These two made me so proud yesterday! They spent part of their 21st birthday in the crowd screaming at Ted Cruz at the UT football game. Love you bunches! Stay feral, my little blue dots.

WTF is he droning on about???? And why does his voice sound so different (clear, no stumbling) and his vocabulary suddenly elevated??? Are we seeing an AI speech?????

Best day in a long time yesterday! Oldest niece’s sweetie got home from his “6 weeks long” Middle East deployment (it lasted almost 5 months)! Got to meet my new great nephew the same day because his dad had an expired passport and their trip to Banff got cancelled. Raucous family time last night!

This statement and photo from McConnell’s office is bullshit! She’s not even in the country! He is also much younger in this photo- and he’s smiling…

Gas is $5.19 this morning. We got our fuel oil monthly budget plan amount just now- it’s going up another $700. How are folks like us, who are seniors on a fixed income, or those who are already struggling supposed to afford this??? Thanks, you crazy MF! 8647

During the pandemic lockdown, we ordered things such as cat food, TP, and paper towels on scheduled delivery. One day, we realized we had big stockpiles in our garage and cancelled them in late 2022. Today, I finally had to go to Costco to buy TP. Still have a case of Bounty.

We've had quite the winter in Fairbanks, for sure! alaskapublic.org/news/2026-02...

In already chilly Fairbanks, this winter is one for the record books
Even the heartiest of Fairbanks sourdoughs are struggling to remember a winter as cold and snowy.

Sweet Bobblehead Jesus!!! We’ve had two feet of snow in the past week and a half or so. All of the roads aren’t even plowed yet. Now the new forecast just dropped, saying 12-18 inches are coming between tomorrow morning and Wednesday. Argh!!!!!

Good news from yesterday! Hubby’s surgery went very well and he’ll be discharged in a few hours. Best news? The first grandchild of the siblings arrived yesterday! He was two weeks early, but is perfectly healthy. Mama did great! 8 pounds with huge feet. Government name is Gibson. 🥳💕

I won’t be able to protest today, but I’ll still be there in spirit, as I’m participating in another important American activity- grand jury duty. Be safe, everyone!

I’ve been busy during this six week long deep freeze!
Alaskan alphabet baby quilt for the first grandchild of our generation! Baby’s parents are holding it. Baby arrives in 4 weeks! Baby quilt made for my great nephew who will make his appearance in two months. I love all the sheep! 🐑 I made this baby quilt as a joke for the same baby as I made the Alaska alphabet quilt. I gave Baby the nickname Pickles and the fabrics in these blocks are pickle themed. Mom and Dad laughed for quite a while!King size quilt made for my oldest niece for Christmas (and her new house). She loves the beach, so the colors represent sand, water, and sunsets. Each block has 32 triangles in it.

Many have asked about ice fog here. Particulates in the air freeze, resulting in this gray soup. You can look directly at the sun, too.

Weather forecast for the next week in Fairbanks, Alaska. Temperatures in the -40s, with valley lows as cold as -60! Antarctica is warmer! Why do we live where the air hurts us???

I really took advantage of the 9 seconds of daylight we gained today. All the packages and cards are mailed, groceries are loaded in and put away for the week, and almost all gifts are ready for Christmas Eve! All this happened at -38°, too. 🧑🏻‍🎄

There is feline joy in the house today, as a box of kick sticks and ropes arrived from @angelkat.bsky.social and her family. The box was swarmed, sniffed, and its contents attacked with gusto. There was also a book for me! Now, everyone is sleeping off their catnip indulgence, only to return later!

Well, it’s officially winter. Our neighbor came over and plowed our driveway for the first time this season. Later than usual, but inevitable.

We just watched “House of Dynamite“ on Netflix. Captivating, intense, definitely worth watching, with a quite surprising ending! Two thumbs up. Popcorn recommended.

The wiring diagram sort of made sense. The fan was mounted and ready, the new solar panel hung. We took a deep breath and made the final connection. It worked! My greenhouse now has a ventilation fan! No first responders were needed. Huzzah!!!

How to spend your 33rd anniversary: get flown in to a private lodge outside of Denali National Park for the weekend, because husband is paid entertainment for a pilot gathering. Bring your buddy, BHJ! Enjoy the view!

Today, I was a spider magnet. It felt as if every time I walked into a different greenhouse area, the word went out and I would find several critters walking on me. Lucky for them, I’m not afraid of spiders anymore.

Blind taste test completed. Using our grandma’s recipe, the test determined that KitchenAid mixed dough extracted by said mixer made the best ravioli. All were deemed delicious, though. 👩🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳🧑🏻‍🍳🧑🏻‍🍳👨🏻‍🍳

December 1st means the official start of the holiday season for me. How did I celebrate? I went to the farmers market bazaar this afternoon and found three perfect gifts. Then I went to a local specialty shop, finding a treasure. We put the lights on the tree while dinner was in the oven. 🎄🎄🎄
