It is difficult to even type these words out...
I've gone back and forth... what to say... how to say it...
My father passed away on April 21st....
The news came as such a shock....
In many ways... I can't believe it still....
I have learned about sorrow first hand...
He was such a good, good father...
I really do miss him... I ache to talk to him again...
to tell him thank you... to tell him I love him.
Isn't this picture of Redoubt fantastic.... it has been erupting on and off for weeks now,
we finally saw a bit of the ash come our way this past weekend.
OK, it's time to turn the boat over so Bob can sand, fill, sand, fiberglass, sand again, prime, sand, paint... you get the point... the bottom of the boat. Here is the boat off the cradle, and being held up by straps... ready to be turned over.
Here they go...
Up on it's side...
All the way over
This is the first moose we met as we arrived at the cabin.... her eyelashes were something else...long and kind of curly!!
We had to carry our things from the road to the cabin... the snow was so crunchy with a hard icy top which hadn't been touched all winter....
whooo hooo.... we're holding up our skirts as we walk to the car for church.... unfortunatly our car was stuck solid in the ice and after Bob worked for 2 hours to get us unstuck.... a neighbor came and pulled us out..... we didn't make it to church....

This was the wintery scene we found, as we drove into our neighborhood Sunday afternoon, coming home from church.... below zero temperature, pristine blue sky, misty clouds.....
and the alpenglow
Mr Moose.... he's found a treat....see his breath in the frosty air as he reaches for the crabapples
