2010 Iditarod

We finally made it to the Iditarod! Paul has been wanting to go since we have been here in Alaska. Its so Alaskan u know:)
Its an 1,100 mile race to Nome, AK. We went to the ceremonial Anchorage start. You may not be able to tell from my pics but there were thousands of people there!! We were excited as we adopted our dog from a guy who has ran in the past 3 Iditarods and this one being his 4th. His name is Bruce Linton and this year he is number 65. He was one of like 6 people who were being filmed in the Discovery chanel documentry "Toughest race on earth". We wanted to go wish him luck and cheer him on. The downtown portion of the city was very crowded and hard to get some good pics but we moved a few miles out and got some good pics of the dogs and mushers. They probably have the Discovery documentry at your local Blockbuster if your interested:)  http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/iditarod/iditarod.html

Just a little humor...

Maxine should run for president. She was right on with this one!


Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately: illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, alligators attacking people in Florida ....

Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation.

+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border.

+ Send the dirt to New Orleans to raise the level of the levies.

+ Put the Florida alligators in the moat along the Mexican border.

Any other problems you would like for me to solve today ? Yes ?

Think about these:

1. Cows

2. The Constitution

3. The Ten Commandments

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq .... Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment.

Just a few things I love about Paul...

1  The wrinkles in the corner of his eyes
2  He always goes out of his way to avoid things that would cause him or I to stumble in our walk with the Lord.
3  He desires to follow the Lord, and when he may fall down he always gets back up
4  I can share anything with him, I love to lay in bed and talk, he always listens, until he starts snoring:)
5  He stopped wearing tapered leg pants for me (probably has nothing to do with the fact that I sold them all in my yard sales early on)
6  He has a very good work ethic, hes always willing to give more than he takes
7  He puts up with me, I gotta love that
8  Hes very smart, but always wrong, but thats because Im always right, cant be helped:)
9  He laughs with me, we can be goofy together
10  I love that he hasnt put the bowflex together now for over 2 months, I know its because he does not want me to strain myself, very thoughtful:)

Happy 7th anniversary Babe:)  Love ya
