ANZAC day Alaska style

 some of you may know that  Saturday is Anzac day, that's    Australia and New Zealand Army Corp.  or Veterans day and memorial day rolled into one. - a public holiday.  One of  the things i like to do once in while is drive to Anchorage  where a bunch of kiwi's and Aussies  celebrate  ANZAC. day.  ( last year we  had a minutes silence)  then we get to have the first of the season BBQ hang out and have some good  Lamingtons and Pavlova and sausage rolls.   its wonderful. and alcohol of course.
( lamingtons  is soft white sponge  cake,  rolled in nearly set jello, then rolled in schreded cocconut. cut 2 inch square.)

So tomorrow night I am off to Anchorage, 350 miles each way just for a party. ( and maybe some shopping)
 and like last year there is snow in the forecast. you can imagine the face I am pulling right now.
 i got  the oil changed last week.  but i left my blizacks tires  on.

 photos when I get back.

Had to go write about going down to Anchortown and having it snow and LOOK WHAT YOU DID!

YOU made it snow. Thanks, Janet.
