Saw this mosaic in the new terminal at the airport. The office went to have our picture taken since the project is about done. Looks great! The mosaic is on the ceiling and looks just like you're looking up through birch trees!

My first quilt block!
I posted this on Facebook too but I didn't want anyone to miss it. I'm so excited about it!!! We used "triangle paper" so you just sew some lines, cut on some other lines and voila! Triangles! I'm going to use spray starch ALL THE TIME from now on-- stiff fabric is so easy to sew together and cut straight! I'm also learning it pays to go slow and do a good job-- hard to get good corners if you're cutting corners!

pumpkins!
Some friends and I carved pumpkins tonight! And we watched a scary
movie while our seeds were cooking! Mine's on the right-- I like
crooked smiles, what can I say?

Anchorage
the view from the nice flat rock! Got some fresh snow on the
mountains... a little sun here and there... nice day for a ride.
Rode around Lake Hood and then up to downtown to stop by the mall.

owl cookies!
Mom and Dad lovingly sent a batch of owl cookies and other halloween
goodies (and vitamin D). I think the 2nd best part of getting owl
cookies is the packaging! Seems like every year the parents try
something different-- it's not easy when the cookie is crumbly and you
don't want all the noses falling off! The first best part is eating
them, of course. ;-) Thanks guys!

Where'd he go?!?!
This dog was laying ouside the coffee shop (the picture is taken through the glass) until her owner stood up-- and then she waited and watched till he sat back down by the window. So cute.

Geese!
While I was walking into my apt building tonight I heard geese. But then I realized I was hearing A TON OF GEESE so I looked up. I've never seen this many at once before!!!

Close-up!
The resolution isn't so good... but you can see my supermodel pose.
And I think Walt tried it too. ;-)
Paul and Babe in Bemidji
<> I came across some old pictures on my
computer that I had scanned and then forgotten about. Fun to look back.
I like this one because of my supermodel pose. ;-)

canyon
We found this deep canyon on our drive tonight. No signs, no
railings, it was just there. So cool!

Hatcher Pass
Friday Walt and I drove up towards Hatcher Pass. Up to the snow line!
=-O This picture isn't black and white though it sure looks like it.
Time Bandit
We saw the Time Bandit in the harbor and took a stroll past it...
Very exciting. We talked to some guys on the dock and they said the
King crab season opens in 2 weeks-- everyone's gearing up and getting
ready to head to Dutch Harbor in a few days.
Fall colors again
Saturday before we picked up Mom and Dad we took a hike at Eklutna
Lake. It's so pretty there.
