A Sunny Day in Fairbanks

 

Wendy and Asa enjoying a sunny day for a change. They have had a lot of rain this summer. But the clouds broke briefly while Logan was there. Just not on the day they went to Denali. So alas... no photos of tallest mountian in North America.

Pipeline and memories

 

Recently home from Fairbanks, Alaska, Logan is finally getting her photo's downloaded. This is a photo of the famous Alaskan Pipeline. Logan poses here with Asa, whose granddaddy helped built it. Paul's has grown up hearing about Uncle Jimmy's adventures. His work on the Alaskan pipeline is just one of many.

Miracle Update

Paul and I just returned from visiting Kay at home. Yep, after literally dieing several times, being in a drug induced coma for almost a month, with a machine pumping her blood for her.... she is home. Truely a day we never thought we would see. So, I'm just letting you all know we have witnessed a miracle. I can't even begin to know how many folks were praying for her, and Brooke and Billy. If you were one of them, thank you.
She has a pace-maker and defibulator, and a home nurse comes out during the day. She is getting better every day. Her father had gallbladder surgery today, and is doing well. (It wasn't his heart afterall)
Being home from the hospital does not mean however that the excitement is over. Last night as they sat down to eat, the dogs started going nuts. Brooke and Jarrod went outside to check and found that they were after a rattlesnake under the hot-tub. Brooke put the dogs in with Kay, who can't get out of her chair. She could tell by looking that one dog's nose was already swelling. Thirteen shotgun blasts later... they had shot everything Jarrod hadn't chopped with the shovel. Adult and baby snakes.UGH. The two dogs that got bit, are still with us. They have huge snouts, but Budette and Mia will survive.
If it were me... there were have been a hurd of guineas there by noon.

Logan on Ice

Two more stars on her map. Washington and Alaska. Making it to all 50 states is a lofty goal...but she may just make it.

Alaskan Tourist

Wendy sent me this photo of Logan in Alaska. You can't tell by the photo... could be anywhere that gets rain, but we know where she is. I was glad to have it, as the photos Logan sends...are of the inside of toilets, and the like.

Freshman Football

 
Olympics... can't compare to the excitement we are feeling as the football season approaches.

Number 65

 
First there was Ernie Tafoya, then Tommy Sager, then Paul...all number 65. So, naturally, my son needs to be number 65. Saturday was picture day. We weren't sure what number he was going to have... but were happy he got THE number.
