Over the winter update 2018

Wow............how time flies! It is now May 2018!

Working at the school as Principal Aide still. Working with great teacher/principal couple!

Christmas break: Daisy stayed with Gramma Pam, Angus and the chicks stayed home. We put in a fenced back yard area and dog door..........my other neighbor came twice and day to feed, water and get Angus outside. They also got to enjoy all the fresh eggs they wanted for taking care of the girls.

So we went to North Carolina for Christmas. It was nice............no need to move there LOL!

Drove back to Alaska................Stopped in Frankfort Kentucky............just a few hundred miles out of our way so that I could purchase my own Christmas gift from Jon. A new Flip rigid heddle loom! Woot! Can't wait to make dishtowels! Larger width items. My other loom is only 12" great for scarves and cloths............

After that we went to (10 hours?) Michigan. Packed up some things we just couldn't live without.............such as more yarn, fabric and drum carder! Oh and to spend time with my Dear Daughter who I miss so much even though we text most every day.

From there we went straight through to Montana (23 hours) where Jon's daughter and soon to be son-in-law live. Stayed with them a couple of days. Oh how I love the blue skies of Montana!

Next stop was Kamiah Idaho (6 ish hours) to visit a friend. Stayed there a couple days and then on our way we go to Fort Nelson BC (20 some hours) to stay with Daisy's gramma Pam's daughter Heather.

After that it was a straight through drive to Fairbanks...........(yup you guessed it another 20 some hours). Spent the night. Got a good rest then the next morning got up had breakfast and a lot of shopping to get done! Then we had to go to pick up our truck that we drove to the airport when we left.

Home here we come only 3-4 hours to go!

I think we were gone almost a full 3 weeks. Boy that is just a long time to be away.

Came home to quite a lot of snow. Luckily we had another neighbor plow the driveway so that we could get in.

I will catch you up on more story in the next entry!
