Ah, yes, a Nederbrock...not to be confused with a Heffalump... Many thanks to Mike for inviting me to an out-of-office gathering. Had a lot of fun!! And it just so happened that I really needed it that night...

The Arctic Valley

I was having a rough emotional night one evening recently and luckily Leyla, my friend and plant/flower guru and amazing person, was able to accompany me on a trip to Arctic Valley to watch the sunset and indulge in a little girl talk...I know, something that isn't too typical of Carolyn...but, things are different now.

And lastly, here's a picture of a nice shot of the moon above the Chugach mountains - the view from my balcony here in Anchorage.
