Jan 23 2013 ~ Mid week

Hi, it's mid week in Alaska, time seams to fly by, can't believe Jan is almost in our rear view mirror.  So it was a beautiful day here in Alaska today, we are getting more light every day and it's wonderful.  Here's a link to the first sun rise in Barrow, AK yesterday.....

Residents of Barrow, Alaska watched the sun climb above the horizon for the first time in 65 days, after it set on November 18, 2012. The sun skirted along the southern horizon for about 43 minutes today. Tomorrow it will remain above the horizon for 1 hour and 27 minutes. The amount of sunlight will rapidly increase in Barrow until May 10th, at which point the sun will remain above the horizon for 24 hours a day for nearly 3 months.

It was clear in Barrow today and a FAA webcam captured the short but welcome return of sunshine. Watch the sun trace across the horizon in the video below.

We have more light then that...and every day we get more and more. Looking forward to the summer, with light all day.  I say that now...I may change my mind this summer....=)

So yesterday I made some chocolate cupcakes, and today I made a pumpkin pie.

I talked to my Mom today and she got her phone bill, and will not be face-timing us, or my sisters, she got a $300 bill... so that sucks.    But I love Face Time, you get to see everyone....it make you feel like you are back at their house...etc. 

Oh ya it's 0c today, can't believe it, snow is melting again, hopefully Tubbing with the Canadian's will still be on, the kids can't wait to go.  We went back before Christmas and it was lots of fun.

Well have a great day, or night depending on what time you read this blog, take care bye for now
