Ok, so now that I FINALLY put a new post up - the one of our train ride/glacier tour - don't expect any new stuff for a week or two. We are off tonight to go to Kentucky for eight days. Rob has a convention and Caleb and I get to go. So I've never been to Kentucky. Not sure what to expect. I'm excited anyway. Nice to get away. We'll finally experience some summer weather! Yay!! See you when we get back!
I haven't blogged for awhile....mostly because I've been busy with a new puppy, a son on summer vacation and a little bit of company. More company coming. My summer so far has been, well, somewhat blah. I must say that Anchorage summers are, well, spring and fall-like. We had one day over 70 degrees. Most days are in the low to mid 50s. They say this is not a normal summer. Let's hope so!! It has rained and been gray so many days that when the sun comes out, i literally dash outside to soak it up. It has been hard for me to get used to - all the gray and chilliness. Caleb is much less affected by the blah-ness. He doesn't feel cold and doesn't seem to miss the sunshine. I was hoping to get some great sunny days in before the gray and blahness of winter set in.
So here's what i do to conquer the blues when they come....take long walks along the creek, play with our puppy, go on bike rides in the rain with Caleb (you should see the looks people give us), take long walks in the rain (i've had people offer a ride - not understanding i was doing this on purpose), go hiking (until a grizzly attack happened on the same path caleb and i take), go shopping. This winter i MUST take up some winter sports or i think i might actually become the poster girl for SAD (seasonal affective disorder). What do you think.....snowshoeing? skiing? snowboarding? (i've always wanted to learn that but fear i might break something in my middle age). Maybe i'll try all of them. I'll keep you all posted :).
