My apology for the long absence

Hello folks!

I know it has been quite some time since I posted and for that I'd like to apologize. The winter is still bitterly cold. The lazy sun generally comes up around 10:30am and heads back to bed around 3:30 pm. The nice thing is that you can tell she is starting to stay a little bit latter every day. That is always something to be happy about! I already have cabin fever and can't wait for the thaw in May. I must admit I have been granted a reprieve by the governor. I'll be heading to tropical islands for the next month or so. First to Okinawa for several weeks and then on to Guam for a few more. So, for those that talk to me regularly just be aware I'll be out of town/country/continent for a while, haha.

After that, I head immediately to Arctic Survival School. So, all told it will be a busy next few months for me and Sweetpea! Once I get back we'll begin regular updates and hopefully capture the transition from bitter Alaskan winter to incredible, if not far too short, summers!

So, until next time...
