Holiday? You close down the plant for the holiday?! Marvelous!!

No No No!!! ;-)
Other plants see maintenance opportunities while personnel
are not on site.. and apparently could not foresee this mysterious
circumstance. Thus we are flooded with stuff to produce and ship.
But you knew that! Besides, it's all commerce!

A very special Merry Christmas to you, too!

I am going off line for a while. Hope you enjoyed your day, IssaquahKing! Great work, Dansangel - it was fun :)
Take care everybody

Wow - I hope to see Glacier Bay one day. Thanks for bringing it here.

Glacier Bay is one of the most awesomely beautiful places on Earth! We took a smaller boat (not one of the huge cruise ships) that can get really close to the glaciers.

At the entrance to the Bay which is a National Park we picked up a Park Ranger who accompanied us to the most scenic & interesting places......we saw whales; mountain goats; bears; seals; many kinds of birds & of course, the glaciers. The sound of the ice breaking off (calving) is something I still recall.

I'm sure you'll hear it one day when you visit Glacier Bay!

Hi Julie. I just have to jump into to your Alaska conversation with IssaquahKing. I wonder if the college you mentioned in Sitka is where Michener stayed while he was writing his novel "Alaska"? I seem to recall hearing something about that. When we were there we could see the college from a distance but didn't have time to go there. We enjoyed touring the town and seeing the artifacts at St. Michael's Cathedral. But, my favorite place of all was Ketchikan. We were fortunate to be there on one of the very few days of sunshine that they get during the year. I had just finished reading Alaska before we took our cruise and it made the visit to those towns so much more interesting.

Lori, we stayed at Sheldon Jackson College. We were living in CA at the time and our church sent volunteers every June to do work at the college.....painting, carpentry, landscaping, clerical, etc.

A Chamber Music Festival was going on & we attended many concerts in the evenings. It was the time of the longest days & still daylight at 10pm. As the musicians played, we could see many eagles soaring in the sky over Sitka Bay. Local people told us that the eagles were attracted to the music.

I do recall St. Michael's Cathedral and learning all about the Russian settlement. I think I recall hearing that Michener did stay at that college. I also read 'Alaska' before we went. It was rainy for half our week on Sitka but we were fortunate to have seven days of sunshine our second week in Juneau & Glacier Bay!

Yes, Sheldon Jackson College, that is where Michener stayed. That must have been a wonderful experience for you! I wish we could have seen more of Alaska, but the cruise ships don't stop long in each port, and I was very disappointed that we came so near Skagway and I didn't get to see it. Guess we will need to go back someday.

If I don't get a chance to talk to you before Christmas, I want to again wish you and yours a most joyous one. :-)

Lori: We had been told by friends that they were very frustrated that they spent so little time in each port & how they hated to get back on the ship.....so we chose a three day cruise to Glacier Bay & then spent more time exploring Juneau & Sitka on our own. Like you, hope to see more of that magnificant land someday!

Thanks for your wishes.....sending my own for a Blessed Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your family!

Georgio & I love his new Christmas graphic!

Thanks for making it!
