“Working the Wait”…and our “Explore…”

July 30, 2008

Usually while in the mountains I do a lot of reading. I am reading a book and will get to that another day. Today I want to share about an article in Today’s Christian Woman; mayybe there is someone else who reads this that also needs these reassurances.
The article called, “Work the Wait: How I [...]

Lovely Days…

July 26, 2008

I am enjoying being with family – even though it is crowded. Andrew arrived late Thursday PM. It’s good to have him here. Yesterday I made a BIG buttermilk pancake breakfast for everyone. It takes longer to get it all together up here, but it was nice. Andrew’s observation of me and Mom in the [...]

NC – my heart lies here…

July 22, 2008

Our trip to NC did not exactly go as we planned…tourist traffic was AWFUL! We took an alternate route and pulled into C & J in Portsmouth as our bus was leaving for Logan (2-1/2 hours to make a 1-1/4 hour trip)…the next bus put us arriving after our plane left for Charlotte…We were put [...]

Quick note…

July 19, 2008

John and his folks went to a family reunion in Kennebunk today. John’s Uncle will take his folks back home. I stayed behind to clean, do laundry and think about packing to leave for NC. I have had a headache for 2 days…comes and goes…I’m ready for it to stay gone. Nothing much to report [...]

It’s the little things in life…

July 13, 2008

I amazed by how a few words can brighten or darken your day. John blessed me with words and I’m not even sure that he knows how they touched me. When I found out I was going to be the one going to CT to pick up his folks, I smiled and said, “You owe [...]

Excitement in every day life…

July 11, 2008

Before we went to Alaska I told John I thought we needed a new grill. His reply was something to the tune of “that one is fine, it isn’t that old…” (I calculated – it is 11 years old!) It was still working so I continued to use it and had done so several times [...]

It is HOT!!! And…a few more photos…

July 9, 2008

I finally feel like I am back in the right time zone. It has been extremely hot and humid here the past few days – upper 80’s and low to mid 90’s! That is not unusual for the South where everything has a/c, but it is not the norm for here. Thankfully, we have 2 [...]

Long Post – Lots of Pictures…

July 6, 2008

Well, I have managed to get the house somewhat back to normal – still a few things to put away. John and I both feel like we are still on Alaska time…I’m forcing myself to go to bed at 11 PM and up by 7 AM tomorrow to see if that helps. I don’t know [...]

M – I – A…

July 3, 2008

I’ve been MIA (MISSING IN ALASKA!!!) for the past week or so. I am home now and have tons of pictures (John does too). I hope to get some up tomorrow. It was an AMAZING trip! More info later…
