A Brief Update

Well, it’s Monday…I’m tired…and pretty excited that this week is going to be short…and hopefully sweet!  
You may remember that I mentioned in this post that my sister and 2/3 of her kids would be visiting in December. Well…turns out that 3/3 of the kids are coming.  Meaning…ALL OF THEM.  I’m excited to be [...]

Dream a Little Dream

I’ve always wanted to travel through Europe.  And if you consider two layovers in the Frankfurt airport…I’ve been to Europe.

So…here you go…
*I read online today that we are on the verge of a waffle shortage.  Since I haven’t purchased a box of frozen waffles in years…I doubt this will affect me too much. 
*The [...]

Seriously

My trusty iPhone tells me that the current temperature in Eagle River, Alaska is a balmy -6.
Seriously.
Earlier it was -10. 
So, the good news is that it’s getting warmer. 
Seriously.
I’ve only been gone for two months…but it’s already hard for me to find a frame of reference for that. 
It was 45 degrees yesterday and I made a [...]
