A weeks worth of nothing

I have a few snapshots to share that don't really have to do with anything else.  It has been so cold but oh so sunny outside lately.  In Alaska when the sun is out in the fall/winter/spring time it typically means that it is cold outside because the cloud coverage isn't around to trap in the heat.  Although the winter has been sunny it has been extremely cold outside too.

My friends and I had a girls lunch at a local restaurant here. Quite a few ladies showed up.  I think there were more kids there then there was actual women.  It's always nice to have good friends as company for lunch.

One more picture of the sun through my window.  It was so bright outside that I had to pull the curtain to get a descent picture.  This is kind of a fun perspective anyway.

As some of you know I have been making my own extracts and sugars.  So far I have made vanilla, orange, lime, lemon, coconut, and almond extract.  I have also made vanilla and lemon sugars.  It has been fun making the new extracts.  And seeing how far they have come.  With any luck they will be ready by Christmas time.

Nate has had back problems for many years now.  He has been going to the doctor for several months now trying to get it taken care of.  They have finally decided on a course of action.  They decided to burn the nerve endings off by the muscles that were spasming.  This is the result of the first time.  It is a trial run that only last about a day.  He said it worked and can't wait for the final procedure to be done in a couple of months.
