    Spring Update

    And again, weeks have gone by without an update… but by now I’m sure you know what that means, right? Busy-ness on the home front! Last time I posted from Fairbanks, Alaska hoping to report in with pictures of the Northern Lights. Sadly, I didn’t get to see them. I had found out, just a day or two before I…

    Sight-seeing in Alaska

    My hotel room in Anchorage faced toward the water, but there were tall buildings in the way, so my view was limited to a narrow opening between the buildings. There was a beautiful sunset Monday evening, the day I arrived. After that, the skies were mostly gray and not beautiful. Also, the conventions kept us busy so there wasn’t a…

    Day 2 in Anchorage

    Today is the 2nd day of the Anchorage conference. Our booth is next to our sister company, BookShark, and the 4 of us have been having a good time, though there hasn’t been much time for sightseeing. We do have weekend off, so I’m hoping the weather will be clear enough to get some nice pictures. I would love to…

Would love to linger in the Seattle springtime, but I’m only here for a couple hours today. Headed on north for my Alaska adventure…

    Duluth Airport

    Waiting for our flight back to Denver from Duluth via Minneapolis. There are a total of 4 gates at this little airport, with 6 flights out today… and not very many people for “people-watching” purposes! Duluth is chilly, damp, and gray in the spring, based on my experience this week.

    Minnesota

    Layover in Minneapolis on our way to Duluth. If you squint you can see the city way off in the distance. We’ll be setting up for the MACHE conference this afternoon.

    Upcoming Travels

    This past week was our annual training conference at Sonlight. It’s a time when the convention consultants get together to learn about any changes for the new catalog and prepare for the upcoming convention season. It’s something I look forward to every year, but it’s always an intense week. This year was a little different since I now go into…

    Settling In

     I guess it’s way past time for an update. We are gradually settling into our new home. The weather has been quite variable. January was overall pretty mild. Last weekend we got a good bit of snow, turning our backyard into a Winter Wonderland.  Two weeks ago we made a quick trip to Kansas over the weekend to meet up…
