Been a very busy month. My orders came in, and I'm scheduled to make the Ferry from Haines, AK to Bellingham, WA the first week in May. My refresher training starts in Lemoore on May 10th. So I've spent the last several weeks trying to get ready to check out of this command and set up my move. I'll spend only about 5 months "home" in Lemoore over the next 2+ years, so there's no use in uprooting the family until my schedule becomes a little less dynamic. Meanwhile, Pappy and Grammie will be here to help Jolene and the boys. We made the trip out to Willow last week to watch the Iditarod start. Our Christmas lights are back on around the outside of the house, and will stay on unti the last musher makes it into Nome. The leaders are battling it out right now in their last day or two on the trail. Jolene will post those pics later after she downloads them from the camera. The pics on this post are from here around the house. The two adult eagles are back building their nest again this year. Spot (the one missing the wing feather) is just as feisty as ever. They'll lay their eggs around the first of April.
Jolene and Grammie are due back today after spending the weekend up at Chickaloon for a program called 'Becoming an Outdoors Woman' with courses in snow shoeing, dog mushing, x-country skiing, big game hunting, snow machining and others. They should have some good pictures and stories to tell when they get back.
