Alaska-Day Two-Icy Straight Point

The first stop we made was in Icy Straight Point. A very small town of about 876 people. There is one school all the kids go to. The town is very beautiful and scenic. Mountain and water combine for a great view no matter where you look.



There was a very cool nature trail that we walked. It wasn't very long, but it was beautiful and full of shades of green we just don't see here in the Southeast United State.



After being in Seattle and now Alaska I've decided I'm somewhat partial to the Northwest portion of the US. There is a crispness, clearness, I don't really know how to describe it, that envelopes me when I'm there. Maybe it's just because it's so different from where I am normally.

I'm already looking into another trip to Alaska. Not a cruise because we had such awesome weather and such a great time I know nothing could top it. But I would like to go back to Juneau and stay. Wait until I post some of those pics! Wow.

Missy's Sale

Just had to announce that my cp and friend Missy Tippens had sold another book to Steeple Hill!! I'm so thrilled for her. She reworked this book and they really liked it. Missy has great revision skills. I look at my work and think, "it's the only way this can happen." I need to learn from her.

Congratulations Missy!!!!

I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by Missy to tell 8 fun things about myself. So here goes:

1. Like Missy, I was a baton twirler and wore white go-go boots. I didn't know we had this in common. We'll have to talk about it!

2. I've worn glasses since I was in the first grade. I got contacts when I was 13.

3. I worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken for 4 years, from when I was 16-20.

4. I've gone to the same OBGYN for 22 years, the same eye doctor for 30 years, the same guy cut my hair for 27 years. I've worked with the poeple I'm working with for 18 years. Like my dad says, if it aint broke don't fix it.

5. My first car was a camaro.

6. Our dog is 15 years old, our cat is 12 years old(he's sitting on my lap right now!) and our bird is 18 years old.

7. The "d" key on my laptop is broke.

8. Today is my birthday.

Please Pray

This is a post to ask for prayer. Fellow author and speaker Kristy Dykes just found out she has a brain tumor. Please pray for her healing and peace during this time.

Psalm 16:1-3
Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. O my soul, you have said to the Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You. As for the saints who are on the earth, They are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.


We trust in the Lord. He delights in us. Kristy, we are praying.
