Welcome to winter in Alaska!

Hello and welcome! We would like to share a little bit of our lives in Alaska with our family and friends. This blog is our attempt to show you, in photos and our thoughts, what it is like living in this amazing corner of the world. Sometimes we take for granted the beauty of our own location. Sometimes we rush through life not realizing what is right before our eyes. Sometimes we have to work really hard in order to enjoy things that are difficult or frightening. We have a little of all of that here. Welcome to our world. Enjoy!Looking out our dining room window, through the icicles and snow-draped winter trees, to the Chugach Mountains north of our home.

Dody, your blog looks terrific! What an amazing, amazing view! I've always considered Alaska to be my dream vacation, even though I'm not an outdoors person--just for the scenery. I'm getting too old, haha, to want to visit anywhere cold any more. I can see why so many military decide to make Alaska their home. I can't wait to see more shots like this. I'm so glad you are up and RUNNING!!!
