TGIF Alamos

Mar 5th Friday. Tonight was the 1st TGIF since we’ve been here. It’s a pot-luck gathering of locals & their guests. BYOB too so it’s easy on the host. They used to have them weekly using a different home each week but I guess people got tired of it for awhile & needed a break.
I’m glad there was at least one that we could attend.

It was held at Diane Carpenter’s home up on a hill with the large patio that overlooks the whole of Alamos. The two domes of the church seemed so close as to be able to almost touch them. The timing of the TGIF’s are from 5pm – 7pm and this location was particularly pleasant from which to watch the colors of the sunset.

Diane is from a remote town in Alaska, Bethel, I think she returns there in the summers. There are several Alamos residents that go home to Alaska in the summer. It’s always interesting to talk with them. They all have unique experiences & Alaskan stories. Need I repeat; “We love Alaska”
