one more day

JaDee is staying one more day. Here is his e-mail from this morning. His sister EmRee is wanting him to put together a fireside for the youth of Lovell WY when we go there in June. Since our brother in law, Travis is the Young Men's President We think that can be arranged.

See how dangerous it is to be away, Honey! Your sister and wife are conspiring together against you.

But I guess that is because we are so darn proud of you!

How are you and the kids really doing? Let me know. I am not really
worried about work. Dale is out until later this week I think Thursday.
Anyway he was way excited. If the weather is bad they may not fly us out
anyway. Let me know how you are really doing. You can give me a call in
the morning if you would like to talk about it.

Tucker is coming to Anchorage for some tests on the 7th of April I suppose. Anyway I am going to invite him to dinner or something. Do not even know if it is a possibility, but I need to invite. Can I just tell you that it has been
years since I have dealt with a touching culture.

All and all I think I am doing OK( personal space and all) Well I love you and will write later.

Love

And here is tonight's update....

Well it was a good choice to stay another day. The wind is blowing with gusts above 40 mph. Sustained above 20MPH. We have a bunch of Dogs going to come in tonight between 10pm and 2am. they have to come into the wind for the 70 miles. Any way things are good. We just had a plane turn around and not land. I would not get on a small plane today. We are all being safe and a large plane may come and get all of the dogs and me tomorrow. No need to stay longer as there will not be any more mushers coming in for a while. After today there are only 13 left to come through and way spread out. Anyway love you and will write again when I get a chance.

PS EmRee asked if I was spellchecking his e-mails....that would be affirmative. Anyone who knows JaDee knows he does not spell well, at all.

Does JaDee know you or what! He kept asking how you really were doing. Just you and the kids...How are you really doing?

How fun getting these updates. I will make sure Mitch reads them. What an experience... only in Alaska! I am cracking up over Olivia's dress covering her "bagina"-- Oh my goodness! Marin will not stay dressed either-- seriously it is this huge battle whenever we go out, she kicks and screams because she wants to wear her pajamas-- these Mermaid ones that are too small and barely cover her bum! 3 year olds are a treat aren't they??

I agree with Sherie that JaDee totally knows you. That's nice he keeps asking how you are doing. Although I'm not sure what he could possibly do if you said you were going crazy (I'm glad your not). I hope the weather clears up so he can come home!

I love that you are correcting his spelling. Spencer is a terrible speller, too.

A little quote or two...

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving

BOOK HOUSE from the paper of my Grandfather Sidney W. Campbell

I always think the cover of a book is like a door Which opens into someone's house where I've not been
before. A pirate or a fairy queen may lift the latch for me. I always wonder when I knock, what welcome there will be. And when I find a house that's dull, I do not often stay But when I find one full of friends, I'm apt to spend the day. I never know what sort of folks will be within you see. And that's why reading always is so interesting to me. ~~Annie Fellows Johnston
