Also, we made snow candles once, kinda like sand candles.

Plenty of old geezers up here, too, except they call themselves snowbirds and head down to warmer climes every winter.

We do plenty of complaining, too. In the summer, our boat races consist of crafts made from cardboard and duct tape.

And with such style and good taste too! I love Alaska's spirit and your funny tales about it.<br /><br />We have crazy boat races here in warmer weather, with non-seaworthy piles of junk competing to get to the finish line before sinking.

I've taken to wearing house sweaters, like Mr. Rogers.<br /><br />@Marguerite,<br />The chamber of commerce will be thrilled to hear about this!<br /><br />@lifeshighway,<br />Alaska is at the forefront of the refinement movement in America. I believe Miss Manners herself has a summer cottage in our fair state.<br /><br />@gardenwalkgardentalk.com,<br />The racing dogs are beginning to resemble those professional marathoners: no body fat. They are sure excited to get harnessed up and go though.<br /><br />CBChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-19775992618264992672011-02-28T10:41:13.704-08:002011-02-28T10:41:13.704-08:00What a hoot this must have been with an outhouse r...What a hoot this must have been with an outhouse race.

I used to live on a gulf island in British Columbia, Canada and every year, during summer mind you, with bicycles, they had an outhouse race around the entire island. I thought I would never see anything like it ever again. Never say never.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-87145918714811164892011-02-28T08:08:00.679-08:002011-02-28T08:08:00.679-08:00Christine, Your posts never fail to entertain me. ...Christine, Your posts never fail to entertain me. This time, sitting in a cozy 70 degree room shivering at the thought of windchills that would make Santa shake in his boots. [Or Mary in keeping with your theme.] Kudos for donning the kids in their winter wears and taking on this project which just proves that Alaska has no winter wusses. Here's wishing you an early spring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
