MY SPECIAL KIND OF DAY

My son and daughter-in-law John and Ann Lynn, and grandkids Simon and Ethan, are in Anchorage from Indiana helping my wife Marlene during her recovery from her shoulder operation while I’m in the legislative Special Session.

I got to come home for a weekend short visit. Not only that, I took my kids for their very first gold prospecting experience at Crow Creek near Girdwood. We found some gold flecks - but we still have to keep our day jobs. But what a thrill to share some Alaska adventure with my young’uns. And then . . .

We went trout fishing at Jewell Lake in Anchorage, and my grandkids caught their very first fish!! Today was, in a manner of speaking, “My Kind of Day!”
