trying to try harder for Jenny

Because of JennyCase's comment on FB, I have decided to "try harder" and "write more stories." I know what it's like to check a blog over and over only to have a certain blogger fail to update.

We'll continue to move through December. We might even hit xmas. It's too soon to tell.



These are the 2nd set of xmas lights Fred and Julianne sent (the first were the dolphins which are still up). It took me 4 tries to get them when they were all lit up. The little lighthouses have 2 lights and the top one blinks. Someone at our NYE party told us they resemble penises and my neighbor could not contain her laughter when she asked me what exactly we had put in our window. They will return next year for sure. I devised a way to clip them to the blinds so they'd stand up.


Living in Nome, we get visitors traveling from village to village and village to lower 48 fairly frequently. Amy is one such visitor. She and Obama shared a not-so-private moment at Airport Pizza.


Another visitor who frequents our humble abode is Barnabas--here he is sporting his Just Give Up sweatpants in public.


And this is just one of the many delicious pizzas that can be enjoyed at AP (for a large sum of money). Tasty, very tasty. And look at the greenery!


We went to AP to see this guy, Willis, sing and play guitar. He's a teacher on Diomede and was traveling around SE Asia during winter break performing.


Our friends Opik, Nathan, and Aprille were there. As you may recall from a previous post, Opik grew up on Diomede and Nathan and Aprille were teachers there.



Anahma played some fiddle. (Beard now has her old position at Kawerak.)


Ann-Marie came by.



And Barnabas and Thomas decided to have dessert.

That's all for now.
