I'm hanging in the land of the midnight sun. The only problem I've had is that its always cloud (but light outside) There are no trees here just rolling hills and a few bears,moose, wolves, no bald eagles. The flying is OK, nothing too scary, I move drillrs out to their sites (3) and take them supplies when they need them. I live in a small hotel type building, with food made 3 time a day in the cafeteria. I have one more week left, I don't think my plans include staying way from Juneau when you and Kye are there but I'll try to stay out of the way as much as possible. Lots of bugs but I think they're starting to tapper off on their life cycle.
How it hanging in the South? Did you drive Grandpa crazy asking for the DSL? Have you gone to any more movies? My computer is on sometimes when I'm flying so I don't see you message until I get back from flying. The computer is in the office so I get to check my email usually in the morning and after my shift (4pm local)

the deck
How awesome is this?!!! AWESOME!!
John has finished the deck. Isn't is the most gorgeous thing you have ever seen? Can you tell I love it?
We had a little party to celebrate? But, it poured... oh well summer in Juneau? The hot tub is tucked in it's own little space, surrounded by great smelling ceder. If your in the hood, come check it out!
Celebration
Juneau was the site of Celebration 2008. A gathering of Native Alaskans/Indians from the Northwest region. Lots of great color in blankets/hats and traditional outfits....amazing drumming & traditional dance. Jack and I went to watch the opening parade... it was awsome! Jack has a buddy in one of the dance groups, unfortunately we missed him, but saw his folks.

Planting/Plans
It has been a huge month.... since my last pondering... we scrapped the big house and traveled 360 degrees back to the original plan of building the garage apt.
Done, the plans are drawn up... hope to get it ready for engineer in May, city in June, build in Sept. We shall seee....
I have turned to planting.... we had a week of pure sunshine! Felt like summer, it is at least spring in AK. My friend has a big greenhouse, I have basically taken it over and plan to be the green thumb. Last try @ tomatoes, in a big greenhouse... we shall seeeeee?

Trash & Travel
Working on taxes for 48hrs and putting together a picture book for the house. Leads my mind to wander.
I continue to ponder trash.... read No Impact Man. I have begun looking @ all the trash I produce and am astounded by the amt and I recycle most things. You can not buy anything that is not covered in plastic, surrounding by plastic or is contained in plastic. EGADS!
I actually ordered some bamboo silverware today... to go mobile with me... take out food, plastic silverware/plates etc. I have gotten into the habit of bringing my bags to the store... one small step....... trying to adapt a new habit every month. Leave one more thing out or try another idea.
The pending house project has me going "holy crap" Should we? Shouldn't we? Talk about waste.. yikes! We live in 1000 sq feet now.. comfortably... then we will find junk to fill up 2400 sq feet of space.. that needs to be cleaned, heated, etc. HMMMMM?
In financially getting ready for this project, I have been selling off stock, trying to sell Bisbee house and getting Spring rented... Now... I have a bunch of $$ sitting around screaming @ me... I mentioned to John the other day ... perhaps we should take off a year and cruise around... an early bucket list knock off.. We are all healthy, happy and wise. Jack is still a very likeable kid and might enjoy a journey (or not) Mentally pondering the idea?
Anyway, I am off to go talk to the tax man... this ideas may all go out the door after he tells me how much to write to Uncle Sam. Ick! Not my favorite uncle!

Nearing April
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 .....
