I just had to tell you all about my special hubby and the blessing we had tonight!
Because dear, darling hubby worked the day of our anniversary, he choose tonight (his day off) to take me out to dinner to one of the fanciest places nearby. It was a Princess Lodge. Princess as in the Cruise Ship Princess. They have three lodges here in Alaska. They are totally upscale in an Alaskan way. I could go on about it....
Needless to say dinner was very special from the baked brie appetizer, thru the clam chowder (made from local clams), onto the seafood platter (again local), and finishing with the shared "Turtle Cheesecake" for dessert. Naturally, each course was complimented with a special wine.
The view was spectacular, overlooking the Internationally famous Kenai River, while we dined near a floor to cathedral ceiling stone fireplace in the log dining room. Soft symphony music mingled with the scent of fresh flowers on our table, caressing the soul. *sigh* Even though we were there three hours, it was over way too soon.
Now for the real blessing... TWINS!!!!!
On our way home, and only a quarter mile from the lodge, we saw a momma moose with twin calves. The babies couldn't have been more than a week old. They didn't stick around long enough for photos, but we got a good look at them none the less. This is the first set of twins I have seen in almost 15 years. They are not uncommon mind you, it is just rare to see them.
Well, it is past my bedtime, the wine has me mellowed and eyes drooping.
Thanks for listening.
