Today has been a busy – delightful day. Met hubbymoose for breakfast when he got off work this morning. Then mid-morning I met up with two of my dear friends for a couple of hours of chatter and coffee. We laughed, talked, laughed some more, cried, talked, laughed some more. It is always a time of blessing when we get together. Thanks B and S. Love you.

Our usual Saturday afternoons are filled with shopping and lunch and grandkiddos. Today, however, we stepped outside of our box – and hubbymoose and I decided to take a drive up towards Cooper Landing.

The day was not a super sunshiny day . . . but the clouds were only spitting at us – no full downpours. Temps were warm and not too much wind. Perfect day. Lovely to spend it together.

Of course, we had the camera. 🙂

Made a stop at the Izaak Walton Campground to get a couple of shots of the Moose River.

Forget Me Nots and Dandelions . . . with bumble bees, even. Fun

Hubbymoose ventured onto the bridge over the Kenai River in Cooper Landing . . . wonder what he is looking for/at?

Rafters floating the upper Kenai River. Water is pretty high right now, so they probably stayed pretty dry. When hubbymoose, my sis and niece and I did this a few years ago – the water was lower, the “rapids” rushing . . . and we all got soaked. Great fun.

This shot was taken from the road above the Kenai River and Cooper Landing – it’s the road to the Princess Lodge. We found a nice little overlook to take some pictures.

This was a lovely interlude as hubbymoose leaves one job and starts another. We are unsure of his new schedule – he begins training early tomorrow morning.
