Glacier Bay, Alaska
Cold, windy, and mind-blowing. It's hard to describe the vastness of Alaska, but those three words capture the journey with my sisters along the Alaskan shores.
It was a blessed trip with ample time for shared stories and laughter, but it was wonderful to return to the Port of Seattle and step foot on solid ground. The high waves of 12' or more rocked the ship mercilessly every day of our trip.
Upon disembarking, hubby and I headed to the Spokane area of Washington to visit with my brother and his family for a few days. I'm the eldest of the crew, and this brother is #5. Again, we shared stories, enjoyed their garden, and talked of a family reunion in 2025. If you haven't guessed, my extended family is the size of a small city, and we have to plan far in advance to arrange for accommodations. 😊

On a sad note, before leaving Spokane, we received word that one of my sisters tested positive for Covid. We felt fine, but by the time we arrived at our home, not so. We tested and sure enough, both my husband and I were positive for Covid. Then the next day, my brother tested positive. Bummer!
We're all doing much better now, but this new variant is a demanding bugger, so take good care of yourselves. ❤️

You might recall that my prior post introduced The Gift. It will be released in two weeks, though it's available for preorder now. I explained that this novella is a fictional Christmas story involving three families. To add to the festivity, I hid three presents under a tree for three readers who identify the inspiration for the story.
Writers are inspired by almost anything. The smallest detail can capture our imagination and prompt a story. With The Gift, it was an emotion that sparked the story. That's my hint. 😊
