I love to read and have a very widr range of intrest
INTERESTS
FISHING is my great love and I share it with the kids in my life.We catch a lot more fish than we could ever use. I have learned to smoke fish and to can fish. And to can the smoked fish. I fight with the vacum sesker and fill up the freser. In the winter I like to read more and make a quilt sometimes.In the spring I like to teavel around this partof Alaska and watch the wild life.The bears come down the snow slides and the moose hide in the willows with their calves.
TELEVISION
I like to watch the hunting and fishing shows. Will leave it on for background sometimes. Don't have much paitence with game shows. I haven't found reality shows to be very real. Usually watch the news and keep up with the markets a bit.
HEROES
I think most people are capable of heroic actions and some of heroic times. We all seem to be just as capable of blunders of heroic proportions.
Icame to Alaska 12 years ago because I was spending all my time waiting to come back up here on my next vacation. I work with troubled 'teens and fish for Salmon most days in the summer.Just take them with me.I'm a single grandmother that has always fished and hunted and enjoyed the outdoors. One of my sons lives in the area, but the other two live in the lower 48.
Mike, I did see your updates and I was SOOOO jealous! I wish I knew how to use the website that well. Looks like you have had a wonderful year too. I plan to play catch up when this ice melts. The boys and I were smoking fish today and had to cut a flat spot in the ice to set up the smoker. It was in the 20's so we could smoke lol. When it is colder we can flavor with the smoker but it won't cook. Jane
Jane, I use photobucket.com to make my slideshows and it gives you links to where you can embed them in your profile.
Hey Mike, Thanks for remembering me. Love the pictures. Jane
Hey Jane! Did you see how I updated my profile page with slideshows? Getting ready for our big annual vacation down to the dirty South in Florida on the Gulf to do some shark fishing! Traded in my old 99 Silverado on a newer 2006 GMC Yukon XL 2500 (3/4 ton) SUV and it's really nice! We'll be driving down in luxury and all the fishing gear will fit! We leave on the 19th and I got a house on South Venice island, just a short walk from Sharkey's fishing pier that goes 1,000 feet out into the gulf! Getting excited!
Here is a slide shows of pictures! Had a great few days down on the farm. Found the buck I stuck and there is a picture in there of how he looked minus his hind quarter section but you can see the hole where I had hit him. And then pictures of my big doe and other trail cam pictures. Checkout all the gobblers we caught on trail cams! I blew a huge hole in the doe with a 12 ga slug but I was using those Brenneke 1 & 3/8 oz Black Magic Magnums!

Every flower has a history and every flower symbolizes something. Often the history and symbols are confusing and contradictory but they are still fascinating. If your birthday is in the month of June, your flower is the rose. Here is the story and language of your flower.
The Linguistic Roots for the Name Rose
The Latin name for the rose, rosa, literally means red. Diana Wells suggests that saying that rose means red is like saying the heart is a muscle situated on the left side of the rib cage, it is an incomplete understanding of what the blossom symbolizes.
History of the Flower
Quite possibly the most popular flower in the history of the world, the rose has a multitude of legends and myths surrounding it. A flower of such prominence must be related to the gods of our world or at least one would think so when considering the wealth of otherworldly associations attached to the blossom. Was the smile of Amor the source of our first rose or did it fall from the hair of the goddess of dawn, Aurora?
The sweet scent and frowsy beauty of the blossom resulted in it being popular among the rulers of this world. The infamous Cleopatra had her pillows filled with rose petals. Romans used petals to decorate their feasts and even had canopies filled to shower petals upon the guests. Sometimes the Romans love of roses became too much and the shower of petals would actually smother guests.
The Symbolism of Roses
Jewish legends attributed the color of the rose to the first blood that darkened the earths soil. The Teutons believed the rose was a symbol of the underworld and called their battlefields rose gardens.
Sorry to hear that Jane, prayers from Ohio! I've been bad sick to but I think I'm getting better! Got a stomach flu on vacation and it infected/enflamed my diverticulitis so I've been living on antibiotics for the last week... I hope you get better fast!

The April flower is the daisy. Daisies are associated with innocence. The gerbera daisy has large colorful blooms, which has made it a favorite with flower lovers. There is a legend that a nymph wanting to escape unwanted attention, transformed herself into the daisy. Ever after this the April birth flower has the flower meaning of implicity and modesty. An alternate birth flower for April is the sweet pea.
The Gerbera Daisy is a perennial favorite. This daisy and April birth flower is a wonderful flower to design boquets with as it can be the focal point or an accent. The Gerbera Daisy is actually a perennial herb native to South Africa. The Gerbera Daisy is also known as the African Daisy, Transvaal Daisy, Gerb, and Barberton Daisy. It is one of the most popular cut flowers.
Just thought maybe you could use a flower today! If that made ya smile, my mission was accomplished!
