I am home from Wasilla. We never zippered our parkas. Maybe winter will arrive, but it is not there yet.
I thought about you very much while I was laughing with my family. My grand-daughters are choosing their life plans. My DIL favors "Accounting" for Hannah who is in love with the ocean and animals but happens to excel in calculus. Whatever happened to the advice that we should all 'do what we love'? I suppose we would all be paupers in abusive relationships.
Whatever. I do know that practical choices are best. You and my DIL are both smart and special. You will get what you need by continuing to work hard and do what it takes to get by.
I visited the Iditarod headquarters and took pictures of the crispy sled dog heroes from the past. I forced my kids to pose with them. They were laughing.
I really do love Alaska and could easily adapt to it. It is changing, though...
B.R. keep imagining your next good job.
Or boyfriend. Imagine him. He is probably an Newfoundland puppy being born next week.
