Things are warming up just a little in Seward. Today I could actually go out without a hat and gloves for a short time. Mary has been in Seward since Thursday night and although I was busy with school functions day and night it was nice to have her close by. Some new friends (Karen and Joey) from Anchorage came to Seward on Saturday, staying over with us. Karen and Joey are avid game players...they brought some new obscure games for our enjoyment. Tons of fun - my personal favortive is the 'stack the animals' game. Great one for the kids as it builds critical thinking skills and hand/eye coordination.
Today the four of us went to the "Train Wreck" for breakfast and then off for site seeing and wildlife hunting. Our "hunting" techniques tend towards camera and binaculors. Today we found a multitude of eagles (mature and juveniles) and a sea otter playing in the bay. (Pictures included) The weekend is winding down and Mary is gathering things for her return trip to Anchorage...the cycle begins again.
The most exciting thing happening in the north these days is the gaining of daylight. While we still start the day in darkness it is getting light around 8:15am. Night time comes around 6pm so there is time after work to be out doing winter sports (if it is not to cold). Shelly (middle school principal's wife and my librarian) and I are going to begin training together this week in preparation for some triathlons this summer. A focused activity will be good as the daylight continues to increase.
I hope you are all well (and warm) - We will talk soon...Ginger
