Anchorage

7/18/10

Well, here we are in Anchorage and guess what, it is rainning. No one told us it rains so much up here. Yesterday, we actually got TWO DAYS OF SUNSHINE IN A ROW! We went to see town in the AM and early afternoon. Went to a Saturday open market and had fun. That is where we got the picture. Bought stuff and looked around. Had fun!! Found a park where we could let the dogs run so we spent time there--Jo and Maggie were in heaven. Went grocery shopping after that--we just can't seem to stop eating! Went square dancing in the evening with the Stardusters. Danced at the Anchorage Square and Round Dance Center. They had round speakers on the ceiling, and I have never heard sound that covered a floor that was as good as that! The caller, Mike, did some hexagon dancing--what fun! I'll have to work on that--with my dancers! Saw that the record for that date in Anchorage was 76*. No single person seemed to tell us that it rained and was cold here. Maybe we should have checked a little closer!
The down side is that I took a close look at my passenger side springs and hangers on the trailer, and the walking beam hanger has colapsed and needs replacing. I found a caller that has a welding shop and will call him this afternoon to see if he has time to work on it. If I was home, I could do it. But, I'm not home! One of those little bumps in the road of life--or one of the frost heaves of the road!!
Today we are headed to the laundry mat to do clothes.
