The show was good, but books are always better because they have more detail. DH enjoyed the show too, but didn't read the book. And @0106we just got home and loved the movie. I'm sure there will be some award nominations. Now I'm going to read the book and you're right, more detail is better. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flowers were everywhere around the McKinley Chalet and the wonderful eateries across from it. These marigolds were HUGE! The first 10 minutes of each hour the only park road closes to allow Dall Sheep to cross safely. Denali National Park was established to protect Dall Sheep. We saw a few of these prairie dog type critters. We didn’t seem to bother them at all. And our Grizzly Bear. Hard to find even with an arrow. But we watched him graze for at least 10 minutes. And it even stood on his hind legs and shook itself - making its fur glisten in the sun. An entire bus of adults quietly watched in awe. We had an amazing bus driver who was a dog musher and really is attempting to live off the land. She is celebrating getting an Ace Hardware within 20 miles of where she lives. I take a great deal for granted. Stay well everyone! Great pics. Thanks for sharing. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartzsite Cruiser Posted September 4, 2022 #78 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Just before sunset, we had a stray thunderstorm come through with high winds and hard rain. It didn't last long and dumped about 1/10 inch in just a few minutes. 2 hours ago, cat shepard said: Testing if my pic of the Great One posts successfully, I will add more pictures. Ann, you were extremely lucky to have such a clear day and great view of Denali. We always enjoy all the flowers in the far north. Thanks for the pictures.

Getting down to the wire going up the mountain and only have two more days to prepare. Today I made Chili and marinade for Chicken and washed veggies and Craig went shopping and everything is put away or frozen for our trek. Tomorrow is DM's 93rd Birthday and we are taking her to lunch. Yesterday I took her to a doctor's appointment and then to see her younger sister who is 90 and has been in the hospital and rehab for 3 months. She'll be released soon and DM has really wanted to see her. They both had tears in their eyes. They are from a family of 13 siblings and only 3 are left, all in their 90's. Amazing. There are some movies that are much better on the big screen. DH just said Hello Dolly is one of them. Jaws is another. Our neighborhood theater has retro movies and we have gone to a few. I hate, detest and avoid heights. When we were in Las Vegas we were on the 44th floor and I hated it the entire time, especially at night. I can't imagine going twice that high. I like pesto in small doses. When I buy store bought pesto I buy the Buttoni that @0106 mentioned, thank you! I keep it frozen and just use what I need each time. I do buy jarred pesto just to have it on hand. I sometimes make pesto without nuts and mix it with marinara and it's really good. This is my favorite recipe for that: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/michael-symon/spaghetti-with-quick-pesto-tomato-sauce-12342801 I hope everyone has a great weekend! See you soon from the mountain! Happy 93rd birthday to your mam today Sharon. G. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
