DR Rodzinski - I, too, spent a lot of time reading the Peanuts fan sites last night. Charles M. Shulz was an Army buddy of my 6th grade homeroom teacher. Mr Rainey used to tell us stories about him all the time. And of course there are the great peanuts statues around St. Paul. I have some photos of them at home, I'll try to remember to post one or two when I get back
The Pacific Northwest is expected to move into record-setting temperatures for the next few days. June is usually mild, temperature-wise; but starting today the thermometer is suppsed to climb to around 90, till probably Tuesday.
It’s difficult to pack for Alaska when we are experiencing heat waves in the Northwest. I will also need to pack more clothes for the changes in temperatures. The average temps for Alaska are 60-63 degrees with possible rain and it should be very cold when we go through the glaciers.
Last night I travelled to Portland to see little Taylor's dance recital...she and her 3 to 4 year old group danced as ducks to the song Donald Duck! It was cute...all in all there were 2 hours worth of program from kids age 3 to mid teens...and it was all quite fun!
Well, I'm off to work, but later today, I'm ushering for another dance recital (after ushering for one last week). This group (Debbi's Dance) dressess most of their girls in not age-appropriate costumes and teaches them to dance like they're going to become Vegas showgirls! AND they're they only dance school that charges to go to their recitals...but people do go. At least I don't have to pay.
Off to sort through my clothes.TCB you take care of yourself today.
DR Jane - while I was shopping at a Coldwater Creek store in Illinois, my mother got to talking about her upcoming cruise with one of the clerks, who used to live in Alaska. She recommended gloves, which my mom had not thought of, since her trip is in early September.
DR Jane and Ginny's Mother -- Be sure to take along several of those disposable plastic rain ponchos. They usually sell for around $1.50 each, and they come in a package about the size of a cigarette pack, so they are easy to pack. They can be reused, but good luck trying to fold them back up into their little pouch again. They saved a lot of us from becoming drowned rats in the Falkland Islands, when a squall moved in, and the cruise ship decided to suspend tender service until the sqaull passed (about two hours).
