The Beluga Whales were in all week-can't tell that by my picture on Friday as I head to Soldotna...
Mountain views along the Seward Highway-south
At the pull out and looking towards Hope, Alaska
same area-enlarged the creek- gold mining was popular in this area
The bridge had a steady line of vehicles- mostly going south for the weekend.
Spent Saturday in Homer, Alaska with Becky and Katie. We enjoyed the best lunch and shopping Homer has to offer! Stayed out of the Salty Dog Saloon this time-didn't even buy myself a sweatshirt from there.
Always love this view and smell....needed my Homer fix for the year...
I made Katie and Becky pose...saying every tourist stands here....
of course the "landmark". I couldn't leave Homer without taking this picture....
Sunday morning at 8:30 Chris came home from work and we all headed to their new property....It was foggy, cleared off and then was beautiful all day. Caribou Hills will become the "gathering place" for all of us. This is their view - it will be directly out the front windows of their cabin- as soon as windows are put in.
Stages of the cabin being built...Chris is such a hard worker- he didn't expect to get as much done this weekend as we did :) Becky and I used the wheelbarrow to move gravel until the neighbor came with his tractor :) and we hammered nails until my arms hurt....somehow I deleted that picture as I hit the backspace button....John is the best "hard hat foreman" with all the tools and gadgets for the job:)
This is how we left it Sunday night- Becky and Chris went back up on Monday and put the floor down and placed plastic over that to keep it dry. His next long stent off work in October will be another work session...Might just be able to use it this winter-

That is alot accomplished on the cabin Deb. I sure hope you keep taking pictures as the cabin is built. It's interesting and I am thrilled for Chris, Becky, John and You. What a gathering place and getaway this will be. Homer, one of my favorite places in Alaska. I stare at the pictures you take...it all looks so familiar....
