Spring is here!

I will fly toAnchorage tomorrow for the week. Ron will take the week off to be "Mr. Mom".
Alyssa starts a job with Head start on Tuesday. She will work until the end of May. She has finished her senior year studies and so this will be a good thing to keep her busy until graduation, she will also be able to save some money for college next year.
Spring is well on its way here in the frozen north. Break-up is in full swing, which means mud, mud and more mud for us! The boys have gleefully surfed Alaska style in the 'lake' that formed in front of the mobile home when the snow first began to melt. They took a sled, floated it in the water and jumped on for a ride across the lake. It was lots of fun to watch. They also floated boats, rode their bikes and joyfully stomped in the just above freezing water. They spent a good long time cutting a path through the snowbank on the low side of the lake to allow it to drain. They were not successful, but were excited to see that the water had melted its own path a few days later. Now we just have a front yard full of muck and mud.
No new report on the house. Hurry up...and wait is the order of the day. We are concentrating on taking one day at a time, thankful for the blessings that God continues to shower upon us.
Thanks for the visit!
