Labor Day Thoughts
After a morning of honey-do type things - which included the purchase of a new mattress for our bed (yay!) hubby and I decided to go for a drive - we didn’t really care where we ended up - we just set out on the road.
For the most part, I am the driver in our family. At least, I am whenever it is the two of us in the car. Hubby is content to sit back, relax, and let me be his chauffeur. Sometimes we quibble about WHERE we are going - today he told me that he didn’t care.
So I turned left towards the mountains and Anchorage late this afternoon - did not intend to go all the way to Anchorage as that is a loooooong trip to start that late in the day. Nope, just driving to be driving.
We stopped in Cooper Landing to deposit liquid and to pick up some liquid. Water, sillies!
Water is VERY important to everyone, but VERY, VERY important for diabetics.
As we left the little store and headed back for home, I took an unplanned detour by taking a left turn. “Have you ever seen the Cooper Landing post office?” I asked hubby. Nope, neither had I . . . so we drove a short way up Snug Harbor Rd. to see it.
Then we kept going - and going - and going some more. We reached the end of the pavement and decided we had not seen all that we wanted to see, so we kept going. After all, what is an Alaskan adventure with a few (10+) miles of gravel road????
Exactly!
This is where the water came in very handy. Driving on a dusty road is well, thirsty work. Hubby opened his bottle of water and drank with gusto. So good tasting at a time like this.
We finally reached the end of the road - at a small lake. We are thinking from this map that it is Upper Russian Lake.
Whatever the name - however far back that road went - the view was priceless. And, so was the time spent with hubby.
Hope you had the same sort of day.
water, diabetes, diabetic, fun day
