New Background
I was searching for a new springtime maybe even an Easter background and came across this one instead. It is so me...sitting in recliner playing on laptop, pile of new magazines, watching HGTV, doggies curled up by my feet...wasting away the day! Sun is out bright this morning and I should be outside or cleaning windows and getting rid of the winter dust....but this more my idea of a Saturday morning......hope you are enjoying the last Saturday in March also!

Flat Lighting
on the drive along turnagain arm....avalanche crossed road days prior to John driving down.
Some of their tracks in this picture. Hope that helps some with the "RIDE ALASKA" terminology!!!!
Bald Eagle in the tree
See how the sky and snow just blends together? If it wasn't for some brown showing through it would be all whites.

Spencer Glacier
John, Chris and Brandon met and rode back to Spencer Glacier. John had tried three different days but weather prevented him from leaving the truck! Tuesday was their lucky day ( but it was flat lighting makes it hard to see) and all three even had the same the day off ! Here are a few of the pictures John took of Chris and this beautiful blue glacier.

Random pictures of my Girdwood weekend
The ladies in front of the wine window. Someone used my camera and she had to stand behind another window to take this picture. (her head is behind Becky) This is a a fun bunch of ladies -that I am happy to be included in their weekend get together. 
Our ride up the tram...Becky didn't like it at all...and I was snapping away with the camera.
All the ski tracks as seen out the tram window
groomed trail
Out the window of the restaurant - view of Girdwood and Turnagain Arm

Snowboarders and skiers and ME had an awesome day 
The best daughter in law I could ever have at our lunch table
My idea of a beautiful day to ski .....inside by the wine bottles!
Soaking up the Morning Sunshine before they go skiing 
Drive down along the arm...ice chunks look like the moon almost
pristine snowcapped mountain
it was this BLUE ....think this is in the Bird area

At Seven Glacier Restaurant
Lobster Bisque part one
This rates right up there as one of my best dining experiences. It was a perfect evening - rode the tram up at 5:30, had a white russian in the bar and then was seated in the dining room. It was daylight for another hour or so and then we watched the sun set over Turnagain Arm....rode the tram back down the mountain in pitch blackness and into the condo around 11:00pm... hot tub with a glass of wine was the ending of an amazing day!
and then he poured the creamy bisque over it...Becky's appetizer.
My appetizer was baby pear, blue cheese and cranberries, pecans glazed on endive. It was heavenly and I even ate the blue cheese slice!!!!
My dinner entree....scallops, shrimp,blue or purple cauliflower on a mixture of potato and cauliflower mashed..no idea what the greens in center were but tossed in the perfect blend of candied orange peel and spices.

I should of paid more attention to their orders so I could describe each one accurately but Lobster Hash Appetizer was a hit.

Placemat (probably) Color Combinations
This material is the back side/lining I guess it is called....has all the same colors so it matches perfectly.
Donna made this one when she was here...she sewed with no problems and I am sure my old Singer should be replaced AND if I would use it more than I do now -I would...
And this week I played around with more color combinations. Think I have settled on these three with the green/yellows being my last favorite one.
my favorite one- blue/oranges
and my second favorite one- brown/pinkish-oranges.
Wish the sewing fairy would come back here and finish these for me!

Here is the pic of the cute little knitted baby hat I made this week. Michelle is due the end of March and I will be giving this to "Allison." First time I used this pattern and it worked up easily. I added the felted pink flower from the embellishments I already had from Stamping up! Love that I can intermix my hobbies!
