I LOVE these! Here’s looking at you, kid.
Can’t you just see your little guys wandering through the neighborhoods with these? As she says, don’t forget the eyeball in the back . . . gotta see what’s behind you, especially these days.
😉 Wayyyyyyyy too much fun.
Nana might not tell you this, but she has THREE pictures hanging in a show here in town. I hear they had to twist her arm to do it, but it’s well worth it, as she has a GREAT eye for FANTASTIC photos!
She couldn’t go to the reception tonight, so Papa and I went – and here they are, hanging in all their glory. Congrats Mama – I’m proud of you!

We had a guest speaker for morning worship today . . . he and his wife are part of the Amundsen Educational Center team, and also members of the church I attend. After the morning service the couple hosted us for a native Alaskan meal.
My granddaughter and I sampled pickled muk tuk (whale blubber), but bypassed the raw muk tuk. We ate three different kinds of salmon, dried, smoked (the BEST!) and baked. We ate rice with salmon/caribou stew over it. (YUMMO!) We sampled moose tongue (not TOO bad) and roasted black bear (YUMMO! although I DOUBT they used this recipe.) And, for dessert, in addition to traditional buffet dishes such as cheesecake and brownies, we tasted Eskimo Ice Cream and both prounounced it good.
I didn’t try the seal oil. Oh, but we both ate Pilot bread, which I had not tried before although it is readily available in the local groceries.
Adam and Shirleen cooked all day yesterday getting the native dishes ready for us to share. Then they ministered in both services as well! Shirleen is from a village far to the north of us – near Barrow, I think. She is in the last of her student teaching requirements before graduating college. Then they hope to minister in a bush village as pastor/teacher combo. OH! and they are expecting their first baby in April.
Entirely too much fun!

no, read that again, the moose did NOT say are you a TEEN PARENT, but are you a teen’S parent? That is, do you have one (or more) slovenly, snarky, snarly, oh, so much FUN teenager(s) living in your house?
Do you wonder WHAT, WHO, WHY, WHEN WHERE that teenager came from and (oh, please) when will they go back there again?
Do you have more mascara smudged cheeks tissues in your wastebasket than Dolly Parton?
Then, Lessa has just the thing for you . . . she is throwing a Comment Party at her parenting teens blog and FOUR people will win . . .
