Glacier Bay & Juneau, Alaska

The first day we cruised into Glacier Bay and stopped to watching it watch the Marjerie Glacier for an hour or so. Jack and I took pictures of it from our room. It cracked and calved several times while we were there (cool) Then we turned the cruise ship around and sailed into Juneau. Notice how the city is built on the side of a mountain. People get here by floatplane.or water
It's good to feel cold again. I think it's in the fifties here.

Redwood trees

Northern Falifornia has lots of crops. The scenery in the Cascade Mountains is beautiful. The snow covered mountain was in northern California. We drove through the redwood national forest and took the picture of Jack's jeep driving though a giant redwood tree. We are in Seattle, Washington reeady to board the cruise ship for Alaska on Sunday.

Auburn, CA




Cheryl and Harold in Auburn, California

Harol and Cheryl Lnsing live in Auburn, Valifornia. Today Jack and I visited them. Notice the cattle, the bull they call Clyde. It bellows, is a gentle giant among the community just like Clyde so Harold and Cheryl named him after Clyde. Their backyard is very lovely. I took their picture earlier today. A good day for us. Thanks

Pagosa's Hot Springs, CO

Today is Saturday and a busy day at the Hot Springs. Gauge and Ben, Ricki and Rylee were on the tubes in the cool river that is beside the hot springs. The hot springs are great for what ails me. Marlys and her dad Wes at in their place. She is so cute and very quick to get to know her new family.

Pikes Peak

When we stopped in Colorado Springs, we met with Calli, Wes, Rylee, Gauge, and Marlys,2 years old. The kids rode the train to the top of Pike's Peak. The rest of us (4) stayed at the train station. Shirlee and I went on the walking trail that leads from the station to the top of Pike's Peak. We could then take a train down the mountain. This is a very good thing to do if anyone goes there they would love the walking trail.
