Alaska Reunion..

We were up early this morning. We had to be at the Hallmark store in the mall between 9 and 10am to pick up our free gifts. Of course we had to look at all the Christmas ornaments. The new item this year are row houses that light up and play tunes. They are so cute. As we were leaving we saw the Sweet Streets truck set up outside. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is an organization that donates part of their procedures from selling sweet treats to the Rely for Life. We got a carrot cake from them early this year and it was great. This time we got a cheese cake and a Carmel Apple tart. They are frozen and keep for awhile. We then headed to the outlet mall. They had a new Corella store open up there. We need a new set of dishes. Because of the arthritis in my hands, I tend to hit the plates on the edge of the counter and break them. We are down to only 6 plates left. We found one pattern we liked, so we purchase a couple of plates to see if we still liked them when we got home. We headed home and had some lunch. We were meeting our friends that we took the Alaskan cruise with in Allentown for dinner. There 20 of the 22 people that made it and we had a great time. Today's picture is of a bear we saw in Denali National Park digging for roots and stuff to eat in a river bed. We were not that close, I had a 300mm lens and I used the computer to zoom in further.
