Nice to hear that your grandfather is recovering, if more slowly than anyone would like. That sort of thing always takes longer the older we get.

You might be just a BIT early in calling Spring. I don't think that happens in February when you live in Alaska. It sure doesn't happen in Vermont! Think "middle of May" here. That is when the leaves pop on the trees. The grasses aren't even growing until the beginning of May. When "they" say spring starts on or around March 20th, they lie

Sorry to hear about the truck. There are always so many things hauling money out of the wallet, sure don't need "surprises" too.

Well, @Bruce you were right! Spring isn't coming until April now.It was in the 40's for about 3-days until yesterday, 3-feet snow fell last night and the other 23-inches coming tonight! Spent the morning shoveling and jumping off the 12-foot conex into the 4-feet snow. I thru my 4-year old brother off.

Yesterday I went to Anchorage with my dad and sister when we got the worst call, a dear friend of the whole family, relatives included died yesterday morning. I had only met her 2-times so I didn't know her that well but she was still dear to me. My grandparents, papa and nana, mom and dad, are having the hardest time. It is a huge shock! Trusting God!

We has someone coming to look at the truck to tell us what is wrong with it. Once we know what is wrong with it then we will decicded whether to sell it of keep it.

Remember saying this just a few days ago?

I will miss the pretty white snow tho.

Guess you won't be missing it now! 5' of snow in 2 days is a LOT!

Really sorry about the family friend. Must be really close with so many in the family affected.

Thanks for the reminder of what I said!
She was a really close friend but now she is gone.

I never in my life thought I would be "shoveling" this much, lol. Helped shovel my grandparents roof and around the house. I finally am gaining my strength back after not do a whole lot of hard work. The Sad thing is I am still a young teenager (but am turning a different age soon 3/8/17) and already have a bad back, UGH! Anyway, it felt great to get some actual hard work done!

Mom is headed to town and I have to cook dinner so gotta go.

A re-cap of what happened last night, the more I think about what happened the funnier it is so here you'll go!

So, at 11:00 at night ALL the children are getting ready for bed when dad opens the door and screams northern lights, everybody, outside...DS3, DS4, DB1, and DB2 go running out the door screaming "NORTHER LIGHTS" when it is 11:00 and the neighbors are asleep also without any shoes, coats, socks, nothing into 11-degree weather. They all came running back in from the cold 2-seconds later screaming again that their feet are cold, LOL. I get the camera and my coat, shoes, and gloves on when DS3, DS4, and DB2 come screaming once again inside saying there was a dog outside "trying to eat them", while DS4 and DB1 are still screaming DS3 is growling/yelling at our dog to get outside, at this point EVERYTHING was chaos so I finally get outside and I don't see a dog anywhere around. About 6-min later I here Boaz barking and growling...I ran over there and saw a 60-pound husky-mix near Boaz, I knew I had to get the kids inside so I told ODS1 to get the children inside because there was a dog right next to me they started screaming AGAIN, ugh! After they all got inside, I got Boaz to come to me and put my hand out for the dog to sniff me when ALL the children come running out again...as soon as they saw the dog next to me they started screaming again on their way back inside at this point I couldn't even get them to listen! I got the dog to let me pet it slightly when I sent Boaz back inside from there I was going to get inside slowing when ODS1 goes running to the trailer because of fear so the dog starts barking at me and I just kept eye contact and kept my hand out the whole time and kept backing up slowing towards the trailer, while I am out there with the dog barking at me while ODS1 is yelling at me to run...BIG NO NO!!! I finally get to the trailer and little ones are crying DS3 is mad and it is crazy!!!

I was when I got back inside

Pics coming soon!
