trying to catch up....


This is where I was from June 18th - July 18th. On Grover Lane... on the farm, which is nestled right up against Pioneer Peak... where I called home for 20 years!

Over the next few ... (however long it takes me)... I'll be posting some of the fun adventures of our trip, for the main purpose of "personal history". However, if you would like to check in now and then for a report, you can find them here soon.

This picture was taken on one of the first few mornings we were there. Me and my sister, ShaLene, took the kids for a little walk up the road collecting "Grover Lane Artifacts", sticks, flowers, pine needles, rocks, horse hairs and even a few mosquito bites.
Good times.

I'm back!!!

I've been home from my month long trip to Alaska for 5 days now, and I'm still adjusting to the time change... 4 hour difference. I don't feel tired until at least 2 am... and I need at least 8 hours of sleep before I even consider crawling out of my nest... so, you do the math! And the kids have been going to bed around 8:30-9am.... and they still sleep in til 10 or 11am. It's crazy!

Along with my jet-lag, I've also been a little cranky. I guess after a month of hardly seeing my children (because they were so busy playing with the cousins), this three vs. one ratio is a bit overwhelming... I miss having my sisters and mom around for constant companionship... and please don't remind me that it's 100 degrees outside!

But I need to get back to real life again... and so there will be more posts to come soon....

**** NOTEWORTHY NEWS: I unpacked my suitcases on day 2 of being home.
**** CONFESSION: the empty suitcases are still haphazardly stacked next to my bed.
**** JUSTIFICATION: The attic temperature is currently 3,000 degrees and I just can't get myself to go up there!
