Second Update from Up North

We went down to Homer on Saturday and I was in awe of the whole drive. The views are just spectacular up here! Mountains everywhere and the water is so blue...*Sigh* I could stay here for longer than a week. We went and wandered around on the beach, toured a crazy little bookstore with books stacked literally EVERYWHERE, and visited with Phil, a friend in the area. He's a captain but unfortunately, he blew out his knee and couldn't take us out fishing. Instead, he lined up a fishing trip for a few of us with his buddy Ron. It was a blast! I kept catching fish that had to be thrown back but it was great anyway. In the course of the weekend, I learned a few things.

-Mountain views are gorgeous no matter where they are.
-There are still honest people in the world and one of them just returned our lost checkbook.
-Homeade seafood chowder tastes AMAZING!
-I married into a very STRANGE family...but I knew that before I married L.

Update from Up North

We made it to Alaska with little difficulty. V fussed a bit on the last leg of our flight but soon fell asleep. We went skiing and sightseeing at Hatcher Pass today and have a few other fun things planned for the rest of our stay here. It's so beautiful up here...I can see why so many people come for a visit or to stay. Even L has mentioned that he wouldn't mind moving up here and farming! It's not something we are currently considering but it's certainly a tempting thought. I have a feeling I am going to be dreaming of AK for a long time after we get back to MN.

Puppies for FREE!

Yes, Mindy had her annual batch of pups several weeks ago. We currently need homes for five ADORABLE puppies. There are three girls and two boys, mostly black with white on the belly and paws. One female has brown markings similar to Mindy. They are weaned and ready to go anytime. Our camera has dead batteries otherwise I would post pictures.

Quantities are limited so reserve your pup TODAY!

From Our Farm: Demo Day

If you are in town and would like to sample some really yummy yogurt this afternoon/early evening, stop by the local grocery store (J&B) and see me! L, V, and me are all going to be there doing an in-store demo of Organic Valley pourable yogurt. We've got all kinds of goodies and coupons for give-away too.

Hope to see you there!
