Sharing
I would like to share with you a little tid-bit about myself ~ I like a clean house. I more than like it, I love it! A clean house especially a clean kitchen makes me giddy. Order and organization are a must. I know most of you are laughing and saying to yourselves "say it isn't so, you never would have guessed that about me".
I know gross isn't it!
Well I could not take it any more!
All cleaned up and ready for the next meal.

You Know it's Getting Close to Spring
You know it’s getting close to springtime in Alaska as the crazy people start to come out of hiding and try to rejoin society and all the social norms we have grown to know and love. Granted Alaska is cold and dark for three straight months and these environmental effects can affect us in different ways.
I would like to share with you an email I received recently. These types of emails and phone calls are not uncommon in my work place. The funny thing is I work at a university where one of our main missions is to educate, I wonder what type of education the folks who sent this email might need?
Have a read and let me know what you think?
“I was referred to your department by the Alcohol Beverage Control Board.
My husband and I feel he was poisoned for over a year by a local bartender. Once we suspected he was being poisoned we took a couple of samples and kept part of a glass to be tested at a later date. It is too expensive to send samples to be tested and wondered if you would be interested in having these samples as a project for one of your classes.
Thank you for your consideration.”

Post Number 401
The semester started with a rush yesterday. Disoriented students, lost classrooms and -36 degrees Fahrenheit kept us on our toes and in our boots. It is going to be a great semester.

Time Comes
A time comes when even smiles fade and all the light that you've seen dims into a quiet reflection of what youth thought it wanted to behold.
Years pass in endless waiting. Waiting for what you thought you wanted. Yet is what you wanted what you really need? Or is what you have all there is to have? Do you truly need anything more?

About Myself
When you are asked to describe yourself in a few short sentences what first comes to your mind? Your age, marital status, do you have children or pets? This is a tough question. I too have a difficult time with this task and often draw a blank and quizzical look on my face.
Here are two of the best About Myself blurbs that I have read as of late. Hope they make you smile too.
1) Married 37 years. Kids are grown and gone. 1 cat abandoned by son’s ex-girl friend, average life span of a cat is 16 years, only 12 years until death comes to visit – counting the days. Hobbies: Fly Fishing, Motorcycles
2) Married to the same fellow from boy to man and back again for fifty two years. Love him and our three children, my grandchildren and Milou our Westie, though not in any particular order, and seldom all on the same day.

Clear and a Million
The sky is clear and I can see a million miles from here. The blue goes on and on forever broken only by the first rays of sunrise.
I hope your view is as good as mine on this fine beginning to the day!

Midnight Clear
Upon a midnight clear I saw the visions of happy people laughing and dancing into the night till the wee hours of morning.
Upon a midnight clear in a forest of snow covered trees I saw a deer sleeping away the evening dreaming of warm summer feasts of green leaves.
Upon a midnight clear my heart drifted away on the breeze, thankful for all the blessings received past, present and future. Spring, summer, fall and even during the dark of winter, it's good to be here.

Our Pantry Gets a New Floor
Over the break we completed the pantry floor project. We took out the carpet (whoa gross) and put in laminate flooring that was leftover scraps from the main hallway and dining room when we re-floored those 12 years ago. Should have done this years ago.
