GOOD MORNING FROM ALASKA!


It is a beautiful Tuesday morning in Wasilla. The sky has a few clouds but is mostly blue. It is 57 degrees right now. I am at Iditarod Headquarters. I just walked outside to take a couple of pictures and thought you'd like to see my discoveries!

As you might guess, even though it is summer, it is pretty busy around here. Tourists are here visiting the museum and getting rides on Ramy Redington's dogsled, a cart with wheels of course!

I also discovered a pile of pups! They were sleeping, so I didn't want to wake them. I am sure they'll be a wake later in the day. You'll get to see these pups when you are here at HQ. I wonder how many times a day they have their pictures taken!

Most of my day today will be spent here at HQ, working on projects, watching the tourists come and go, watching the pups sleep, play, and do their puppy activities. I hope you are having a great day. I am looking forward to seeing you soon!

I look forward to meeting everyone. I just returned from Morehead City NC..so my "fell'a" Tar Heel, we'll have lots to talk about. Thanks for the heads up on rain gear.
See you Sunday.
