North to Alaska!!

I flew with my 1 yr. old daughter from PA to Chicago, then to Seattle, then to Anchorage, AK.  We had a very small furnished apartment right off base.  No carpeting.  I hate used sofas, beds, etc.  I couldn't eat for a few days and when I did, it wasn't much and hard to keep down.  It looked like someone had kicked in the door since even though it was closed and locked, it came in a bit where the frame was.  Didn't feel very secure!  It was July so the weather was very nice.  But, due to longer day time hours, the sun came up very early and set very late.  The first morning I awoke thinking it was about 8 am and my husband was late for work.  I looked at the clock.  The time was 3 am!!!  I thought maybe our clock had stopped.  We had to have special darkening blinds on all the windows since the sun didn't set until about 10 pm.  Most people put aluminum foil to cover their windows so the children wouldn't wake up too early!!!  What a learning experience.

Been Away For Awhile - Sorry

I've been away and a bit busy to blog. Sorry. But hope to find some time to continue my moving adventures. Hope you had a blessed Christmas and wonderful new year. TH

Moved Again! 2010

It is August 2010 and we moved again. But, this time to a new home, our own. I love it. Hired packers this time since I'm gettin' too old for this stuff, but I still had to pack most items myself. Habit, I guess! LOL! We also hired a cleaning company so we could get our deposit back on the rental. But, I still had to sweep the floors before they came and remove any very obvious marks!! LOL! What can I say? Is it my pride? Oh, well. I'll have to post more later. Hope everyone enjoyed the summer and is getting ready for school and Labor Day. Peace.

Movin' Back Across Town

This time in my own home. Yes, we finally bought our own place and settlling down here in this military town. Hey, that sounds like lyrics to a country song. I have not been on for so long and don't even remember where I left off in my travels and the travels continue. There's just not enough time. Thanks to those who follow my blog; hope you leave your url so I may check out yours. Tina

Merry Christmas to All

Good grief, as Charlie Brown would say. I have not been on here for months. Sorry 'bout that!

Hope everyone has a very blessed and Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year!

Unpacking

Today I got lots of furniture moved and boxes unpacked ready for the trash. Whew! Got to move when I get the groove! Even repacked Christmas items so the boxes will fit up the pull-down steps to the attic. Hubby and I got the guest bedroom ready in case my mom comes down to stay after the reunion (or anyone who wants to visit). Everything is shaping up. Yeehooeey!

2009 Third Annual Family Reunion

Can hardly wait. Going to PA for my family reunion. The theme this year is Slovak. Happy to see some relatives and not so happy to see others. But will endure to the end! Got candy bar wrappers made and got everything wrapped yesterday. They have the Slovak logo and colors and the date, etc. and will make nice souvenirs. A sleeve was added to save the wrapper for your memory box. Too cool. Thanks to Kim Elliott of www.KimsKandyKreations.etsy.com. Will write more after I return. Later, Gater!!!
