Alaska’s clock ticks ever so slowly
. . . towards 2008 - still half an hour away Alaska time. However, I am here to wish you
That’s my alter ego, of course -the moose of a certain color, that is. It would seem the PurpleMoose and his cohorts got into somebody’s stash and have been having a high old time - and they couldn’t even go out and get party hats . . . instead they raided my newly finished knit baby socks and put them on their racks!!! There is no shame in the moosie family, I’m afraid. (hahaha- 2008 is gonna be another laughing year, yes?)
In the meantime, while I was looking for another 451 Press link to publish here, I thought - HEY, they must CERTAINLY have a city link to Columbus, Ohio, right? Well, it turns out they do. Tadah! (they are 4 hours ahead of us, so have been snoozing into the new year for better than 3 hours now).
I will have to keep up with this blog over the next couple of months as hubby and I are taking our oldest granddaughter to Columbus in March. We met there (I was born there) and were married there and had both of our daughters there. I have only lived in two states - AND two towns - in my whole life! (sad, huh?) 28 years in Ohio and nearly 30 years now in Alaska.
Granddaughter and I were to have gone to Washington, D.C. with her history class over spring break, but her teacher had to cancel the trip. Hubby and I didn’t want to see her miss out on a trip (her brother and I went on the D.C. trip two years ago), so the three of us will be going back to our old stomping grounds.
We will show her where we went to school, where he gave me my first kiss (behind the mummy which was at that time in the museum on OSUs campus - but is now in the Ohio Historical Society museum on the fairgrounds), where we were married and where her mama and aunt were born. We will also introduce her to my aunt and his aunt . . . give her a little sense of her own history.
I am hoping to give her a journal to keep while we are traveling - and her mama is giving her a digital movie/still camera for a digital journal. We are all looking forward to it.
Hope you all have a safe and sober new year’s eve - and a wonderful 2008!
