I made some delicious blueberry muffins with the blueberries we picked last week for our out of town guests. Scrumptious!

And yes, I know the rose is dead, but I still like it, so I'm keeping it!

The birch wood bowl was my anniversary gift this year from Stephen. It was our wood/iron/candy anniversary. He bought this bowl at the Saturday market in Anchorage. We like collecting Alaskan items like this.

Friday evening we went to dinner at the Arctic Roadrunner which has great burgers. We sat outside where Campbell Creek babbles past. As we munched our burgers, we watched a few unexpected dinner guests swimming past, upstream... Pretty cool!

Once again, we drove up to the Long Rifle Lodge with our guests. This eating establishment/gas station/motel overlooks the lovely Matanuska Glacier. We've been here so often, I think this bear has more pictures in our family scrapbook than some of our actual family members.

The day was pretty drizzly and overcast. But as time is limited to show them around, we aren't letting a little weather stand in the way of our Alaskan adventure. After our meal, some of them explored the glacier on foot and had a great time.

It's rainy again today, but we're headed down to the Kenai Peninsula for some fishing and maybe gold panning...
