Easy, …..Easy Like Sunday Morning… (on a Saturday)
Good Saturday morning from the Arctic. The not so gentle buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz of my cell phone pulled me from the last vestiges of sleep this morning. (Who am I kidding, I would happily have rolled over and gone back to sleep if the message hadn’t been different). It was David, our…

It’s been a while… a long while…
Well, despite pretty regular urging from Marty… “you need to blog” is a fairly common refrain… I can’t convince him to do it. But here’s a literal year in review. Last summer we visited Dave and Stacy in Fairbanks before returning home. We were only out of the village about three weeks. Upon our return…

Spring has SPRUNG…
June 4, 2024 Well it’s safe to say the last few weeks of school kept us hopping! We had cross country skiiers come in to teach our kids how to ski. Watching kids from ages 4 to 18 learn to navigate the tundra on skis was fun. We also loaded up any of the kids…

March (and February) Madness!!
April 10, 24 To say our lives have been wild recently is an understatement!! We cruised out of the darkness of winter where we thought we were busy, into a new year, a new season, and seemingly never-ending activity. I started writing this blog in late March… lol Since I’ve last posted we have been…

Busy busy busy!
It has been quite a while since I have blogged so please forgive the randomness of my anecdotes and memories. I’m sharing as they pop into my head. It has been a HECTIC few weeks! I had to attend principal’s meetings in Anchorage, and returned home to help plan and host our village’s basketball tournament (it is, from…

Happy New Years (eve)! WOW… Holiday break… MUCH NEEDED! I have definitely gone to work and dealt with work issues, the arrival of three new teachers tops the list! YAY!! But I have also taken some down time with Marty and honestly it has been wonderful, and easy, to sleep in and really rest (the fact that we…

December 20, 2023 Break officially started for students last Friday. Last Wednesday I left the region for the first time in 6 mos! Back in September I promised one of our wrestlers if she made it to state I would accompany her… at the time I didn’t realize she was any good… thus I found myself going…

Happy Birthday to me…and Happy Holidays from #Hallofus to YOU!
Today is my birthday, and while it was not exciting, Marty hurt his back helping me out at the school and I came home with a violent stomach bug last night, it was enjoyable for other reasons. I got to spend the entire day in my pajamas with my husband, granted it was -8 today…

GRATITUDE, WITH A SIDE OF MAC AND CHEESE & ALBUTEROL… AND THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
We just spent our first holiday in Noatak, and it was the first holiday we have spent 100 percent away from any family. THAT part of it had a few sad moments, but overall it was not difficult, we do find that as long as we are together we can figure out a way to…

Looks like Alaska is about to get “Real”…
The last two weeks or so have been hectic, we’ve had a volleyball tournament at school and end of quarter stuff going on. And the weather has been….. unexpected. Our early snows mostly dissipated, mostly fading off the roads and once again really revealing the tall grasses of the tundra. Our views have remained spectacular,…
