Some Tidbits. . .

Just finished reading a book my good friend, Pam sent to me. To tell you the truth I'm not so sure I enjoyed reading it. . .yet, I think it was good for me. Its the story of 4 women diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of 30. The experiences they shared were all too familiar and I certainly found myself re-visiting some not so old memories. Its a poignant and honest book that I would recommend to every woman I know. You can read more about the book and the authors, as well as order it here.

My last day of work in Nome will be July 20th. . . and my first day in Anchorage will be August 6th. I'll have two weeks of leave time to get moved and settled in Anchorage. Some friends of mine are working on financing to purchase my home here in Nome and I am looking for my new home in Anchorage. I have a friend selling a house that I may end up getting, but right now I'm still looking. Its funny how attached I've become to my little home in Nome. Its been a really special place for me and I do love it. It will be nice to be able to pass it along to a friend if everything works out. Likewise, it will be nice to purchase from a friend too. She has a lovely little house and I think it would work out really nicely for me and all my furry kids.

And, my fuzzy little fro :)


A few weeks ago I wrote about Henry meeting friends on the beach. This is one of my favorite pictures of two precious little Eskimo boys who were quite taken by tiny Hank.


Henry and Leo looking so cute and innocent.


Well, at least Leo looks innocent. Henry seems to have some other motives. Kind of yuck. . . but, kind of funny too, don't you think?

This Saturday I'm heading to Southeast Alaska to meet up with my highschool girlfriend, Romy. We'll spend a few days each, in Ketchikan, Sitka, and Juneau, with one overnight on the ferry. I'm looking forward to really catching up with her and enjoying more of this incredible state. I'll have a couple of days before and after the trip to spend in Anchorage, probably house hunting and will be back home in Nome July 1st.
