Hi everyone, so it's a rainy day here in Alaska, well not really rainy...it's sprinkling, compared to rain in BC. So I'm sure this rain will not help the forest fire ratings. I hope our summer isn't over...but the weather doesn't look good for the next week.
I have been working on pictures almost every day....missing a few....but on the days I take pictures I don't take one....there's always alot so I think it all works out.
We have been having some big feeling earthquakes, 2 the other night. I'm sure there are more but when your busy you don't usually feel them.
The kids have been busy in the lake swimming most day, so it's been nice to see the sunshine.
Well that's it for today, heading out for dinner soon, take care and have a great long weekend to all our Canadian Family and Friends....Monday we are having a party with DH's work for July 1st, then I guess we will celebrate July 4th as well....=)

June 25 2013
Oh my our summer is flying by, we have had warm warm weather, last week it cooled off a bit but today it's back to being warm.
DD took golf lessons and had a small tournament, and now DS and I are taking a couple lessons.
The kids have been doing a lot of swimming in the lake, and enjoying every minute of it. Seems so weird to be swimming on the lake so soon after the ice has thawed. But it's a shallow lake with not much movement.
We had our friends retirement party here, he was in the Canadian Military for 24 years, and now are on their way back to Newfoundland. We wish them luck and happiness on their new journey. Going to miss them.
We also had the farewell party for families leaving us here in Alaska and heading back to Canada. We will be having our Canada Day party soon.
I hope the weather staying nice for when our Canadian visitors come our way. Fingers crossed.
Well we are busy .... sorry I haven't been writing more... summer is here.... take care

Jun 9 2013 ~ Happy Birthday to my Grandma!!
Hi everyone, it's my Grandma's bday today, wish I could be there to celebrate with her but I just talked to her and it sounds like she had an amazing day.
It's been nice the last few day, that's probably why I haven't been posting the last few days. The kids have been enjoying their summer days, swimming and canoeing on the lake, if not riding their bikes.
I'm just looking out the window here by the computer and it's full of bugs, not sure what kind they are...but it's kind of gross to come in the screen door, because it's full of bugs as well.
It's a warm down by the lake even today, so summer is definitely here. I planted some flowers the other day, and they seem to be doing well, flowers are starting to bloom.
DH is in Vegas with some guy friends, so I hope it's not to hot for them....it's like double the temp for them. His friends are golfing, I can only imagine how hot it is. Hot fun in my books.
Well that's all for today Happy Sunday to everyone.

Happy Hump Day!! Mid week already in June, can't believe it. It's a beautiful day here in our neck of the woods, we have some clouds, but really not that bad. So with waking up at 10am, the days just seem to fly by.
On the weekend we went to the Farewell party for the Canadian families leaving for Canada on their next posting or retirement. It was misty rain, but the kids had a wonderful time. DS stayed home sick, we have been sick on and off since school ended. Hopefully we are all over it.....there's things to do.
Yesterday I had to set my alarm clock to get up in time for the Canadian Ladies coffee, we had a really big turn out, sometimes I wish others wouldn't go to our coffee shop on Tuesday mornings....=)
We ended up renting a room, seeings how it was a going away coffee with lots of people, we had 17 then 4 more, so it was another party.
So after I stopped to get some dirt and plants, I can't believe how much things cost here for plants....highway robbery. I came home and planted them, DD helped. Then the kids went out for a canoe ride. DD ends up swimming in the lake. It's still a big cold for my liking and the lake isn't really my swimming kind of lake. But they had fun.
Later we ran out of propane, so I headed to town, stopping at the first gas station to see if they had propane and they did, nice and close....=) for future reference. So we get ready to make steaks and the propane starts leaking and the propane hose freezes up. I hear the lecture about why didn't I go to town. Instead of the Mama and Papa place. Well it just had a bit to much propane....it all worked out.
DH left for Vegas with some guys, so he should be having a great time, he's the trip photographer, because he's not a golfer. I'm missing my Camera already.
Oh ya, been trying to keep my 365 day challenge going, it's so hard. Some days there's nothing to take a picture of, and then the next day I take tons. So I'm doing my best.
Well have a great day, take care
