Bill and I got up around 9:00 and took Rudy for a snowshoe walk out by the Valdez Glacier. Lazy snowflakes falling with high overcast initially, but by the time we got back to the truck it was coming down pretty steady. I love the snow. Much better than all the rain in November! We […]

Wow! Where did the time go?!? The holiday break went way too fast. We headed into Anchorage Friday, Dec 3oth. I was grousing because we didn’t get out of town until close to 10:00. Bill talked me into a quick stop at the post office for one last check for Katie’s Christmas present. We were […]

The past few days have been a nice mix of connecting with friends and stretches of down time. Last night we went to Richardsons for dinner and a little “Catch Phrase”. Katie had a group of girls spend the night. Nice connecting with her high school friends and finding out what they are all up […]

Katie, Bill and I all slept in late today. Nice not having an agenda that needed to get done. Bill checked the post office one more time for the last few Christmas packages coming in, but to no avail. I guess we’ll celebrate the holiday over a period of days. Once back home Bill plugged […]

Tonight a friend came over and we did some Christmas crafts together. Last fall when Bill and I went out cutting fire wood we came across some nice birch logs. I had him cut them down into 12″ size and slice them in half length wise. Tonight he drilled three holes in each. That’s where […]

It has been a crazy week of terrible weather. We were keeping fingers crossed whether Bill 3 and Katie would make it flying in on Saturday or not. The morning flight came in without a hitch. Thursday and Friday were a different story though. Rain, rain, rain from Wednesday on which caused incredible ice on […]

It’s hard to believe that 2005 is wrapping up. It’s true, the years go faster and faster the older you get…. I’m dabbling in a few projects that I need to finish up this week. A sewing project for Bill and Erin’s Christmas present, a block-of-the-month square that is due on Saturday, and I need […]
