Over the extended weekend, my children all went to a Youth Camp in Sterling, Alaska......500 miles away! These are a few of the 169 pictures (she's so my daughter) Jennifer took on the trip.

Zucchini Cake
This is a great way to put some of that zucchini to use, if you are blessed enough to have some in your garden. Oh how I wish I had my good garden going this year!

Weekend Project: Coffee Table
This weekend (and then some) my kids were gone to a camp in Sterling, Alaska. 500 loong, faaar, distant miles away.
So THIS mom had to do something to keep busy. This is our coffee table. Years ago this was also a project. I tiled the top of it and framed it out with some trim. It was great. Very durable, looked nice. But 8 gazillion moves later, it needed help.

Another "I Love Technology" post
Two years ago, almost to the day, I wrote THIS POST about why I love technology.
Well last night, we had a repeat. For the first time in 75 days, I got to see my hubby's face.

Geocaching Pics from my Phone
Yesterday I went geocaching in Fairbanks, and took a few pictures with my phone while I was out and about.
First, this was on a hiking trail that I was tromping down...okay, it was really a ski trail....but man oh man! I couldn't imagine skiing down that hill!

Getting the Wind Knocked Out of You
Some days, it really bites to be a military family.
One day, you might be going along doing your thing, having a nice day, when suddenly something happens..... you hear something, you see something, and it just knocks the wind out of you.
Today was one of those days for me.

Hometown Fairbanks - The Midnight Sun Festival
Fairbanks continues to get under my skin, and embed itself deeply into my heart.
This weekend, Fairbanks had the Midnight Sun festival. Several streets and blocks were barricaded off, and tents, stages and displays went up.

Military in the News...
This week, there was a story about a group of soldiers who were charged $2,800 for having "too many bags" when returning from Afghanistan. The story went "viral" after a couple of the soldiers posted this video on YouTube.

Down to the River
When we came home on Wednesday from checking our fish traps, I had received an e-mail asking if we would like to accompany the Youth Corp the next day at one of our sites, to do some seining. We jumped on it!

Because I'm a Hopeless Food Magazine Addict... (Give-Away)
I give up. I am hopelessly addicted to food magazines. I simply can't resist!

So I thought I would spread the guilt.

Memorial Day in Alaska
This was our first Memorial Day here in Alaska. As with many people across the country, we had a picnic this day. But unlike many people across the country, we had some unique things brought to share at the potluck.
