Good morning! So my sister arrived in Bethel last night for her 3 month stint leading a Covid team.. she shared a couple pics with me and a really cool story. I’m going to share them with you.

This was coming into Seattle. See the mountains poking through the clouds?

And this was anchorage at 9am yesterday morning. No pics from Bethel yet. She flew in late last night and only had WiFi from the hotel.. no cell service:-(

They deserve medals for going through all that!
Well done to them!
Which one is your sister?

I did finally figure that out and even found instructions on how to make them today. Also I found bats ?. Two of my brothers were born on beggars night and I want to send them a birthday card this year. It's a sibling thing ?. I'll be in so much trouble.

Good evenooning all.

I haven’t had a good week with my mind. Covid and lockdown and just life in general really is getting me down at the moment. I wound up really upsetting my daughter today.. and not by shouting at her... it might have been better if I had :(

It’s a year to the day since we set off for our trip of a lifetime to New Zealand. Maybe that’s what is dragging me down.

I’ll try to cheer up but if I‘m feeling down I may have to observe rather than participate for a while.

I can see that you are back and I am very happy about that. And you can see I a back with spelling mistakes and all. I do blame my phone though. I can never type words correctly when on the phone and are having to always go back and correct them. Sigh
Me too. My little keypad is little and I'm always having to go back and correct it. Plus I sometimes have trouble seeing it which is double trouble. But the computer is worse for me so I'm always on my phone.

Totally understand! I have put a strain on the relationship with one of my son's.
Sometimes when you don't know what to do, it is better to do nothing.
Hang in there!

Wow God bless her. I've always wanted to see Alaska but I wouldn't be able to deal with the cold.?

Like everyone else is saying hang in there. My family fights like cats and dogs sometimes but we always get back together. And covid-19 is truly just a bump along the way. I heard today that even though this new strain is more contagious it is less deadly. So the virus is already degrading downward. Hopefully, that's true.?

Thanks Mark, lots of flower buds, but not as many new pad growth like last year. Hopefully more pads will grow.
I would be so happy to have all those flowers. I think cactus bloom like that when there's extra rain at the right time. At least I read that once.

hi carol!
I hope you are feeling much better?...
Is the rise you posted up too


I’m sorry I got cut off??? (Stupid iPhone)
Eheeeemmm!.... (clearing throat)....
Hi Carol!
I hope you are feeling much better?
I must ask you ....
Is the picture of this rise you posed perhaps
Be the famous “Double Delight”?
If anyone is looking for a smelly rose ...
THIS ONE IS IT!!! IT IS SIMPLY GORGEOUS!!! You must smell it!!!
You inspired me. Since I already think my brothers have bats in their belpreys, I'm going to send them a birthday card with flying bats. I can't wait. They were even born on beggars night so that proves they deserve it.?
