Saturday we went to one of the many farmers’ markets in Anchorage. It was drizzling, as has been the norm (the paper says it’s the fifth wettest July and August on record, so far), and there weren’t too many people there. I was hoping to see vegetables, but this market was mostly crafts, and nothing wrong with that. We’ll see vegetables at the state fair on Friday.
I bought a jar of sweet pickles from a vendor (peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, don’t knock them if you haven’t tried them) and saw two small green cloth baskets that I didn’t buy then but did when I was back in the area on Sunday to drop Sally off for her hike. One houses our TV remote and one is a catch-all by the sofa. It is currently filled with slips of paper listing possible activities for when John comes, which is today!! Yay! I just realized yesterday that his plane ETA of 9:55 this evening will actually be 1:55 am Tuesday morning, his time. He will be one tired guy. Bet he’ll be up in time for a hot dog lunch, though.
And speaking of lunch, Sally and I shared a good halibut burrito for lunch at the farmers’ market.
On our way home, the sun started to come out! Glory be! And it warmed up! Hallelujah! Sunday was mostly nice, too. Sally’s sunglasses were put to the test out on our balcony.
Today we are just piddling, straightening up a bit and washing towels, getting ready for John. We are happy with our apartment, an assortment of Amazon, thrift store and Target items. We’ve got beds and chairs. We’re looking forward to honing our hosting/tour guide skills on John, and we hope others will be visiting throughout the year.
