Kenai Visit with Don and Barb

We had a great visit with my high school classmate Don Soderstrom and his wife Barb today! They treated us to a grilled salmon lunch - with cookies. We had a lovely chat and walked on the beach at the end of the road at Captain Cook State Park. 

Don and Barb have a nice place and were surprised that we hadn't encountered any wildlife while out today. Mike and I were backing out of their driveway and what did we see? A caribou was directly behind us. 

Don is a terrific artist and gave me a piece of his art, an etching of fireweed. Mike coveted one of his wildlife etchings and came away with one of a moose. 

Thank you two so much for your hospitality. What a fantastic way to spend a beautiful day in Kenai!
