Hubbymoose and I had a busy day today – I’ve taken the next several days off work for my birthday – today was packed.

After we got grands fed and off to school hubby and I went to the airport to greet a dear friend’s son and his bride-to-be. He has recently returned home from Afghanistan and this is his first trip back to Alaska. A crowd waited for him and shared hugs and smiles all around.

Welcome home, Jay – thank you for your service.

Afterwards we drove to Soldotna for eye appointments and then to the “mall” to get hubby’s glasses prescription filled. On our way into the parking lot we spotted something that I had to get a picture of – asked hubby to stop and then walked back to the driveway to get a clear shot:

Yup – the moose IS loose – and munching along near the sign. After all The Moose Is Loose is the place for ALL cool moose to hang out.

lol! Sent the pic to the Anchorage news station and it was shared during the weather portion. The weather person, Jackie Purcell, is my younger birthday twin. Anchorage’s mayor named tomorrow Jackie Purcell day! Pretty cool.

“AAAHHCHOO!” Matt liked to call them ‘religious experience’ sneezes. “If you have to sneeze, make it a good one,” he always said.

He shook his head watching in amazement as dust particles floated around him. His curly blond hair was coated in the stuff. He shook his head again and this time larger pieces dropped onto his shoulders.

Removing his safety goggles he looked around. “Whoa!” he whistled. Sheet rock from the ceiling lay crumbled about the room – the source of the dust. One ceiling beam swung loose.

“Guess it’s a good thing we signed that Hold Harmless agreement!”
