I don't know if you saw my comment before I straightened out my publishing snafu or not. Cliffhanger now for sure. We're off shortly, but my northern posts will keep coming on Fridays.

No internet for weeks!!! Be brave, and wait till you get emails and blog posts by the dozens, just like your Dad, who asked for everyone to keep those letters coming. You have so much of his adventuring spirit, what a wonderful legacy.

Most people don't have that kind of connection with one another these days, even when they spend lots of time together. I envy the letters that you have from him.~JarieLyn~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02519086938256175022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-32842672193580916712015-06-19T08:51:20.609-06:002015-06-19T08:51:20.609-06:00I'm in awe of these letters and the history th...I'm in awe of these letters and the history they reveal.T.

We were Arctic adventurers getting into all kinds of trouble, even if we were below the Arctic Circle. Trust me, if my home internet were down, I'd be speed dialing Comcast, punching 0 over and over again, and cursing loudly into the phone until I got a real human to help me fix it! Thanks for continuing to visit me without fail when my life has been so herky jerky! I hope to catch up with you this weekend if I can! If I can't, have a good start to this welcome summer, and ear scratches to the kitties!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-75917935871010089732015-06-19T07:51:42.189-06:002015-06-19T07:51:42.189-06:00LOL, Debra!

My niece Heather got me set up on Skype last night, so I can finally video chat with her in Indonesia, her father and mother in Kuwait, and the rest of my far flung family around the world. And now I will be off-line. Sure hope I can remember what to do when I get on-line again!

My niece Heather has been visiting us for the past nine days, and I have been on the run ~ My body has discovered that I am not thirty anymore. LOL But we've had a blast, and it's been wonderful because Heather teaches in Surabaya, Indonesia, and I rarely see her. She leaves this morning, and then Terry and I have to scramble to get ready for a Big Bucket List Item starting on Tuesday!!! Have a lovely weekend.
