Putting my shopping shoes on

Hello Family and Friends,

Well, well, well. We are finally finding ourselves ready to go and do a little shopping. First item on the list is a bed. B-E-D. I've been googling and mapquesting to my heart's content, and hopefully we'll find a really good deal. The second item is going to be some clothes storage. Right now we have everything in tubs and it's nearly impossible to see and choose clothing. Which leads to a very boring wardrobe.

The weather has been pretty good. Today was lovely and sunny and the wind was down again. Ches and I had a lovely afternoon walk, but I'm still a little chicken to go too far from home. My biggest thing is that I'm just not sure how Ches will react. We'll see in time, I'm sure.

Brent scheduled our first halibut fishing charter today. He booked it through Boeing and we'll be going in June. It's a long time to wait, but I'm really, really excited about it. We will travel to Anchorage and we have asked Adam and Jennifer to join us. We're just waiting to hear if Jennifer will be around.

The most exciting thing that has been happening is that I keep getting stuck in the house. That makes me sound intelligent doesn't it? Lol. It's not that I can't open the door. It's that the weather keeps making the house shift so the door wedges itself closed. Earlier in the week I broke a blood vessel in my hand, today I was smarter due to experience and managed to free myself in minutes. It's pretty frustrating though.

The days are going well. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to Granite View Sports to pick up all of Brent's cold weather gear. He picked part of it out, and it's waiting there, but he has more money to spend. I think I might pick up one or two things for the house. They have a cute little gift shop attached that Mom would love. (wink, wink)

So, after getting our first electric bill I think I need to spend more time reading and less time watching television. HOLY SMOKE! I nearly fell over. Not pretty. We might have to start using more candle light, and we're fairly conservative as it is. That will be an adjustment. In addition to charging us for electricity they charge us $.03852 per kwh for a fuel charge. Ours came to $91.00. Yep, now can you imagine what our bill is?? Uff da. Oh well.

Have a happy day!
