Remembering Glacier Bay and our Alaska Trip

Another week and another AnnaLift had me thinking of Glacier Bay and our birding tour to Alaska. We cannot believe this was 30 years ago! It was amazing. The park brochure (in the layout) has marked on the map how much one of the glaciers had retreated since the 1890s. I don't want to find out how far they have retreated since we saw them. I also love looking at what I was wearing. The parka is one I made from a Frostline kit. I added a contrasting yoke in purple with chartreuse machine stitching. The hat I crocheted in my own design. I thought I was fat and out-of-shape then, but wish I could be like that now.

  1. Awesome photos and blending. What an adventure for you both! One of these days, we hope to go on an Alaskan cruise. Making your parka reminds me of our first trip to Jamaica...I made two bikini swimsuits and some "hot pants" for the trip. I, too, would love to go back to the size I was in those days!
