Is this a love note to our long, snowy winters?
I’d like to think it is… I loved wandering past this SUV, I am sure that someone has had plenty of amazing winter adventures in this vehicle!

Wheel Good Food
A friend and I trekked over to the Park Strip the other day to give Wheel Good Food a try. We were already both avid Facebook followers/newsletter subscribers, but so far hadn’t done anything beyond drool over their menu and feel happy that fancy food trucks are finally arriving in Anchorage.
Indoor Market Inspiration
I’ve been thinking about my Seattle trip a lot – it is just such an inspiring city and so much fun to visit friends for a couple of days and explore! I’ve always loved Pike Place Market, and thought that we could do an Anchorage version by having an indoor market that could expand into an outdoor market in the summer. On my most recent visit to Seattle, I actually wandered into an indoor market that was even better than all of my imagining: Melrose Market.

Lisa in Watercolor
I stumbled upon Women of the 112th one day, and have watched it ever since to see when Lisa Murkowski’s portrait would be painted.
At last, here it is!
Happy Veteran’s Day
From former colleague, Kay Kesling:
“Wind storm took down the Anchorage Veteran’s Memorial flagpole. Best use of a crane that I’ve seen in a long time.”
Cool.
You can read more about it in the Anchorage Daily News: One man’s vision turns boom truck into makeshift flagpole on Park Strip.
Love Note: Peace
I spotted this at Valley of the Moon Park today.
I don’t know if it was a nod to Veteran’s day or just a love note/good thought for the world in general. Regardless, it’s lovely. Such a quiet, non-permanent kind of graffiti, with a simple, sweet sentiment.
Peace.
Loving Seattle
My “loving Anchorage” connection in this post is a little weak, except for loving the relatively close proximity of Seattle to Anchorage.
