I popped into the Anchorage Museum Crafts Weekend on Sunday, and had a great time browsing the booths.

Holiday Tree Lighting
Last night we went to Anchorage Downtown Partnership’s holiday tree lighting ceremony for the first time. It was a bit chilly, but we bundled up, and the carols, Santa, real live reindeer, and of course, the tree lighting were well worth it.
Loving Seattle
My “loving Anchorage” connection in this post is a little weak, except for loving the relatively close proximity of Seattle to Anchorage.
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday DJ!
Cheers to another amazing year. I’m so glad I get to share my life and adventures with you.
Boys & Girls Club Gala, 70s Style
A month and a half ago, my husband and I were invited to the Boys and Girls Club Gala. Of course we accepted – it was a fun group of people and for a great cause.
