Look at how good I am doing...

... at not keeping up the blog already this year!  Well the past few weeks have been full of adventures in town, house sitting, moving back home (PTA home, not oregon home), and planning for Hawaii.  Last week, we finally broke the -30 streak by warming up to -10.  Man it feels warm in comparison!  It dropped back down again for the weekend, then came up ABOVE FREEZING on tuesday!  Seriously thought I was in the tropics, since it was over 60 degrees warmer.  This too shall pass though, as it is now back to 20 below.  We did manage to get in a blizzard and a good solid dumping of snow in the past few days.  I think the trend for the rest of the week is single digits during the day, below zero at night, and clear.  Not too shabby for Alaska!
