A long Autumn Drive.

Of course this picture should be at the end

but I thought I'd get back into showing

a few Halloween pictures again.

From our house depending on bathroom stops

It takes a little over 2 hours to get to Anchorage.

This was just one of those stops coming home
this is the first mountain pass.

Same stop only Mimi found more daylight.

Now all of my pictures are from a moving car

because I was out numbered for stopping

to take a picture.

that was just out of the question.

This was so beautiful.

Phil did stop for this one for me

the kids were asleep in the back.

this place always seems like the halfway

mark on the drive.

We went to Anchorage because Phil had to give a cabinetry bid

and find the kids winter coats.

The mall was a zoo with pfd's out.

Pfd's are a check you receive from the state.

every household member if you have lived in the state

for more than two years.

so for shop owners like me they are wonderful.

I found 4 beautiful cardigan sweaters

on the clearance rack and with the additional 40% off

I paid $6 ea. They were a cotton /cashmere blend.

gray,tan,red and Burgundy.
