakes with my daughter, grandsons and there neighbor!! We had a wonderful relaxing day of laying in the sun and sand and taking a quick dip in the lake to cool down!! 

I think the boys had the best time!!

Down the River

Today was one of those BEST days EVER!! I was the luckiest girl in Fairbanks Alaska.  I went floating down the beautiful Chena River with my best friends.  We had one mild disturbance a fool in a Riverboat knocked deb and I in the drink!! Oh well we were on the shore line!! It was hot and the water was devine. 

We set off at my house around 12 PM and landed at Pikes around 3:30, where Mike met us and we enjoyed a burger and beverages.. the ending to a perfect day! 

Good times with Good friends...
