It's those little things that count!

Well, we're just about packed and busy finishing up last minute details before taking off tomorrow for Seattle to start the Alaskan Cruise.

I am so excited! Mr. Grocery Shopper is very excited too. Recently he had the opportunity to spend some time in one of his favorite "man" stores, Bass Pro Shop...where he made a few purchases for the trip. In addition to a two piece rainsuit that might come in handy on one of his Salmon/Halibut fishing trips, he got one of these nifty little thingys.......




Just in case you are like me and don't spend a lot of time in those kind of stores, I will explain what that is.....

It's a head lamp...kinda, sorta like what a miner might wear while deep down in the dark depths of the earth!

Stylish, huh!

I'll tell you, that Mr. Grocery Shopper is always thinkin'! He says he got it just in case we hit a glacier and have to jump on a lifeboat!

They'll be sure to find us with that beacon on his head!

Wellllllll, it could happen! ;)

But, seriously....I think it's daylight for about 23 hours a day right now in Alaska..isn't it?

He may need to save that handy-dandy headlamp for working underneath his Jeep after all!

    Well, they'll find HIM anyway!

    "I think it's daylight for about 23 hours a day right now in Alaska..isn't it?"

    Well, he's watching out for that 24th hour, slipping off the glacier!
