Log Cabin Hospitality

Spent the night in a gorgeous log cabin in Homer, AK.
"Pat" adopted me while we were chatting at the Safeway.
I'm hitching a ride with her back to Soldatna as I make my way back to Anchorage.

This is the view from my window this morning.

View From My "Office" in Homer, AK....



Just outside the Pratt Museum in Homer ---

Cookie's Country Greenhouse...

Duncan House Diner - Homer, AK

Breakfast at the Duncan House Diner in Homer, AK. 
Note the Wisconsin license plate to the lower right of the neon clock.

Word on the street is the Duncan House Diner is the oldest diner in Homer, AK. 
I went off my normal grid and got Bud's Breakfast Burrito. 
Daily paper, chair rail, coffee -- perfect.


 When an order was up, the cook would blow a quick duck call from the kitchen.

 The diner is full of Alaskan artwork, signs and nick-nacks.

This morning's headline...  Yes, I was in Soldotna, but not there right now. 
Heading back there tomorrow.... A sad day for the locals.
Story HERE.

Feeling Blue...in a Good Kind of Way!

One of the more unique flowers in Norman Lowell's garden. 
He homesteaded just outside Anchor Point.

Approaching the 400-mile mark; Just Arrived in Homer

Anchor Point, AK

Made it to Homer and my brain is putty; as you can see 
I have no idea how to do simple math.
 I'll figure it out tomorrow.
