Lance Mackey did it again! He is the now 3-time champion of the longest dog race in the world, the Iditarod! What a champ he and his dogs are and I can’t image how proud he must feel of his team to take him over 1000 miles across Alaska. WOW. Here he is pulling into Nome today, around 11:15 AM. The sun was shining high in the sky, the air was crisp, and there wasn’t any wind!! If that isn’t a miracle, I don’t know what is here in Nome. LOL. Enjoy. Oh yeah, and the first thing he wanted after finishing this 10 day race………a cheeseburger! I wonder who gets the privilege of grilling that up for him?! I hope its big and juicy.

After the kind of weather we’ve had all winter, I am SO ready for some spring! I do love the snow, but the longer days and brighter warmer sun has really put spring in my spirit! I am really itching to get outside more, especially with the kids. With that in mind, it will be so exciting to hear the first birds chirp as they return for the summer. One of my favorite memories as a child was waking up to the happy birds singing outside my window, the bright sun streaming on my face. Hearing the birds every spring is like catching a whiff of a familiar scent and immediately bringing back a good memory. Come home soon little birdies! Your home awaits!
