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!

Sorry to hear about the colds. That's not a very good birthday dinner...you'll have to have another one when he feels better. The other J had an interesting b-day. The power went out at 5pm that day, he had to hook up the generator, watch it, fill it, and switch things so we had heat, could pee, and keep the freezers cold, and it didn't come back on until 3pm the next day. Now thankfully I had most of dinner made. He wanted pigs and mashed potatoes. The pigs cooked in the crockpot all day and we made the white sauce and cooked the potatoes on the burner on the grill. No mashed though. His official b-day celebration will be Sunday. (L comes home on Thursday.) We'll be having fried chicken & fried homemade french fries (both are definitely a treat at our house), corn & german chocolate cake.
We did get a ton of snow. The actual count was 14-1/2 inches. It was liked an old fashioned snow storm from years gone by. Belden Village and the Strip closed early Saturday afternoon. Yep, it was that bad! J spent most of the day plowing the driveway and S & I played Peggle and cooked. Thank goodness we could get out yesterday. We also ate all day Saturday too. If we had to stay in the house another full day we wouldn't have been able to get out of the house. :) Take care and get better. Love to you
I hope you're feeling better by now....most importantly you need to be feeling better by the 14th! Cuz we all know how special that day is :) LOL!
I'm soooooo glad you are back from Adak!!!Lub u!
