Thanks. That's my favorite one from the whole trip. And it was from my cell phone!

It's been 5 years today. We are doing well though the anniversaries are still pretty tough. This one is certainly the easiest so far.

So...just got approved for the home loan I wanted at the interest rate I wanted, got me a realtor and now the search begins in earnest. This might take a while. Been in the cabin 4 years now. Time to move on.

I've certainly been busy. We've had our first little snow. It didn't stick. But that always reminds me that I like to make home made chicken noodle soup with home made noodles.

On the porch at the little local bar in my small community outside of Fairbanks.

With the cold, we moved inside. It's really fun sitting there next to the big wood stove.

I got invited to play at a cival war reenactment camp. It's a small group so far but it was super fun. Good thing I mostly play American folk (and celtic) music.

Oh yea, I was also invited to be in on the ground floor of a new dog sled race, the Runaway Jim 180. It's in January. The Yukon Quest is in February. It's being put on by one of my most respected mushers.

Seven Yankees and four confederates?
It's clear you are not in the south!
That picture right there is why I never did Civil War reenactment. Too much standing inthe sun wearing wool and doing drill.
If you are doing Rev War or French and Indian war you go as a civilian and if you don't like their war you go home! Even if you do like that particular campaign you sit under a shade tree while the regulars drill.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Sounds just like a dang militia man. Here when it is fun gone when it's not

Most excellent. You've been a busy girl.
Sound like you have been a busy gal....Congratulations.....!
Don't like civil war re-enacting much either.....too many rules......

Eh, it's just a small group having fun. There weren't many rules and it wasn't hot, as least not if you weren't wearing wool lol.
Oh yea, and on Tues. I start back with roller derby.
I went and looked at a house today. I loved it! It's so funky. It's definitely "me". Plus, it has a big wood stove, a pellet stove, a monitor stove, and is wired for a genny! Plus it has a sauna. It was rated 4 star energy efficient before he put in the triple pane windows! It's not in the area I wanted. But it's not in the areas that I didn't want. Not quite as far out as I wanted but would do. So I have a message in to my lender as I have a few questions I want to ask her before making an offer. Oh, it no longer has purple and green paint, thankfully.

I put an offer on the house and put down my earnest money. Now we wait. And while we wait, my sweetie is flying me out to Tolovana Hot Springs for my birthday trip. 12 mile hike in if you are driving. 1 mile hike in if you are flying. Score!

Good Luck on the house, it looks great!

Mmm...trees. You got trees.
And yes, very interesting interior, and overall design.

I close on the 28th! So one last big Thanksgiving bash at the cabin, then it's all go go go! WOOT!
Here's a bear fighter story. I'm just linking so the author can get the correct counts for his article as he is independent.
