These are some of the fun portraits that Alan took while we were in Utah - You all know Fred, he got tooo crazy on a couple of them. Alan does great work and we had not had a professional portrait done in several years. Thanks Alan.

I am packed and ready to leave for Idaho Falls. The weather has turned blowing and snowing, so the decision may be to take the shuttle and stay with Alan's Mom overnight. I will miss Anya and Aaron and all the hugging, but I am ready to get back home. Especially since I have to travel for four weeks-January 14 to Feb 16 with one week back in Anchorage. I am going to Fort Hood Texas, Arkansas, Denver and Seattle. The trip is all business, except for two days in Arkansas.

It was a great time watching movies, sewing a couple of skirts, shoeshoeing, skiing, etc - boy it doesn't seem like we had time to sleep.

Once again I promise to write more frequently-weekly-in the Blog. Alan has showed me how to load photos - now if I can remember all that stuff until I get home!
