Hello Everyone!
It's been a really eventful year for me so far. I got the flu for the first couple of weeks of it, and during that time, my desktop computer died. I've gotten better since, and replaced my computer.
Did you watch the last episode of the Amazing Race? I don't usually watch, but my daughter and I were enjoying seeing some of our favorite places on television. The Captain Cook statue that looks over the inlet is one of our favorite places to take walks to when we are pretending to be tourists. Sometimes we are so impressed by the sunsets that people ask us if it's our first time in Alaska!
This is a picture I took last fall from there of the Sleeping Lady.
