Way too cold for the middle of April! - alaskamama@gmail.com - Gmail



All week it has been below zero every morning!  And the high for this week was 23°.  For about three days earlier this week, we had super gray weather and snow.  I do know that eventually we will have spring and summer, but it sure is taking it’s time to get here.  And, yes (mom), I know that April does this sort of things sometimes with temps and snow, but it hasn’t been so snowy and so cold so consistently in a long time if ever.  (Ok, you sour doughs, let me have it and tell me I’m wrong.)  For me, it was a rough week – that weather puts me on edge.

I forgot to mention that while I was gone, Al Lorenzen, Ann’s dad was taken to the ER in Fbks.  He had fainted and had high blood pressure.  They discovered an arrhythmia which I believe was fixed.  I think since he’s been home, he’s been doing okay. 

Rob doing better but still way to thin for my linking, hasn't hit 100lbs. yet...meds seems to be agreeing with him.  We see the endo in Fbks in May for an update and more blood work. Keep praying...

Have been going out on the snow trails on my own, still so gorgeous! I know we want the warmth but if you get it just right, right after my last class at around 2.30 it is warm and sunny and bright...just right to hit the snow with my snowshoes.

Ani busy with plans for her imminent move to TX to be with her aunt and Tesis. I imagine she is aprehensive about the unknown but she has some very good Words to confirm her going, so...

I will miss my long time friend Audrey Seman, she was about the ONLY person who ever gave me feed back on my blog posts...miss you dear friend!

Nobody knows what's going to happen to SAPA, they finally announced officially that they are closing shop and selling out...not sure what will happen to the 10+ folks that are there....if you want details get in touch with Rus Basalyga from The Land...

I have started some new ventures in translation and reading in english/spanish with varous agencies who use these types of skills. Check out my website at


Am also reading for LIBRIVOX, http://librivox.org/

 Public domain outfit making audio book readings in all languages to the public...and doing pro bono work for GOSPEL TRANSLATIONS, an outfit which also makes the biblical material in all languages available to the general public. I am enjoying both ventures alot and am getting some much needed experience in my line of work.


The seniors have asked me to make their graduation slideshow, so that is keeping me busy...compiling hundred of photos, putting them to appropriate music...etc.....fun work for me...time consuming though.

No more to report, Have a great week end!

Over and out...
