Today would have been mine and my late wife's 28th anniversary. Here are some pictures from out 20th anniversary trip, just before we found out about her health stuff. This is her at the Artic Circle and a couple of pictures of the trees at the Artic Circle in the next couple of posts, it never occurred to me that there would be trees of that size, I was expecting little short scrub brush. I have never been quite that far north, but I have also been impressed by the size of trees in picture at that latitude. I assume you had a great time on this trip, and I hope it was so. It was a fantastic trip, if you get the chance to go take it. Alaska is beautiful and the air is clean, like I remember from my childhood. We had so much fun!

At the end of the tour of Mt Denali National Park, the guide was telling us all that he did not think we were going to get to see a wolf as there were only one or two still in the park. When this wolf came up the road, so he just stopped and we waited. It crossed the road and went along side of the bus moving pretty fast. I had just barely enough time to stick my hand in the air, tilt the camera and snap the picture through the side window of the bus. We were amazed with the picture. (had a little extra light from the camera flash inside the bus) About three weeks after we got home, I heard a news report that it was official there were no more wolves in the park. That's a shame about no more wolves in the park. <looks around in a secretive manner> Any skinwalkers?

My oh so dexterous Wife slipped on our stairs yesterday and fractured her T5 vertebrae! Nothing like 8+ hours at the ER who boy. There is a reason her Uncle nicknamed her "Grace." Home now with pain meds and a back brace...it looks like some kind of armor lol.

Home now with pain meds and a back brace...it looks like some kind of armor lol. Prayers for you wife, hope that she heals fully with no permanent problems. I have about the same level of dexterity myself, so I do feel for her.
