Well, we DID actually have a
real estate related reason...but, anyhow yesterday we had a 16 hour excursion (which Alaska is so huge that...16 hours...is nothing!) which included the Denali Highway! A first for mom and I...even though we're Alaskans. =P
Here are a few quick pictures...I took over 900! (in my defense it's very easily done as the scenery and the wildlife are a photographer's dream!)
IT WAS AMAZING! Alaska is...incredible.
I have a lot I could say, and might say later, about the trip etc but,...gotta' run to a birthday party so, these pictures will have to speak for themselves. =)
When you're looking at scenes like this...it's crazy how many adjectives come to mind yet, you're speechless all at the same time.
Nothing I say can convey what you feel, what you see, what you smell, what you hear...
...there just aren't any words to describe a place so ethereal. Drat. I used a word.
God bless!

Some women can tell just from the way the baby is "sitting" and stuff....not me! No idea! 
Little Tait is going to be a great big brother!
Check out the dimples in his legs!
Last night Dad, Mom, my brother-in-law, sister and 3 of my nephews went out boating, fishing, etc. It was a lot of fun! I love being with my darlings!

No idea what I have exactly...could be:
1. A much stronger, longer version of what I had last time...the thing my niece and nephews had. Not sure why it's coming back though........ Read More
2. Mom thinks it could possibly be an inner ear infection
3. Last Mon-Wed Ash and I moved all the furniture out of the upstairs (besides the office, Ashley's and mom dad's room) cleaned, painted and urethaned 1500 sf of the upstairs floors...and the last 2 dealios...without a mask...and other than mowing was communing with the fumes for 2 days...so could be just that I don't eat enough veggies and my body is trying to get all the toxins out..."
Well, last night's facebook status:
"Momz just checked my ears with a kinda cool little ear monitor (gadgets like that....so intriguing)...it blinks red and reads, "Consult a doctor" in my right ear and blinks yellow and reads, "monitor" in my left. She was right!"
And, today...I have had some sort of magic numbing drops lovingly dripped in my ear...that expired in November...1991.
Which maybe it's just me. But, the 90's are OOOOld. They didn't do much either way so, it's okay.
Also, mom has been diligent in keeping vitamin C tablets in my hand every couple hours. That and a friend recommended and I've been drinking at least a serving of Vibe. A couple hours ago we got some garlic compound drops or something from the local herb shop and mom plopped those in the screaming monster which is currently my right ear....
...still feel pain. But, hopefully after a couple more of those feedings the monster will settle down and go to bed. We'll see.
I am being called to play Scrabble. And, I can't hear. By the way.
Oh, and any recommendations on getting rid of ear infections (and a really crazy cough...that's tearing me apart...)? I'd love any advice you can give! =)
God bless!
