I just wanted to pop in here and leave a brief entry before we take off on our camping trip. I joked with a friend that we were looking forward to leaving some of this heat behind and enjoying some cooler weather. It’s been warm here in the Interior; today we reached nearly 75F. (All of you dealing with 100+, humor me, OK?)
Seriously though… 75F is almost uncomfortable. We don’t have AC in our homes here, and if I don’t lower the blinds and pull the lined drapes, it can warm up in the house pretty quickly. Don’t forget the sun is shining all day long, which means even more heat. Fortunately, sleeping weather is just perfect - 40s and 50s overnight. (more…)
I woke to drizzling rain yesterday morning, which put a damper (pun intended) on my plans to go walking with my friend Laura again. I had quite a few errands to tend to anyway, so I got an early start on them. I took Sedona with me for company, especially since PetCo was on my list of places to go.
I had to deliver some First Communion prints to a couple of people, so I drove up on Fort Wainwright first. As i headed towards the front gate, on my way off post, I passed by the old Bassett Army Community Hospital. I was amazed at how far they have come in tearing it down. In fact, as I drove by I could hear the wrecking ball smashing into the one remaining tall portion of the structure. For those readers who used to be stationed here at Fort Wainwright - you just wouldn’t believe how many changes have been made just in the last year or so! (more…)
I’ve been following Jane’s blog, ever since I dropped off my photo prints at her new store. I was unable to attend the grand opening event this past Friday, but was quite pleased to read her entry, and view the photos she posted of the store.
The transformation is amazing! They really worked their behinds off, to get everything in order for the opening. When I was there on Wednesday, there were still boxes of artisan handiwork on the floor, curtains needed to be hung, and a beautiful tree was being painted on a wall. Now it looks like a warm and inviting shop, with everything displayed in a perfect place. I’m very excited for Jane, Rachael & Laura, and wish them much success in their new endeavor. Check out their blog entry about the grand opening!
Here is a photo that Jane said I could share here with all of you. I just love the way she has all of my prints grouped together. The yellow wall really makes them stand out nicely. It all looks so cheerful! (If you click on the photo, it will enlarge even more, so you can get a little closer look at the prints on display.)
If you live local, I hope you’ll stop by and check out all the beautiful and artful creations at The Stash. Fairbanks is full of many talented people!
