Welcome Home Amanda!

Amanda got in yesterday around noon.  She hadn't been to Juneau in almost three years!  Yikes!  Time flies...

I picked her up at the airport and we went to town to get her situated in her friend Kira's apartment.  Kira is in Europe for a month.  It's a cute little apartment in a house on 6th Street.  Then to the Hanger for lunch and out to Fred Meyers for provisions.  Amanda looks great!  And she is in good spirits.

She was going to take-in the Folk Festival last night and tonight we'll go out for supper.  She'll be working temporarily at Annie Kail's, a giftshop downtown where she was previously employed.  Sounds like the owners need to get out of town for a couple of weeks before the tourist season starts and Amanda thinks she'll be managing the place while they're gone.  She'll be here until mid-May at which time she'll up-stakes for Southern California - back to the Newman Foundation's camp for medically needy kids, the Painted Turtle.  Excellent.

Sure nice to have her in town...

Well, gonna fold some laundry and head over to the elders.  Bath day today for dad.  And then a workout.  And the sun is shining this morning.  Life is good.
