EXCITING TIME OF THE YEAR!!!!

Darshia sent us the above posters. What a friend. She remembered that my boys had been collecting these posters from the Anchorage Daily News when we lived up there.
Yes, it's Iditarod time. We have a picture of the last Iditarod we attended above our computer....and this time of year always reminds me of the outing we took with Mom to the Iditarod headquarters in Wasilla. I'd post photos, but they are on another computer...one of the many crashed ones. ::snort:: We watched "Snow Dogs" last night in honor of the race.....and we've been getting daily updates from the ADN. If you're interested the official site has lots of great info.
This year's race is quite exciting. The winner is expected to reach Nome around Dawn on Wednesday.....Currently....Lance Mackey is OUT of Shaktoolik (Shak-TOO-lick), and Paul Gebhardt, Martin Buser and Jeff King are all IN Shaktoolik.

Sis: That was one of the best Christmas vacations we ever had. Love Alaska!!!

Just came from the hospital and am not at work..... :) Bell just rang so it is time to really get to work. He is getting better even though his body is still not all back to where it was.

PTL for victories!
