The Old Folks Home

[Alaskan]

Went for another 4 mile walk with the dog today. People are starting to come back now that it's "Spring" and there were so many people out today. I met quite a few of them, spent an hour talking to one old guy while our dogs played.

Maine, the way life should be.

Frozen solid? Oh, wait! You meant friendly !!! Right! (wouldn't know... well, maybe I would. .. several Maine people have come to Alaska, gotten to know me..... then left. They were nice )

You definitely get credit for that. However, the answers I was looking for were Aspirin and Heroin from Bayer.

Oh! I was going to guess Aspirin!

I had two brain dead roosters standing out in the snow. There is about 3-4 inches so far and still coming down. One was sitting on their outside roost the other was the bantam I moved over to that pen last night standing gazing longingly at his old run. He was up to his vent in snow, little idiot. I picked him up, cleaned the snow off his feet and stuffed him in my coat to thaw him out. Once he was warm I put him in the coop, turned around and he was right back in the snow gazing at the run. Guess he figured it was better to be beat up then be an outcast so I put him back with the bantam flock and told him not to get too damaged, we'd just got his eye healed up from the last free for all.

White Easter. I love it. I'm dreaming of a white Easter, just like the ones I used to know where the snow flakes glisten and people listen to hear Easter Bunnies floundering in the snow.....

Does he have shoes on?

I think it was a younger Son that went to church without shoes though....

I think it was a younger Son that went to church without shoes tough....

The older one is always cold... even though he is a bit fat and he usually wears 3 shirts and a thick coat... and always socks and shoes. Maybe because he was born in Texas... but we moved here before his second birthday.

The youngest is my barefoot child.
I have been working on the youngest to try to get him to wear shoes... He is getting better.

My Youngest DD is like that too. I had to make her get out of Lake tahoe--her lips were turning blue but she did not feel the cold

isn't that interesting how people can be so different?

My third was out today after church, in a sleeveless shirt, surrounded by snow and standing in snow, working on his snowmachine.

Al, that son of yours is a cutie and willing to stand in front of a congregation at his age and read the Epistle. Amazing young man.

I participated in a lay Sunday one year and got convinced I should read the New Testament reading for the week. I did it, Later told the pastor that I didn't know how he did that every week it was a large church and a little scary but I just employed the old mental exercise and imagined everyone sitting there in their underwear. He looked at me and the look on his face I thought I was in deep doo doo but instead, he said, Are you crazy? Have you looked closely at our congregation? Now THAT'S a scary thought!

Heh, the outside of Alaska looks a lot like the outside of Missouri today. I think a buggy went down the road earlier but not one car has ventured out nor has the snow plow.

My first eggs of the year! Pee-wee pullet ones, but a nice Easter surprise nonetheless.
