August was...

August was delightful.

Earthquake ~ 3.8

Woke me up and then I fell back asleep.  Almost like being back in Fairbanks.  Easy quake makes for no build up of nerves.

Up River

Happy Friday my friends.  May all your journeys upriver lead toward a peaceful evening.

My Face Eating at Ajimi

My  face was all smiles as we enjoyed a great meal at Ajimi Japanese Restaurant with our people when we were in Fairbanks last.  This also fits in the 'feeling brave' category for us as we do not frequently eat sushi.

It was a great meal and great company!

P.S. not everyone who was at supper is in the photos...

My Hands

It's a good feeling when my hands are included in a round of cheers surrounded by the hands of those I love.

Cheers my friends!

A stop for nourishing food at McKinley Creekside is a must when you road trip to Fairbanks in the summer months.

Love Is... Road Trips to Fairbanks

Love is a road trip to Fairbanks with my fella knowing our people are waiting for us at the end of the day.  Even in the rain and with a few areas of road construction, this is always a day well spent.

Kitchen Remodel

How is the kitchen remodel progress coming along you asked? While Josh and I enjoy large projects such as these and are normally the jump in gett’er done kind of folks, this time the fates seem to be dogging us with sunny days and other shiny objects. Plus there is something that has changed within me that drives my motivation to finish projects.

Near as I can figure it has to do with having an empty nest, you see when the nest is full, your dance card is ALWAYS full with all the requests from everyone in the household. But now that my nest is empty and my dance card seems to have fluttered off-stage, I stall and delay, thinking that if I complete this one project, this one dance, then what will I have to do once the dance has ended.

Enjoying the sunny days of summer are good but over enjoying is how Grasshopper got into trouble when the winter months arrived, so I best think about finishing the kitchen and finding another dance project partner.
