Gifts from Alaska
The Dipper Kitchen's honey, pine salt and jelly awaited me.
I had no idea it was coming. Al's pal Karen moved to Alaska a few years back. She writes for a newspaper there.
I"ve since subscribed to the paper to read her articles.
Karen sat in my kitchen many a school night with Allison.
They are crazy kindred spirits.
Karen never studied, has a photographic memory and graduated with top honors.
The card she enclosed took Fireman's breath away.
I think we are going to plan a trip to Alaska.
There used to be a yarn by classic elite called
ALASKA, but it has been discontinued
There is a yarn store called
Far North Yarn Company in Alaska.
Their site shows these gorgeous Christmas stockings:
AFNYC.com is their site.
They have a sister sight for the Far North German Shepard
Kennel that has amazing dog images.
Have you been to Alaska?
THANK you so much Karen for thinking of me.

I have not been to Alaska, but I have a friend that lived there for over 30 years (Anchorage). She loved it.
Some day maybe ----
Your treats look yummy.
My sisters and their husbands went to Alaska several years ago (land tour and cruise). They loved both methods of seeing Alaska.

I went almost 10 yrs ago with my father. We went on a cruise on the inside passage that left out of San Francisco. It was for 15 days. We then spent time in San Francisco (as that is where my mother's family was from and where my parents state --They courted--I have been quite a few times to SF).
My mother wanted to go but she also wanted to help my sister who had recently adopted at that time and my sister was essentially still recovering from cancer and a bone marrow transplant.
I was so fortunate to be able to go. Loved it and my husband wants to go. He went to NYC while I was in Alaska.
