More Snow!

Today, Wednesday, started out cold, 34 degrees.  Luckily we came prepared, and so have all the right clothes, and boots, and car.  We also have a nice tight log house:  despite leaving a window open all night in our upstairs bedroom loft, and the heater turned off, it was still 56 degrees this morning when we got up.  This house is almost too tight, keeping the house warm and stuffy, so we experimented last night, and will now leave a window open every night for nice fresh air.

I took Kathy to work, then came home and did some work.  Today is my volunteer day at POWER Thrift Store in Craig, from 10 AM to 2 PM.  Victoria always brings us a nice warm lunch.  I've finally got the 1,000+ books sorted and organized.  I found one last week that is worth $100.  I'm going to sell it on ebay and fatten up the donation box.  We've also read several good mysteries I found there and brought home.

Leaving the store I found rain, which turned into sleet on the drive home, and snow in Klawock.  I stopped at the mall to check the mail and get a few things, and by the time I came out, the parking lot was covered in snow!  It snowed off and on the rest of the day.  Look for pictures in tomorrow's blog.  The chances of making Brady's dream of a White Christmas here come true is looking better and better.  :-)  The dogs don't seem to mind the snow, although Quinlan was a little more anxious to get in the house this afternoon, but that might have been due to the 33 degree temperature. 

After picking up Kathy last night we went to Craig and did some Christmas shopping, which is more fun thanks to Henry!

We are still trying to figure out how to get an elliptical exercise machine to our house.  We find them on the web, but they won't deliver or ship to the island, which is understandable since they weigh 300 lbs.  We desperately need a way to exercise regularly, without driving somewhere.  I'm going to contact the barge company tomorrow and see if they will pick it up and deliver it, from the Sears store in Ketchikan.
