Went grocery shopping with Sister-in-law this morning. First pain in the butt was to go to my bank only to find out that the ATM card that I had made sure was activated last week did not work...the customer service lady even went to the ATM machine with me to be sure it was working (I have had this card for a year and the account was set up last year). Dan said on the phone the other day that he received new cards the other day but didn't know why....as it was a holiday today I'll have to wait until tomorrow the get it straightened out. Anyway...

yesterday while out riding around...needed a mental health break and time by myself....staying with family is great but....

Drove up to Capt. Cook State Park which is not far at all from here. I came across a great moose....nope I didn't kiss the moose....but at one point the moose was way to interested in what I was doing an started towards the edge of the road.

Stormy Lake

Checking me out

Deciding to take a closer look at me

Moving closer to the edge of the road...I was on the opposite side of the road

This is when I figured he was way to interested and com'n across the road...I left

Update: OMG!! grilled steaks on 'lil Brothers new grill after taking a drive down the road a piece so as to get cell service to call my snooky. Gosh I miss him not being here with me not just for the scenery and the experiences of Alaska, but he is the grill master at home, not me. I do all other kinds of cooking but grilling is his domain.
Grilling steak while overlooking the lake, nice warm breeze,....priceless!! Can't wait to live here on the lake but in our own home. Tomorrow...off to the builders to line things up. Miss ya hon, it isn't the same touring on my own...miss just being able to hop outta the vehicle for photo shots with you piloting behind the wheel.
