Hello there, so tomorrow it's Halloween, it's hard to believe.  I have just picked up my Christmas cards/Photo cards from Costco today and will be working on my chain letter soon.  I will be cutting down my mailing list from 50cards going out, at $1.10 each it's getting pricey.  Love that the internet helps keep families and friends closer then ever.

Today my friend and I went to the gym, I'm getting excited that I can run on the treadmill for 30 mins, I have been loving getting back on track.  Love it here we have such a close knit of friends (spouses) who want to get out and explore our beautiful area. 

It's been mild still here, can't believe it's 45/17c degrees today and our lake isn't even started to freeze, they are calling for snow on Friday.  I'm getting so sick of the weather, well thats not true, I"m getting sick of the clouds in the sky so I can't see Northern Lights.....grrrr  My kids are getting sick of my saying maybe tonight I'll get to see the NLs. 

I love this new link it has an Alaska Aurora Webcam....

Well with High School hockey in full swing, I have to go and pick up my son, Go Mustangs Go!!  Their first game is next week, fingers crossed they have a great year.

Have a great day, and Happy Halloween tomorrow if I don't get back...=)

Oct 28 2013 - Hello from balmy Alaska

Hi everyone, it's been some time since I have posted anything here on my blog, we are doing amazing and are busy busy like always.

DS has made the Junior Varsity hockey team this year, so he's happy about that, but that means I have alot of driving around from now until February.

DD is loving middle school and is keeping busy with playing the key board, hanging with her friends and our weekly Sunday skating.

DH is working, playing hockey and enjoying all Alaska has to offer.

I'm back to hiking, going to the gym, and having a great time.

Last year this date the lake was 7 inches thick with ice and this year, it's mild mild mild, so different from last year, fingers crossed we get a white Christmas.

Well just wanted to add a quick update to our life in Alaska, we are loving it here....=)

bye for now

Oct 4 2013 - Happy Fall day!!

Hello my readers,

  So sorry it's been a while, but it's a beautiful fall day in Alaska.  Just looking out my window as I write, it's so pretty. 
  We have been busy here with school back in full swing.  I have started going to the gym, and have started back to hiking with the Canadian Ladies.  Today we took a 4 hour hike...with some rests and photo ops. 

here's one of my high up the mountain.  We hiked the face of Mt Baldy, then walked the ridge line, which we are on here in the picture. then we hiked down the bowl of Baldy.  It was suck a beautiful day, so peaceful, my friend and I were singing the Hills are alive with the sound of music, from the Sound of Music Movie.

We are dog sitting for a Canadian family right now, it has been nice to have a dog, but still don't want one.  He's a cute Boston Terrier.  Here's a picture of him.  He's a ball of energy, and loves his ball.

Well that's all for now, got to go and rest my legs....and do some crocheting, have a great weekend.
