Some more reading and then we took off for a ski through the same park that we've been skiing but a different trail today as a snowmobile had rolled a trail around the lakes.
It was really a beautiful day, even though the sun never did get very high in the sky. You can see that beautiful "weak winter sun" here, and the day was lighter than it looks in the picture. We skied just about 2 hours - warmer today, about 10 degrees, and then back to the cabin for snacks and a glass of wine. We brought some of the wonderful smoked salmon with us that I helped to smoke and jar in Klukwan this summer, with smoked cheese and apples and pears. I hope we're still hungry for that turkey breast and cranberry dressing cooking in the miniature oven here!
Back to reading in bed for awhile - Brian's reading sailing stories and I'm starting another book -- or I did bring some knitting with me. We went to an irreverent Christmas show in town last night at 7:30 but probably won't go anywhere tonight - just a nice dinner when it's done. Or we may go out to a "town caroling" and local musicians at, I think, the Fairview, which takes place after the last Christmas show is enacted tonight. The show, Brian says, is like a Saturday Night Live routine about living in Alaska. It was pretty funny, most of the time anyway and -- support the local arts! The Denali Arts Center puts it on.
We both hope you all had a day to remember (in a good way!) with family and friends. We miss all of you but feel blessed to be enjoying Alaska -- we think we were meant to live here and were born elsewhere by mistake!
Love to all.
Sorry to text so early. I figure your phone was off and you could review it any time. Sounds like you had a great Christmas. I talked to Carol after she got to San Diego. Paul, Kim and Peter were getting ready to go to Canadaquia on Christmas Day when I called them.
ReplyDeleteDidn't see the kids at church on Christmas Eve.
Have a good day. Janet
