April is right around the corner.... the skis are clean and clear. Five days of sunshine... makes a Juneauite a little stir crazy.
Feeling abit manic. That is a good thing... work has gotten difficult in the last week. We went to electronic medical records.... I love computers!!
Jack and I did alot of travel back and forth to AZ in March, spent some time with the folks... worked here and there.
Last trip to Tucson was quite productive. Got the bisbee house cleaned out... still slowly getting rid a junk! It seems never ending.....
JACK and I had a bit of a bump in our week... leading to a few manical mommy moments, but I think we worked through it.
I have now become quite focused on finishing up my winter project.. as it looks like spring is aournd the corner. Don't like to spend much time inside the house during the summer.... my brain is already planting. I haven't decided how much energy I am going to put in my yard this summer. My brain says stop... but my mind says ... GO!
Stay tuned .....

Home away from home
Sitting here in my ever improving ...dang near cute guesthouse on Spring Street.
The kitchen turned out great! Paint.. huge improvedment from the previously orange walls. New sink... love it! It needs a few more homey touches like rugs and paintings and viola! Done! Phil.. did a great job on power... this place has plugs everywhere .... freakin exciting!
Work was okay... everyone in Tucson has the flu too..... even though it is in the paper and on the radio... people seem stunned to hear such news...I knew there was an outbreak and I don't even live here?
Had dinner with Maria tonight @ Kingfisher, yummy fish, fabulous company...we got to hang out, talk without the usual distractions! Missed Murph though... dang:(
Now... for the dirty work. Time to paw through all the remaining junk next door. Like do you want your old lacrosee stick? This is just one of the million questions I may pose over the next several days. Time to bring home the old cookie jar? I am pondering the idea.
Totally fried from last nights... late night... got in @ 2am... long day of sitting ..... then up and off to work. Jack is haning with Kyler on the mtn... I think he is happy!

Mardi gras
Fat Tuesday
Despite my grumbling and disgust because "no one was coming" We had a great Mardi Gras celebration. Nice mix of people, great food, plenty of hurricaines.
Not a stunning array of outfits, but I am beginning to realize... there are few people in the world that "like" to dress up.... okay maybe just me?
Last week we braved the financial markets, I basically got out of the stock market and we refinanced the Fritz Cove cabin. I am prepping all $$ toward MEN/Penn. Planning on selling the Bisbee shack.... Presently getting info about contructions loans. I can't say I get it yet... but I will soon.
Prepping for the mansion... this week I am going to call our contractor and see where we are at? We were able to get the survey done before all the weather. Excavator man, Brent was never able to do any dirt work, too cold, too frozen... winter in AK, we shall wait til Spring. This summer, I think the only utility left??? is electricity? I imagine the road will have to be beefed up for all the trucks/vehicles going up and down. Other than that... the lot.. is ready? Not sure we are ready?
Had a COLD week... wow...! then a nice dumping of a foot or snow or so... now it is raining? Ugh! We got the 2 feet of snow off the porch roof, never being quite sure how much weight on japanese joinery is okay? Taking advantage of the snow..I CC skied around the lake last week, cold but beautiful, then skate skied. Went 100 yards and gave up. Such perseverance! Oh well, they say it is hard when it is cold? I just think it is hard. I have another lesson this week!
Enough of the local update, someday pictures will accompany this exciting blog....stay tuned

Oh.... I'am sore...
Well there.......
Busy day, running around. I had my skate ski lesson, not sure I am going to be able to walk tomorrow. I didn't freeze to death in 10 degree weather. It was sunny and nice. Costco for Hurricaine ingrediants, hospital for a mtg, paid the mtg/land.
Talked to Mac today, nothing new... have to wait until you get home and then make some decisions. Got nothing done on the costumes today.... cross your fingers I'll stay motivated enough to finish. Hey .. invite RAY and company to the party.
Your picture on the net is a nice one... you look good. No double chin, not too shiny, looks professional or something.
Jack and I had a lovely breakfast dinner while you were out. Jack is suffering... every pet of a cat gives him a big ZAP!! It is a bit dry on the inside...
We are off to bed... I am exhausted and it is 9pm.
love, the panhandle folks
aka, Tropics of Alaska
Jack's computer gets to come to work with me. Hmmmmm, wonder why?

Baby It's cold outside
Arrive to -22 degrees in Fairbank. I had no idea the it was quie this big. we have no car so I think we'll be indoors at the Westmark the whole time. I see the fed dropped he rate another .5% who knows how that shakes out market drops anyway........ Not too much good shwag so far at the display guys but I'll keep my eye open for flashing light junk. Camera has no card in it so I don't have any pics so far to send along. Will check in tomorrow
Love Me
A balmy 9 degrees
I write from the tropics of Alaska.... especially compared to Fairbanks?! We are having a flurry of light fluffy snow along with our 9 degrees... weird?
Enjoyed your little spicey, sausage rice, bean combo last night. Yum! you are hired to cook for the party. I am plowing forward with masks and costumes... it is slowly coming together, probably not my best work.. but by no means my worst. Watched Phathom yesterday, loved the movie.. but not soooo inspiring from the black and white outfit perspective. I may decorate today and get together the hurricaine mixture. Thinking I need to drum up a few more chefs for the bash.
Jack and I did some homework last night, he is eating cereal and I am of course on the morning blog.
Stay warm in the far North, have fun!
