Ski For Women

Ski for women is a fun, charitable event where women of all ages get together and ski for womens' charities...it is always held on Super Bowl Sunday (because seemingly this one of the worst days in the year for domestic violence).
Our team is called 'The World Beanies" because we are a group of women from all over the world! Here are Lisa and myself before the event.

Great fun...lots of laughing , chatting and skiing!

Beautiful views of Mount McKinley ( 150 miles away from Anchorage)...

Burns Supper 2011

We had a great time at the Burns Supper again this year.

Here I am doing the Loyal toast....I managed to survive even although public speaking is not my forte!

Ian spoke at the Burns Supper again-this time he did the Immortal Memory of Robbie Burns. It was a great speech and well received by the crowds...

Lots of Scottish country dancing!

Winter Wonderland

We have had less snow this winter, so we were delighted when we got a fresh fall of snow....so pretty!

Rory's 12th Birthday
