The end of the year is drawing near! I have to admit that this year has gone faster than any other I remember. When I say that I start feeling old… that sounds like an old person thing to say. 😉
I start my journey to New York tomorrow evening. I’ll actually only get as far as Anchorage – happily I’ll get to see my long lost hotel family at the Courtyard. It’s been a while. 😉 Anyway, at 10:30 Saturday night I’ll hit LGU airport in New York, New York. Good times. I’ll try to blog from there.
I’ve been eating way too many gummy bears and kettle chips lately. Shopping at Costco is not a good thing – 6 lbs of gummy bears stairing me in the face each moring is awful. Tonight I made some Au Gratin potatoes from scratch! I was inspired after seeing Barb make some scalloped potatoes for Easter dinner. Very tasty.
You wouldn’t believe this daylight. It’s quarter ’til 10, and it might as well be 5:00 in the evening. I’m struggling with sleep at night, ironically – naps come easily during the day. 🙂
Ape’s got a dreaded trip to the dentist in the morning. I don’t hate the dentist, but I don’t remember it being a pleasant experience when we were young, either. She should do just fine with a quick cleaning. I need to get in, myself, but am a little leary of going here in Unalakleet. There’s an awful lot of silver walking around in the mouthes around here. I’m afraid I might have a cavity, too. Serves me right with those darn gummy bears. Alright – I’ll proclaim it here – no more gummy bears for me for the rest of my time in Alaska!
6 of our 7 boxes flew in today. That was pretty sweet! I realized I bought a lot of cereal. I think I could eat cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Food, food, food. Goodness.
Two of my favorite guys have birthdays coming up soon. Bill’s present came in the mail, and I had to give it to him. He got a set of 60 climbing holds for the wall he’s going to build. I am anxious for him to get started. It’s going to be fun. Dad’s birthday is 2 days after Bills. I suppose I’ll miss an ice cream cake!
Sounds like gas is going up, up, up down south. That’s not a good sign for my tubing plans!
Many of you know that spring is a busy, complicated time of year in schools and for teachers. Quite a few of my friends and family will be looking for new jobs due to cut backs and various other reasons. Keep your fingers crossed for them all!

Hi, dear!
I LOVE gummi bears… and licorice! They are my nemesis, though they are fat free!
Today is the day our principal is coming around to talk to all of those who will be affected by this year’s cuts. So far, I haven’t seen him, and my prep is almost over. However, I would be lying if I said I was making myself easy to find, too! We’ll see what happens. I hate this time of year for this reason. Ugh!
I can’t wait to hear about your trip to NYC. We’re really getting excited for our vacation to that part of the country. It’s hard to believe that we’ll be leaving in only seven weeks! We’d better get a move on with our plans and reservations. Gas prices are making it a more expensive trip that we had originally planned, but we’re going nonetheless.
Travel safely!
Love,
Melissa
