Feb 24 2014 ~ It's a beautiful day in our neck of the woods....=)

Good Afternoon,

it's a beautiful sunny day here in Alaska, with the snow, sun and blue sky I'm loving it.  So love the sun coming in the car today driving in to get groceries.  then now I'm sitting here looking out at the view.....amazing....cold but beautiful all wrapped into one.  I love it here.

We are getting more and more daylight as well and will take a pictures tomorrow morning...they post it on the news.

So what a week it's been watching the 2014 Olympics in Sochi Russia.....We are so proud of all the athletes....

Golds are the ones that count...=)

With being away from Canada we had less coverage of the olympics, but had many get times here in Alaska, cheering our Canadians Olympians on .... in the Men's and Women's Hockey Games both taking home the GOLD.....=)

DD had her Play performance.....they did OKLAHOMA!  it was great...she had so much fun, and will be signing up again next year and also will be taking Drama she says.....=)

After the show with friends

I celebrated a Birthday over the weekend.....sometimes you just try to forget your getting older....really don't think I'm this age already.  Time is just flying by.
