Smoke in the Air

The air is filled with the smell of fire. The Getty Fire is about 15 miles north of us. This is closer than any of the fires last week, so it stands that the smoke will be heavier. I shut the doors and don't go outside unless I have to.

Surgery awaits in January. Got an approval from the insurance but it expires Christmas Eve. So the referral people at the medical group will need to work their magic. Won't be anything big or exciting, but it's necessary.

I'm going to try out my Instant Pot tomorrow. That's scary for me. But if it goes well, it will be a great dinner.

Time change this weekend. Need it. Pounding my head on a wall again.

Peace and out.

More Alaska. More Rain.

 Was too cold to use the pool.

This is Seattle, before we left the dock. 

 This was part of a child's play area on deck 16 where the buffet was and if it was sunny and warm, would have been kids all over.

 Our patio, nice to sit on and watch the ocean...rather bumpy though on the open sea. Thank goodness for seasick meds and bracelets.

 Coming into Juneau

  We were parked in the furthest berth at Juneau. Had to bus it from town to get back to the boat.

 Weather improving

 Husband just enjoying his first free drink on the boat....endless cocktails

At the dock in Juneau. Wet and cold, and it didn't improve all day.

It's the largest state in the US and we only saw a small portion.

The best part of our Alaska Cruise for me.

Rainy days Pt 1.

Made it through the cruise. From cold wet rainy to glorious Sunshine. Whales. Glaciers, Endless Forests, A true Bucket List.
