We are home – the Boy and I.
I have a gazillion (or so) photos to download.
I have loads of laundry to process.
I am still trying to get used to that time difference in reverse.
We have stories to tell and things to share.
I’m very, very tired.
Off to my chair for a nap – will be back later to post pics, perhaps.
Thanks to all who thought of us while we were gone.
So glad to be back in cooler temps and (much) less traffic.
See you soon

He’ll be just
fine
the Boy, that is. He’ll be just fine. Honestly and truly. And you know that I would not lie to you, right? Right!
The Boy and I are off on our adventure to Washington, D.C. It’ll start with a trip up to Anchorage by road (please, no snow this time!), a viewing of my four (!!!) photos which were selected to be hung in the Fur Rondy Photo Contest (beeeg smile!)?and an overnight stay at a hotel close to the airport . . . then an early morning shower and mad dash to the airport to meet the girl’s chaperone at the airline desk by 6:30 a.m.
Flight leaves at 9.
Lessa
will
be
FINE
really and truly she will – you will, my girl. I was when you took off and went to New Yawk and when you went to Florida and then to Europe . . . TWICE . . . without me. I was when your sister did this very trip at the oh, so tender age of 14.
Really and truly I was fine.
just fine
after . . .
yup, you know.

see you the 11th! We’ll be just fine!

Toe Tappin’ Kinziebug
aka “Toeboe”
This week’s Brookston Photo Challenge is a woodwind instrument with an extra point if it is a real one. Extra points for humor – I’m trusting that the shot of Kinzie holding up cousin ‘Raiah’s (Raiah Rocks!) clarinet will bring a smile to all of you. I was going to call this entry “Toeboe” which would have been perfect if the instrument had been an oboe and not a clarinet. Ah, well. Toe Tapping Kinziebug works just as well. The clarinet was too heavy for her to support, and we all laughed at her inventive answer to that problem.
😉
The Girl (seen on the Flickr Bar) loves the clarinet that her daddy got for her. She is learning a lot in 6th grade band and hardly ever squeaks. But, even sweeter is that she enjoys sharing it with her little sister and her cousins. Buglet especially likes to toggle one key while The Girl plays – he loves to hear the warble that he can make by doing that. Surprisingly each one of the kids – TAT, D-bug and Buglet all got sound (!!!) out of the clarnet when they tried. Well, the Buglet didn’t get as much out of it when HE blew into it, but Kinzie is a natural.
