Something that Makes Me Feel Brave!

Something that makes me feel brave... trying something new!

I am so proud of CJ for NOT choosing a Coors Light when her plane was delayed in Seattle but instead trying an Alaskan White!  And she liked it!

Tip Tuesday ~ Charity

Charity is befitting of a kind and generous soul, just remember not to give away too much of your time, energy or money to the wrong cause, or the wrong people, or the right people too many times.

All young sons and daughters need to remember this bit of advice early and always! And you can never overdue it on sharing the love with those you love. Which I have heard the best way to share your love is by sharing your time! 

Halibut Supper in Seward

We ate supper in Seward after exploring Exit Glacier.  The girls May and Rachel had halibut for supper of which there was not a crumb left on their plates. They did not think they liked halibut but with one little taste they are hooked.
