It’s been a good trip to Valdez. The weather has been pretty nice this week. We got snow today, though. It’s amazing how quickly it all changes. Yesterday was bright as can be and warm.
I hear Minnesota weather has been incredible. Dad tells me the ice on the lake went out. Yea! And I guess April and Amy enjoyed some 90 degree weather down in Iowa this weekend. I got to talk to all of them, plus Lo and Mom. It always helps when I can at least chat with everyone back home… especially when I’m away on the holiday.
This is the first Easter that none of us girls were home. No Easter bunny – nothing! Many of you might be saying, “The E. Bunny hasn’t visited me since I was 6.” Well, traditions die hard in the Aune household! And I’ll tell you, I’m planning to try my hardest to help Mr. E. Bunny find his way back to Black Bay Road next year!
I finished my quilt, and I think I’ll like it. I actually didn’t like it at all for a while, but it’s growing on me. It’s a “raggedy” quilt, so one side is smooth and the other is raggedy at the seams. The raggediness helps, as my seams are far from straight! 🙂 I’m going to post a few pictures of the quilt in the gallery for you to enjoy! http://www.bbryson.com/pictures/categories.php?cat_id=19&sessionid=837bd10e57cca3a0b5cac950690b6851
We’ll head out of Valdez around 8:30 tomorrow morning. If we’re able to get a rental car in Anchorage, we plan to go get some Costco stuff and mail it up. The plan is to get some of next years shopping… cereal, flour, canned goods, etc… done now. It’s really a big pain, so it’d be good to get it done. In the long run, it’ll save us a lot of money if we can be organized now. So much planning!
We’ll be back in Unalakleet tomorrow night, and we both take off on Friday. Bill will head to White Mountain and then Nome, and I’ll be going to New York. There’ll be plenty of work to do this week before we take off
Guess it’s time to think about packing up – and maybe having a little creme brulee. I totally already ate fruit pizza, but who’s counting?
Your quilt is adorable! I haven’t yet tackled such a project, but I’m thinking that I’ll have to soon because our dog has taken to chewing on the corners of blankets as we snuggle on the couch… she’s such a princess, but a pain all at once!
We had a nice Easter. Josh’s folks were at our place. I couldn’t blog because one of them had our computer at pretty much every waking moment. They are enthralled with high-speed internet. It’s pretty funny.
Anyway, glad to hear you had a good weekend!
Love,
Melissa
