It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

What a nostalgic sledge hammer it is to be back in Fairbanks. Eleven years is a lot of years to be away from a place. Many things have changed, but so many things look the same only the people are all wrong. I did find some old friends and that was the best part of the trip.

It's odd to be driving down a street and remember a place or a specific occurrence, but not to remember the exact details such as exactly how to get to the place I'm remembering. It's all very surreal. I'm beginning to understand the power of memory lane.

In addition to good times, I got some good photos! What a winter wonderland it is here; nothing colder than -14 below, but it's still early in the winter. These photos were taken across Alaska - Palmer, Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Ft. Greely. I almost had a shot of a moose, but I couldn't slow the car down to get the shot in time. Ho hum; maybe next time. More photos later!

Fabulous winter pics! Really great!

I modified one of the templates for my blog - I used one of the basic ones and just changed it up.

Also - it's my NMCI email that's killing me....so, unfortunately, I don't think work would like me moving it to Gmail. ;-)

Hope all is well in Huntsville!
