so hubby is off to Anchortown to pick up his buddy from Ohio. He has just called from about 30 miles outside town to let me know he has made it through the mountains safely. Not sure what they are really going to do after T’s arrival. They don’t have a place to stay – hotel rates are HORRENDOUS right now – it is June, you see, and that means TOURISTS to fleece – right along with the locals if they are foolish enough to stay in? a hotel.

Instead, hubby has blow-up mattresses and sleeping bags in the back of the van – he forgot pillows, so while we were doing our weekly grandbaby shopping trip this morning before he left town, we picked up a couple of pillows the grands will like – batman and dora. heh.

Hubby and T have known each other since like the fifth grade. They followed different paths through school and afterward, but they always maintained a kinship. T was the best man at our wedding 37 years ago.

They plan to attend Sunday Market in the morning. Hubby is also armed with info and maps to the Three Barons Renaissance Fair. They may also stop at Crow Creek Mine in Girdwood to pan for gold. Not sure when I will see them. But I have Monday off (because I have to attend a conference the following Saturday) so will get to visit for a bit then.

T will be here until the 22nd. He and hubby will have a grand time – most of which I will not be able to share because of my work schedule. But I imagine that dinner times I will see both of them. heh.

Have a great weekend, everyone.
