As I mentioned in my last post, I’m having trouble keeping motivated with my walking and physical health. Its been a challenge. I have struggled since hurting my knee late last year, and I keep telling myself that I am going to try other forms of exercise, but I’ve failed to do it.
A Gal Reinventing Prepares for Halloween.
Time for a little check-in. My life has been chaotic lately. I haven’t had much opportunity to create or spend much time on the blog. Honestly, I’m functioning on autopilot. Thankfully, I had content from my recent adventures in Alaska for the blog. I hope you enjoyed catching up on my travels.
Final Alaskan Views by Gal Reinventing.
Our first full day at sea started with a late breakfast. Or at least late for this trip. We toured the ship’s kitchens, which included a special brunch, in the early afternoon. We wanted to ensure we were hungry for that 😀. We had a pretty chill day and spent…
This month’s “Don’t F*#! It Up Thursdays!” features a childhood favorite. Or at least a teenage favorite. I often forget how long ago my childhood actually was 😀
Views from Icy Strait Point by Gal Reinventing.
The final stop on our Alaskan cruise was Icy Strait Point, outside Hoonah, Alaska. This was the port I was least looking forward to. On our last cruise, we did a bear and whale tour.

Metal Art with a View by Gal Reinventing
Since our up-close glacier tour was canceled, we decided to explore downtown Juneau on our own. We visited Mendenhall Glacier a few years ago on a cruise, so we avoided the crowds and explored downtown instead. We had very little time in town on our previous visit.

Our first morning on board the Oasis of the Sea was not spectacular. After a pleasant dinner shortly after we boarded, everything took a turn for the worse.
Making Great Grandma Proud by Gal Reinventing
It is time for another Don’t F#!* It Up Thursday. This month I decided to tackle my Great Grandmother Fletcher’s Molasses Cookies. The crazy part is, I decided to shake things up and not make them as she did. I have always loved the flavor but have never been a fan of the thick, chewy texture of her roll-out cookies.
Beautiful Denali by Gal Reinventing.
Continuing Chaos in Alaska The second full day of our land tour in Alaska was chaotic. Options at our lodgings were limited, so we settled on the buffet. Buffets aren't my favorite, but our group decided it would give us the best chance to eat, get back to our rooms,…
