ALASKA IS MY HOME

ALASKA

Alaska, the Great land.....
Land of the Midnight Sun.....
Arctic wonders, Breathtaking, Majestic, Grand.
Snowy peaks, infinate lakes, miles where rivers run.
Kissed by our Creator's graceful hand......
A snapshot from God's photo album of Heaven.

There is so much I would like to share about our great state of Alaska!! I have been here since 1969, and I love it!!*S*

Can't really imagine living anywhere else...even though hubby keeps telling me we are moving to a warmer climate someday!!*L*...

I could talk for pages about how much I love it here, so instead, I just thought I would show you some pics of the Natural Beauty I love so much!!*S*...

If you have any specific questions about the state, just email me, and I will get back to you with all the information I can!!*S*...Send email to: turtledove67@hotmail.com

These are my friends, Top Jimmy and Super Dave!!...Snowboarding is what they live for in the wintertime...In the background is the majestic, Mount McKinley!!
