October already!

Hi guys, I can't believe that tomorrow is October already. The weather here is still cold/warm/cold, no snow in sight yet. My husband says itis blowing and snowing in Prudhoe. Anybody have frozen ground yet? I remember we always had snow by my brothers's birthday (September 23) when I was a kid. One year we only went to four houses for Holloween because it was -40. Can't get over how much the weather has changed just in my lifetime. O.K. I'm done rambling. I've been working on paring down my pictures for the flickr sllide show - I started with 83! There are just so many things to photograph in a city. I should have the slide show up today or tomorrow. I really enjoy keeping up with you guys this way. Have a good one----

Subsistance? What's That?

I imagine you already know that taking time off school for subsistence activities isn't even a question in Fairbanks. People can and do take time away from school but this absence is treated like any other. A parent has three days to report the absence of their student and the student is expected to make up what he or she missed. I am amazed at how many different ways the schools (where you all are) deal with this issue. I am really impressed with the ones who place so much value on this activity and help families keep subsistence as a way of life. That's cool.

This time I did forget!

Hi all, I am so bad at remembering to get this done by Sunday. I have decided I need to make posting something I do at the beginning of the week instead of the end. I've been very busy with the start of school and trying to get Ed 330 work done that I have let this class slide too much. Next week I hope to have my Panraven story ready. Blessings to you all, Theresa

Just got back---

I just returned from visiting my oldest daughter in Girdwood and moose hunting with my hubby. We saw a little black bear but no moose. I went to a schoolboard meeting for Ed 330 as well. Not something I would do just for fun that for sure! I am really enjoying all the stuff you guys have been adding to your blogs -
Miss you all !

Almost forgot!

We have been out getting ready for moose hunting and I almost forgot to get this posted. I wish I had remembered my camera yesterday because the sun was bright and the colors out in the woods were gorgeous! I hope to get some nice photos to share with you all this week. I told a former geology teacher about delicious and he will be putting a huge list of geology related web sites for teachers up soon. when it is done I'll let you know the address.
