Alaskan's Journal

[Alaskan]

Walking to church this morning... I was almost late!!!! the path was so icy... I had to walk super slowly.

And yes, I took the time to snap this photo... almost 9am.

And sunrise was only two hours distant

Yeppers.... still Alaska... and it STILL snows in the winter time.



Pictures from today

Your pictures are breathtaking in their beauty. The church is a jewel in the frozen landscape. Simply lovely.

A series of photos of me driving down the driveway. It is hard to see the driveway in the photos... but it IS there, in each one.

Your driveway looks like a scene, miles from nowhere. LOL

Send some of that to Beijing Alaskan!

I went shopping today too... still lots of empty spots on the shelves...not an issue though... still food to be had.

When I left the store though wind picked up hard! Just that short bit of time from store to car and then loading groceries into the car, my fingers almost froze off!

I did have my mittens in my pocket... but was worried I would drop stuff on the ground if I loaded groceries from cart to car with mittens on...

Store was completely out of bags... and I hadn't seen mine in the car... I don't mind chunking stuff about without bags.. just fine.... but it is slower.


Balmy 7F.

I always have plenty of reusable bags in my car. That doesn't mean I always bring enough into the store! If not I just put the excess in the cart then move to a bag in the car. Happens more often than I would have guessed!

I found my radio hearing protectors. No matter how many times I looked in the freezer, they were not there. But they were under something on a 3 shelf rolling stand in the kitchen.

See? In the kitchen! I was just slightly off.

I have no idea why... but I can have a stack of bags in the car... and I don't remember to carry them inside.

This time I remembered to look for bags... but there weren't any! Sheesh!
