IS IT COLD YET?

Wow, I didn’t realize that the temperature was dropping last night as I was running around doing errands.  It’s -40 degrees and dropping, this morning. I was supposed to take the girls into Delta, but Pat said NO!

Many of you have asked about Jason Underhill who fell from a manhaul about 20ft. while working in the Kenai.  I do know that he was able to get on a flight home to Anchorage where he saw a spine specialist.  I haven’t heard much other than he did crack three ribs and fracture those two vertebras (one lower; one upper).  He is in extreme pain and has a hard time staying in one position for long. 

Jarred and Jennifer had all the kids down last night for a game night.  They came home late and happy.

Carolyn had the sixth and seventh graders busy all afternoon yesterday making decorations for our Thanksgiving meal next week.  They were having a jolly time with that! (and eating way more candy than their mom’s would probably like  J  which is soooo much fun)

Andy, Sarah Jane, and Rachel have braved the cold temperatures to do the Thanksgiving shopping run.  I don’t envy them! Everybody is looking forward to our yearly Thanksgiving feast...wish Loui Chavez would come and make us his signature Mexican "asado"...I think he just had carpal tunnel surgery on one of his hands.

My BIL Ben Mehaffey did pretty good at his show last weekend.  He has been able to rent a little credit card machine from the bank by the month for these shows.  That has been most helpful as many people like to pay with their credit cards.  Brad and Ben have been tossing around this idea about people having an app on their ipads that allows customers to pay you when they scan their card over your ipad.  I guess it is a real and useful and secure app????  The loggers just might need to invest in an ipad for their business dealings. 

I have since gotten better details on the hunters’ breakfast biggest rack derby – Mikey Koehler was the actual winner.  Mikey is 12 or 13 yrs old.  What a cool thing.  And, it’s like the third or fourth moose that he has shot in his short lifetime!

Our 2012 calendars are hot on the griddle and will be coming out pretty soon. Our resident photographer Sarah Jepsen always does a swell job and they are so nice to send out to family and friends. If you want one get in touch with her via phone, email  (jepsensarah@gmail.com) or her website (http://www.bysarahj.com/). I think that the calendars should be $12 each. 

Saturday chores and cooking are calling.  You all have a great and safe weekend.
