Alaska on Wednesday!


Good morning from Iditarod Headquarters! I took a picture of the headquarters building again this morning so you can see the blue sky. This picture was taken about two hours earlier in the day than the picture I took yesterday. There is also a vehicle on the front yard, a Dodge Truck that will be raffled off this year. You can also see that the sidewalk is wet, not from rain, but from the lawn sprinkler. It is very dry here and rain is very much needed. I know, the picture looks a lot like the one I posted yesterday, but it goes to show you, it is another beautiful day in Wasilla, Alaska!

There is hardly even a wisp of a cloud to be seen this morning.

It is about 60 degrees and a near perfect Idita-day in June! Soon, you'll all be here!

Our 2008 WFTOTT Jane will arrive in Alaska today. Some of you are here and some of you have started your journey while others are figuring out how to zip that suitcase shut! Soon, we'll all be in the great state of Alaska. I look forward to seeing you! Let me just say in advance, "Welcome to Alaska and our conference!" We are going to have a great adventure!

Diane, I now have the scrapbook in hand, and the quilt. They are packed carefully and ready to share with the others. Terri did a wonderful job with her sewing, the scrapbook pictures and stories really complete the project!
