Week-end in Homer

We drove to Homer for the week-end and had a great time. We stayed at a resort called Land's End. It is literally at the end of a "spit" of land that juts out into the Bay. The view was incredible with ocean and snow covered mountains on the other side.

Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about earthquakes, tsunami's and water. Well, let me tell you how narrow this spit was and I certainly gave the above much thought. And by the way, during the great Alaskan earthquake in 1964, the spit sank 7 feet. So, after Lee read me that, I had trouble sleeping.

It was, however, very awe inspiring. We saw seals playing and diving for fish, and many, many golden eagles. There is a woman called the Eagle Lady. She is the only person ever licensed to feed eagles. She does it every morning at 10am and there are hundreds of eagles. Some fly for 150 miles to get fed by her. She never misses.

It was a great week-end. We come to Lee's office each Sunday night to post, as the Debenhams have a family dinner and we like to give them their time together. It should be an easier week at work so not as much stress hopefully.

I am trying to plan my trip in early April to come for Shelly's baby. Now this little baby just needs to cooperate! Have a great week!
