AUG 20, 25.. A MOOSE VISIT TO OUR CONDO..

 We never know when one of our local Anchorage Moose will choose to stop by for a visit.

Patti and I were just relaxing early this evening, looking out at our lovely "Green Strip" from our living room.

When we have a Moose Sighting, 70% of the time it is Patti who sees the Moose and exclaims: "Cap! There is a Moose!"

Not today. In fact after I said to Patti "There is a Moose!" she got up from our living room couch and walked over to the above window and confirmed this evenings Moose visit.

When he looked up and saw me, this Yearling Moose was was on the go.

 

No! Oh No! I did not make any attempt to follow him! You never want to appear threatening to any wild animal.

Fun!

Here in Part 2, we will continue showing additional photos of The Dream Cruise that Tom and his grandson "Dec" sent to us.

Off we go!

You have to keep in mind that Woodward Avenue is NOT closed to the Public. So someone who "unwittingly" turned onto Woodward Avenue without realizing that The Dream Cruise was in progress, was in line for awhile.

We will call this a "Done Deal" for Part 2 of our two part Post of the 2025 Dream Cruise here on Google Blogspot.

Once again..

Thanks so very VERY Much Tom and "Dec" for your great photos. 

Thank you Ginny for being a part of this "Team Effort". Your assistance with the photos is invaluable!

What is the Woodward Dream Cruise?

Let's begin by checking out the official Dream Cruise website:

Below is what Wikipedia has to say:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward_Dream_Cruise

The Woodward Dream Cruise is an annual automotive enthusiast event held in the northern suburbs of Detroit. Held each year on the third Saturday in August, the Cruise runs along Woodward Avenue, a major thoroughfare in the region, from Ferndale to Pontiac.

Oh Yes! Oh Yes Indeed! We have published a fair number of Posts here on Google Blogspot about The Woodward Dream Cruise.

This Post has quite a few photos!

Our great friend from Laughlin, Nevada, Tom Tiger is back in Detroit visiting family and friends. 

Tom and his Grandson "Dec" are visiting the Dream Cruise today.

Tom's grandson is quite an athlete. Before the two of them headed over to check out The Dream Cruise, "Dec" played in a football game!

Now out and off to The Dream Cruise!

It is one, very nice day back in "The Motor City". Just a little bit "muggy" Tom said.

Tom, in a comment, pointed out that in the below photo you can see The Goodyear Blimp up in the sky.

O.K. 

We will call this a "Done Deal" for Part 1 of what will be a two part Post here on Google Blogspot.

Again..

Thanks so very VERY Much Tom and "Dec" for your great photos.

AUG 5, 25.. OUR FAVORITE ANCHORAGE LAUNDROMAT..

It has been a year since we made a trip to our favorite local Laundromat here in Anchorage. So the time had come to revisit it.

Our California King bed is very large so washing the large bedding takes a full service laundromat.

Below is our favorite laundromat. Actually it's the only one we use! Written as I giggle a little!

We have been having a pleasant Summer.

Below is what I mean about a large, full service, laundromat. 

It is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

I was absolutely amazed at this woman's laundry. She said that she does it as a commercial venue for many regular customers.

The two washers to the right are two of my favorites.

Below are my two large washers in use. Each load costs $8.75.

A little giggle. First I loaded dryer number 55 on the top right below. The minimum cost for a load is $3. 

Then I loaded the top left dryer, number 57. I then put the money into the bottom dryer number 58. When I pressed "Start" of course the bottom dryer where I deposited my money began to spin totally empty!

So I stopped dryer 58. Then I moved the load from dryer 57 down into dryer 58! All went well thereafter! 

Let me tell you. The management and the people who use this laundromat are really nice.

When it came time for me to fold up the bedding, here came four other customers to assist me!

Assist? No! 

They did the entire job including loading it into our truck out front!

Our top quilt is a real job to fold!

As the above two were folding the top quilt, two others were folding two sheets and a mattress cover behind them. 

I slipped them a $5 bill. They would NOT accept it! So I gave each of them a spiritual pocket stone that they really liked!

Back home and finished.

Smiles.
