It has been such a long time since I have posted anything!  Winnie and I got back to NC in June and have been busy ever since. I took a long term sub. position and started a class for my masters'. Winnie is enjoying swimming in the lake that's not even frozen over!   Some of these pictures are from after we got back and others are from when we were still in Fairbanks.  Sure am loving this long fall we are having down here in the south!  It does not feel like Halloween though because there is no snow on the ground.  We are not taking the weather for granted and are enjoying our time here.  Looking forward to heading back up north though!  Happy Halloween everybody!
