HIYA folks...

Hi!  We still don’t have snow – that seems so weird!  It might snow this weekend.  We’ll see.  It’s about 32° right now at 9:30 pm.  Today was sorta gray and dreary. 

We had a family meeting tonight to discuss what we’d like to spend our money on.  It was a short meeting.  Everyone was in goofy moods so there was a lot of laughing and jokes.  It was a pleasant family meeting esp for having to discuss money and budgets, etc.

I think that some of the PDF will be given for building and food supplies. A new Tabernacle building was discussed but location is not clear yet...that will be a major undertaking considering that the building houses our communal kitchen and mess hall plus church hall...I think we have 50 grand saved and need 3 times that amount...haha...we shall see...

Bill, Kathy, and Joey went to visit family in the states for a couple of weeks. Joe is missing a whole week of my Spanish class...oh well...

May still recup from nasty flu...she needs to get better before she leaves for Ireland, flying with an ear ache is murderous as I hv found out....she is getting better. Some of us gals hv ordered bulk silver colloid...and it seems to be working better than the stuff I make myself...stronger probably...funnily enough it is called Argentyn 123....course Argentina comes from the Conquistadors thinking that the River Plata ( silver) was a sea of silver and argentina comes from argentium....Iegend goes that the sun shone on the vast river and made it look like silver...for those who don't know I was born in Argentina, hence the cultural clip here...sorry to bore u...:)

anyhoo she is drinking the stuff often (actually just using droppers) and also in her ears...does not want to go the run of antibiotics...good girl...but slow in healing...letting the body heal itself...now that she is an EMT 3 she tells me all about medical stuff...hopes to get into paramedic/PA stuff via the Air force...we shall see..

Pat has been in Tok brushing up on his EMT skills and his EMT 3 certs came in today, so proud of him! He is also leaving in 2 weeks for a month in the UK to visit his sweetheart...they met this summer in Macarthy/Cordova...etc. a very lovely girl....we shall see...(have a said that before? hummm...)

Pat and Rob and about a dozen other kids, went out to Lisa Lake tonight to skate ...I think they took some trucks and drove all the way to the lake which is quite bumpy but that way they can use the headlights to light up the frozen lake...I know Rob will hv a good time with his big bro...Pat is such a good big bro...I just don't hv the energy to do that sort of thing! All I managed today was a 30 ' bike ride with Rob down the taxiway and back...he beat me! At least we got outside in the lovely cool, crisp, rapidly freezing weather!! was good for us! ...Still not home as I write...tomorrow Monday...ugh...always hard start to the school week...need an extra week- end day...haha!! Rob was so excited at being asked to go, had his packs, snopants, headlamp, gloves, skates, warm hat and mask, all ready to go..never saw him move that fast....just goes to show that he can go fast when he wants to!

Big Pat is on night watch this week which means he has to stoke 4 big wood furnaces to our main buildings....schools, Tab, wash house, forge and wood-shop. It is job but keeps him fit...not too nice when it is -20...he just told me that it is actually SNOWING!

wow finally....

Gotta run.  Have a great start of the week...
