Week 1

Well we are here and just can't get over the beauty of all of this. Now we have been warned that it will get nasty this winter so be prepared. We went on a walk on one of the trails. Now I have been to Arkansas on trails like that but had to pay somebody to do it. Here walk it everyday if you want or if you can with the weather for free. We walked it and I was a little tired after but not as tired as Roxie the pitbull she barley made it. I brought water for her and Dixie the Cur because the water is salt water along the trail. She wanted to stop and drink every few min. Dixie didn't care she was fine. I always though she was a little special but she was smarter than I gave here credit for. She walked on the big flat rocks looked like a jackrabbit Roxie just bulled through it the little rock hurt her feet so she was not impressed with the trail. When we hit the main trail it was alot of dirt so Roxie headed to the truck I was like the sled she was pulling with that leash saying I need to get to that truck. We also went grocery shopping that was a experience. The prices are higher than the lower 48. Somethings are extremely high. It is specially on things that you don't even consider in Louisiana. I go to the dollar store get salt for .50 to .75 here box of salt is 1.98 on sale. The brooms with the dust pan connected home 8 or 9 dollars here 15.00 that's the straw broom not the nylon one it was 17.00. I told carol we will just have to adjust on the way we eat and buy things. I bought a gallon of water for 1.99 to pour out so we could make orange juice because the gallon picture was 7.00 another thing we didn't think of bringing. Well you can't think of everything and not only that it ain't going to fit unless you want to naked. I know there is alot of things we will run into like that but it is just the way it goes. I will have to make a shopping list and send it to Louisiana to get it shipped up here. If you are planning to take the plunge make sure tupper ware, garbage bags, and paper goods come with you they like them here.
 The time change is another thing that is getting us it don't get dark until 11 and at home I start cooking supper about dusk. Dusk here 9:45 hour later when it is ready you are washing dishes at midnight. It is getting better last night we went to bed at 11:45 that was the earliest we have gone to bed sense we got here Saturday. It took 3 days to do that so the old body is still adjusting.
. Well I had to revoke my wife driving privages Tuesday she went to the school to look around her class and do some paperwork on the way back she got a speeding ticket. I don't mind supporting the local business but the state trooper association I do mind. There is only 2 state troopers on this island and she met one. The last part of the week went fine. We went to dinner for the first time in 2 weeks with out dogs that was a treat they are like kids but you can leave them by their self's. She is having a bad adjustment to Alaska everything moves slowly here. Nobody's in a hurry they shop drive and just about anything else sloow. She can't stand it. If she would just put that damn cell phone down she might make it. I give you a example. We were at the pizza place in a booth there were 4 kids about 15 to 17 years old. Not once I saw any of them pull a cell phone out. They were just having a good time eating a ACTUALLY talking. I haven't seen that in a long time. I will give you another week next going to buy a fishing license and see what trouble I can get into.
