It's Opening Day...

Good luck to all the Yooper deer hunters!!! Thousands of miles away but November 15th will always be opening day for me! (A bit depressed that even though we are yoopers, we don't get the day off...lol)
Things here in St. Michael continue to go well. We are now deep into the cold and windy winter! We've had some sort of snow 4 out of the last 5 days, and our temps have been below freezing for over a week now.

The other night poor little Paco, Patty's dog, froze his tiny feet while outside doing his business. He came back in and was walking really funny. I asked Patty what she thought was wrong with him. I was sure he was having some sort of convulsions... but she assured me it was just that the pads of his feet were frozen. She rubbed his feet some and sure enough, he was back to his regular ornery self! I'll have to take some pictures of the little darlings one of these days. I came to Alaska loving Paco... however... Tiqa has really become my favorite... minus the garbage digging!

Here are some pictures taken from my hotel window in Anchorage.


I like Anchorage but wouldn't want to live there... just a perfect place to go shopping! (for Alaska anyway...) Thanksgiving is just flying up on us here. No major plans as of yet... Hard to believe but... one month from today we leave for Christmas break!!! I now have my room and plane reservations... extremely excited!!! ALOHA!!!!!!
