I didn’t get many pictures from Grandpa’s Life Celebration for good measure, and I will say that it was absolutely wonderful to be in the same room with treasured family and friends to remember his life well lived. Grandpa lives on in our memories together and we’re so lucky to be in each other’s orbits.

May all your styling wishes be granted!

Kayaking around Yukon Island! (Sadie Cove in the distance and memories of many clamming and mussel-ing adventures with Grandpa.)

We totally tried kelp, thinking it would be the taste sensation of the century. It wasn’t. Salt water helped.

Xanna and Lisa took the kids kayaking too! At the Alaska SeaLife Center:)

Fresh perspectives at Jo and Peter’s…and hey, why not compliment the scene while you’re at it:)

Hi neighborhood mama moose! She and her baby visited us several times while we were in Homer:)

When your arms are just too long…flap happy!

We went fishing!

So many sea lions, grunting and groaning. I kind of want to grunt and groan through life too:) We saw orcas and sea otters too!
