Nice to meet you! I'm from Texas. When I graduated nursing school about a million years ago I gave myself the gift of a trip. Went to Alaska. Saw the Pribiloffs, Ketchican, and Juneau. Can't wait to come again. That is some of the most beautiful land I have ever seen, and some of the absolutely loveliest people. You are so fortunate to live there. I loved it so much, I actually tried to get a job there, but it was in the middle of the oil bust and nobody was hiring. I would love to see your quilts. you have such fabulous inspiration living up there! Do share!! Virg
