It is Wednesday morning and I'll be headed to Alaska today. I haven't tried to shut my suitcase, but when I do, I'll stand on the scale and hope that my suitcase meets the weight requirements!
I made a quick trip to the store last evening for last minute items. After I got home, Ringo, one of our young house dogs managed to eat a good chunk of the remote control. My son, Michael, had left it on the floor knowing good and well that Ringo eats and drinks almost anything! (Pencils, markers, tape, shoes, his leash, and many other items! Remind me to tell you about the time he drank some cleaning solution he found in a bucket!) I taped the remote together.
Looks like this afternoon will bring thundershowers into our area... Las week, my son and I put together a storm ready kit and got fresh batteries for the NOAA weather radio.
As I drink my morning coffee, it is 54 degrees.

Today is a good day to compare the weather in your area with what it is in Alaska. Looking at the 10 day forecast, we'll have some rain while we are on our journey. Remember those rain jackets and comfortable shoes! Some of my favorite days in Alaska in the summer have been rainy days! As a matter of fact, at the 2007 Summer Conference, we had the most awesome experience in the rain! We were in Talkeetna and having so much fun that despite the rain shower, we ate our meal in the rain! None of us minded!
I'll post a picture of that sometime today or tomorrow! But for now, I'd better finish up my packing, get the family rolling, feed the house dogs, feed the cat, clean out the refrigerator, do a load of laundry, scoop in the dog yard, sit on the lid of the suitcase, call my mom and dad.... and count my blessings as a journey begins.

you definitely have a wonderful way of writing with humor diane! I hope everything stays intact while your away...! so I compared b'ham to wasilla... basically we have the very same weather predicted. it has been a cold and rainy spring for us here. one day we broke a record for coldest spring day in 100 years! fortunately I have plenty of rain gear! have a great flight! ~jill :O)
Well, it's currently 107 here in Phoenix, but we've yet to hit the hottest part of the day. The forecast is for excessive heat through this week, cooling down next week to under 110. You know I'm looking forward to cooler temperatures...and RAIN would be outstanding! We get a little crazy here in Phoenix if it rains. We run to the windows, fling them opem, sniff the air, stick our hands out, run outside in it because we know it will last only a few minutes, and then be gone for a few months. So, I'd welcome the rain; but I hope it's perfect for everyone - maybe a little of everything, eh?
