Well, here I am in Colorado again. While I was gone summer has come and with it the heat. It's not really heat - it just feels like it after being in the cooler north. It seems that almost the entire west has had a long winter and a slow spring. My rear hurts from all that sitting. I'm tired and dusty and both the Disreputable Dog and I have full blown hay fever. We are welcomed mightily by the rest of the pack. The Disreputable Cat comes bolting down the stairs along with the Parental Dog. When I take the dogs out for a walk both of them are wagging the tails fiercely, happy to be together again. My parents, too, are happy to see us.
The next day I open for the bookstore and find my boss already there brewing coffee. It seems, as the day wears on, that there was great deal of uncertainty that I would actually come back. Bets have clearly been made. Perhaps they, and you, knew what has taken me a little bit longer to see clearly - that I will be back in Alaska sooner then later.
PS - Pictures coming soon!!

Glad you're safely back!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back. It was fun following you down the highway - it seems you made it in near record time. Would love to see photos if you have any.
ReplyDeleteReading this last post gives me the chills (not bad chills, you know) - about returning to Alaska sooner than later.
[P.S. You might like my Alaska song!]
It was fantastic reading your account of the trip! Great, you made it back safely. Pictures! Pictures!

ReplyDeletesilver fox, indeed, I will get pictures up soonish! Promise. And I will check out your song, along with other posts since I'm much behind!
stepwise girl, thanks for de-lurking! And yes, pictures are coming!!
Welcome back, sounds like a grand adventure with a royal welcome. Your descriptions were perfect, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, my longest trip by land is a thousand miles shorter than this trip of yours! Your descriptions were great, but I have to agree with Stepwise Girl, I am waiting for pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, thanks! I have never been to any of those places, so it was great to see them.
ReplyDeleteBut, the space! The space! Sorry I'm a European living in a crowded place. Those big spaces brings us back to our real size... But you crossed it all!
