I'm baaack!

Yes, I know it has been forever and that is exactly what I didn't want to happen. But here I go again.
Not much new in the Barnett household. Michael will be leaving for a 2 week hunting trip next week, so Megh and I will have the house to ourselves. Great!...what will we eat?! Meghan is taking a microbiology class at UAA. She is still trying to decide if she should just leave for Texas or keep trying to find a job here. I just stay out of it! Her life.....her decisions.
We did climb Lazy Mountain again yesterday. I thought it was suppose to get easier??
I'll keep up with this blog now, and as soon as I get some pictures of anything exciting, I'll post them.

Wii

Well, my tourist days are over.....Dad and Diane are addicted to Wii. They are having bowling and golf tournaments! I'll try to get them hooked on Rockband next!

Portage Glacier

Today Dad, Diane and I went to Portage Glacier and Whittier. The glacier is a very pretty blue. Diane had on a Delaware sweatshirt and a man told her that it was worthless. Come to find out, he lives in Delaware too! Him and his wife have been visiting for a month and plan to be here four months total. He said he would sell everything and live here in a heart beat!
Whittier..... well, was Whittier! We paid $12 to go thru the tunnel and it took 10 minutes to see all of Whittier. It is very picturesque, but that's all there is. There was a Carnival Cruise Ship docked. I took them to where Michael and I got certified for scuba diving.
Then we went to Moose's Tooth in Anchorage for dinner. Delicious as usual.

WAHOO!!!

HE DID IT! My husband as "officially" a pilot!!! Congratulations Baby!

Hatcher's Pass

Well, I've been playing the tourist! I should say acting because I'm not very good at it. Dad and Diane have been asking all sorts of questions that I should know......but I don't! I just live here. The weather has been SO much more that I ever could have wished for! It has been positively beautiful, except for the light smoke from all the fires. It has been in the low 70's and mostly sunny. Perfect.
Today, we went to Independence Mine at Hatcher's Pass. We had a piece of homemade pie at Hatcher's Pass Lodge. It was really good.

Megh's visit

Megh came for a visit from Fairbanks. We went to the new restaurant in Wasilla called the Grape Bar. It's a nice place, expensive and small portions, but it does have potential.
She is digging in her stuff for a book......which she never found.
My Dad, Bill, and his better half, Diane will be here for the week. We will be doing all the silly tourist stuff.
