Grrrrrrr....

I will never type an entire post using the crazy window that available here. This is like the third time I've typed what I thought was a rather lengthy post only to get booted either by the blog or the internet in general and lose the whole thing! From now on I will type it all in a word document and then copy and paste. Am I a little peeved right now - oh yeah! Ok, so now I will go sulk in a corner or something!

???????

So my first question - why do I have to title my post? Sure I want to post something but I'm not always creative with titles. The stress level starts mounting just thinking about a catchy title. My solution - no title! How create is that? This way you have to read the blog. If my title isn't intereting enough you just might not bother to read what I have obviously taken so much time to write. Anyway....

I hear from the Ohio family that they actually have more snow than we do in Alaska! From the pics sent Ohio really got dumped on. Alaska is going thru a warm spell right now and we have lots of melted snow (i.e. water), lots of flooding, and some high winds - but the temperature is in the 40's. Normally that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing except I just got home from a week on Adak Island. And I brought with me a horrible cold. I've been dragging around the house all weekend - sleeping on the sofa, sleeping in the recliner, coughing, sneezing, sweating, freezing - and Jim isn't much better. He has a bad cold too.

Adak is really an interesting place, so to speak. The weather changes constantly - I'll try to attach a picture that shows a weather front moving in on us as we're driving down the road.

Hope J had a good birthday on the 4th. J (my J) had a miserable birthday on the 7th due to the previously mentioned colds in our house. His birthday dinner consisted of beef barley soup. It's about the best we could do considering we both feel so pitiful.

Hope all else is ok with everyone.

Love & hugs - we miss you all!
