It is sweltering in Savannah this time of year!
Everyone is looking for a way to keep cool!
I thought this might be a good time to review our
50th anniversary tour of Alaska.
Grab a glass of iced tea and
come along, you might find it refreshing.

Sweet Old Bob was experiencing health problems during this time so our daughter went with us. Shortly after the trip Bob had brain surgery. His health has improved greatly and
he gets along very well now. For that we are very thankful.

Put your iced tea on the traytable,
buckle up and enjoy the ride .

| These are not super highways in the mountains, they are glaciers. |

| You can see the terminus of a glacier at the upper left. The gray water is called "rock water" due to the amount of ground rock suspended in the water. |

Ginger, Ahhhh.. that's better. So much cooler thanks to your "cool" photos and that tall glass of iced tea.
Thanks and have a great Wednesday,
Babs
My favorite cruise was the Alaskan one. Your pictures brought back wonderful memories.
It cooled me off - just what I needed - and I went to Alaska three years ago and so all this up close and personal. The glaciers are receding. And isn't that blue aqua color in them spectacular?
Amazing trip Ginger, my friend. I love glaziers...we were in the south of America, the Argentinian Patagonia and Chile in the most incredible glaziers in January. We went on a Celebrity Cruise. In the south, these are like Alaska. Enjoy your COOL trip. Lots of hugs. FABBY
Hi Ginger, We're not too hot yet up here in CT but I know it is coming soon! I would love to visit Alaska someday. My husband has been there and my daughter backpacked through the wilderness for a month a few years ago, and it was a wonderful experience! I'm planning a trip to Savannah with my mom who wants to revisit some of the sites she saw with my dad a number of years ago.. I'm waiting till it cools down a bit though--maybe in the fall! Linda
Beautiful images, Ginger...a sure fire cooler for a hot summer day. I didn't know that SweetOldBob had brain surgery. So did my husband...several years ago. It is life altering, isn't it? xo Diana
Ah, your photos were very refreshing. It's been hot here is SC, too. I've never been to Alaska, but it's on my bucket list.
What beautiful pictures!! I bet they are nothing compared to seeing it in person....maybe one day :)
I sure hope you and my sweet old Bob are doing well!
Take care and have a blessed week!
Having just been in Alaska earlier this month I feel the cool breeze right now. It was a spectacular trip and I hope to make more visits like you have Ginger.
It is hot today at my house and looking at your photos has made me feel cooler. I think I will look at them off and on all of this day.
I wish your Sweet Bob good health.
Smiles, Dottie
GORGEOUS!!!!!! This is breathtaking to me. Now, I want to go to Alaska.
Living inland of Savannah (read... hot with not a whiff of ocean breeze...) I sure could go there right now. Instead, I will have a cold glass of water and enjoy your pics again.
Dearest Ginger,
So glad to read that Bob is doing better since than! Health is the most precious thing in life.
On the border with Alaska, in British Columbia, our adopted daughter Liz is born. If I look at the harsh climatic conditions overthere, it is hard for me to imagine living there. I'm not good in cold areas. One time we did consulting in North Dakota in January and they had -40 degree Fahrenheit! NEVER again, I ended up having afterwards a six week long bronchitis.
But nature of course is breathtaking in Alaska and you don't go there in mid winter!
Lots of love,
Mariette
Ginger,
OMG! What gorgeous pictures. This is one place I have always wanted to visit. I can feel the cool breeze and the aqua glaciers look spectacular. Have a great day!
Hi lovely lady. I love your pictures just gorgeous sweet lady. Les and I had a free Alaska Cruise eight years ago we had a great time on the Holland America Line for 7 days ~~I hope you and your lovely family have a Great 4th.
XXOO Diane
