I have to admit that I am not a very good blogger, tweeter or face booker...

RAW Diet

I'm wearing our new product that you asked for, Click Goggles Readers, they will be online shortly for sale,,,,
It's Almost Christmas Again..... I know, I'm such a bad blogger. But, this I have to share with you, you know how we all want to loose weight and make these New Years resolution to exercise and start that diet.

Well after receiving a wonderful DVD a year ago, I re-visited it again last night. Did you know that through eating a raw diet you can basically protect yourself from getting known diseases. That a raw diet is packed with such healing nutrients, and the best part is you can eat as much as you want and won't put on an ounce of weight.

I ordered a Juicer, and will start my new lifestyle plan shortly. I used to use the excuse that because we live remotely (two hrs to the closest grocery store) that it was impossible to eat fresh vedgies and fruit.

I decided that it's difficult, but not impossible. The corner store carry's vedgies, and also, Fred Myers will pick your food for you and you can have it delivered via Road Runner to town.

I will keep everyone posted.....so, let's all take personal responsibility for our health and lives... happy Holidays everyone.

A True Alaskan!!!

Well, I bought myself a new camera so that I can take quality pictures this summer of the guests that are going to come through my shop and want to dress up in good time girl costume.

Now, being a newbie to SLR camera's, I did a lot of research into which ones are idot proof and still will pull off the best pictures. So, I decided on Sony's Alpha 330L. So, far so good, however I needed a practice pig to practice different techniques on. I wanted her to be Alaskan, so, I enlisted who I thought would be a the best subject, one who would be happy with, shall we say treats, no, no not tricks. One that would patiently wait for me to try out different settings, and , lighting situations. A true Alaskan, who has more than 50% of her blood line going back into the early times of Alaskan history. None other than Gertie-Lee, my Alaskan Sled Dog Dobberman mix. So, here are some of the first results.

Vancouver 2010 Olympics Countdown......

Well, it was an exciting time in Vancouver, BC. I just returned and the city was exploding with the count down to the winter Olympics. Athletees pictures painted on the side of buildings in downtown Vancouver.

My trip consisted of eating a whole lot of Sushi, breakfast at Sophie's Cosmic Cafe, and walking downstairs from my daughters and having great tasting rich coffee and homemade cinnamon buns. I couldn't tell who was more baked the buns or the staff.

I got to see lots of old friends, go to pottery sales and saw Michael Moore's movie, "Capitalism, A Love Story" which I highly recomend.

A high lite of my trip was spending time with my daughter, son-in law, and his son. They took me to a Canucks Hockey Game, which was awesome, loved it. The Sedin Twins, Henrick and Daniel just doing their magic on ice and scoring goals. And thanks for the tickets Alex Edler, Canucks Team Player and to Barry for asking. I so appreciated it, and had a blast.

The down and up side was the weather, it rained almost every day, which, when, it's raining in Vancouver, it's snowing in Whistler................yeh that means Of course, it's going to be great for the Winter Olympics...and good luck to all the participants. Wish, I'd be there for the Canada vs USA Hockey game, but, $4500. a ticket is just a little bit out of my price range.

Whenever you leave Alaska, you so look forward to "going outside" as it's referred to, but, there is a love hate relationship, as, you begin to miss and look forward to coming back homw. My husband and dog Gertie were happy to see me. Of course I missed all of my Alaskan friends and family. I love being back home in Healy..... and made it for Christmas and will be going out for New years at Clear Sky Lodge, the best steaks anywhere..................
See you all in the New Year, and make it a good one.

Iditarod Update......

It's been 3 months since I came from fromt he Iditarod Sled Dog Race in Nome. I participated in a 6 day craft show. I've got to tell you, it was such an amzing experience and recommend it to anyone.

At the craft show, there were Eskimo carvers, carving ivory, and making the "Ruff" the fur trim that goes around the hood of a parka.

I ate Muskot sausage for breakfast, which was delish....

Now, of course when the siren rang, it meant another musher was about to cross the finish line. It was very exciting. Lance Mackey won again, third year in a row, and have my T-shirts, .....dirty dog and his wife has the ......alaskan Hussie one, for more info on these t-shirts check the web site.

The banqueet dinner at the end of the Iditarod was exciting, to hear Mushers' story's about their trials and tribulations as they made their way to Nome on this 1000 mile race. Some scratched, some were held back by blizzards, and many came in with frost bitten faces.

Thanks to Matt at Airport Pizza for letting me go around and sell my T-shirts during the beer tasting event. Which many were sold, from the woman who looked at a t-shirt and couldn't stop laughing to the point where she fell over still sitting in her chair and still laughing her head off.

From the great friends that I met, like Karen from Washington, who came to Nome to learn how to be a street walker, this was because the side walks on the side street was so narrow...........what were you thinking?

Go to Nome.............you just have to.

We're No Angels opens up first shop in Alaska

We just opened up our frst shop and beauty salon in Healy, Alaska.

Two weeks ago with the opening of our first shop, we were off to a good start. Because of our desired location, close to Denali National Park, we are attracting a lot RV er's and of course locals.

Due to the cost to insulate our shop in he winter, it will be a seasonal shop catering to the locals and tourist alike.

So, if you are driving through from Anchorage to Fairbanks, stop by, we are locted at the Chevron Staton in Healy............
C'ya then

2009 Iditarod Sled Dog Race Under Way...

The great race is now under way as of yesterday March 07, 2009. We wish our friends David Sawatzky of Healy, Alaska and Jeff King of Denali Park, Alaska, the very best of luck this year with the race.

What an exciting time, they will have to endure high winds, lots of snow, and varying degrees in ice cold temperatures to being sleep deprived. It really is a race that requires so much of a person in endurance, yet, it is still so under-rated in terms of what other sports generate in the ransom that can be won. Now, my hope is that it will come into it's own in time and earn the respect that it well deserves.

I'm not sure if Discovery Channel will be here this year and have another season featuring the Last Great Race, the Iditarod. I only hope that they will continue on with another season, as, it is so amazing and exciting to see.

I'm leaving for Nome, Alaska, where the finish line is in one week, I can hardly wait. I'll bring back a full report. All the best to everyone this year in the 2009 Iditarod.....go Dave and Jeff
