Reasons and Rythmes – At Sea [08/21/2011]

We Are Family – At Sea [08/21/2011]

Brazzle Dazzle Day – Hubbard Glacier [08/16/2011]

Wet n’ Wild – Juneau [08/15/2011]

If They Could See Us Now – At Sea [08/07/2011]

My God…I’m a Country Girl -[08/02/2011]
This is the part o the blog where I make a confession, which might – quite possibly – cause my father to disown me (‘m sorry dad, I never meant to break your heart). I begin by saying this; It’s … Continue reading

Cold hands, warm heart – Hubbard Glacier [08/02/2011]
Most everyone knows by this point of my tumultuous relationship with Glacier Bay, Alaska. The reasons why I have so much difficulty are myriad and some would find them nonsensical so I won’t go into them here. What I will … Continue reading

On Tender-hooks – Sitka [07/27/2011]
