Sno-Machine or Sled?

Brian and Hope got a new sled and Brian and I went for a break-in ride today at Chena Lakes. Brian is going on the Tok to Dawson City (and back) run next week. the Cat is a lot more comfortable than my old Tundra. (It's faster too!)

Catch up Late entries

Here are a couple of Pictures from the past week.

Brian made it in from Haines Junction early Monday Morning. He didn't look too worse for wear.


Tonight I did get a picture of Philip, ready to go home, decked out for winter, sneaking a look at nana. I't's about -30 F tonight.

Glouster home of " The Perfect Storm"

Today we went to Gloucester. Known for their rich commercial fishing heritage and the Boat featured in the Movie the perfect Storm. Above is the Memorial for Fishermen Lost at Sea. For us it was a perfect day. We visited Museum and got to see Lobsters, Crabs, star fish and other creatures. We had lunch that included fresh sea food and a lobster roll. Yum. I'd rename it the Perfect day.

Look ma no clouds! Walking along next to the sea wall.

Drumlin Farm

We went to Drumlin farms yesterday. Here is Ada Painting a Pumpkin.

Ada also picked out Pumpkin. There were a lot of pumpkins to look through to find the perfect one.

Karl was patient .

Ada had it narrowed down to just a few.

After the perfect Pumpkin was located, odd looking squash were selected.

Then it was time for a hayride. Daddy held Karl. As you can see from Karl's red face it was a warm and sunny day.

Ada, Laura and Nana confer on the hay wagon.

This picture of a sleeping old guy reminds me of the homeless lady that we find at the Rust's house in Oregon when we visit. (the flash woke us up.) Cruel flash!

Ada Swims

We went to Ada's swim lessons.

More fun with Ada & Karl

Karl turns one. We enjoyed Karl's Birthday Party. Laura's Blog has great pictures of the party.

Here is the memory Quilt that Patsy made for Karls' 1st Birthday. If you click on the picture it will give you a larger picture and you can see some of the individual blocks.

Laura, Jeff, Ada, & Karl

Fun at Ada & Karl's

October 6. Patsy turned 65! Jeff and Laura helped us celebrate; taking us to Patsy's favorite restaurant, Out Back. After we got home we ate Laura's Apple crisp with cranberries topped with Ice cream. Yummmm. Happy Birthday Patsy.

Tonight we made Beef Rouladen and Patsy made the noodles. Yumm...
