It's Friday nite.......

and we are tired.......!!!!! got up and dropped dogs and before it was time to drop again, Randy said, the Iditarod teams are here, we have to get out on the trail before they chew it up! So quickly we dropped and harnessed and did feet and he got out after about 10 teams had left here - Mark and Austin showed up just as we were hooking up (Cause Randy had told them not to come until noon or after) - so they were here in time to see: Lance Mackey, Sonny Lindner, Ken Anderson, Tim Osmar and some that I don't remember the names of = they were able to go visit with all of them with out the pressure of being downtown at the start - Sonny Lindner came over to our truck to visit saying he remembered last year when Randy helped his team get out of the crowd where they were giving out hot dogs.....His folks are still in Fremont and he spent probably 15 minutes talking with us. Quite an unexpected event having so many dog drivers her for Austin to get autographs and pictures!!

After we fed in the after noon we went to the University of Alaska at Anchorage Aviation building and had a tour by my brother's friend Paul Herrick - we saw the workshops and the simulators and Mark and Austin were able to get in a plane that holds 8 - pretty nice!!
Then we went to a very nice ITALIAN restaurant and I ordered the halibut and got it the way I love it with melted butter!! We were all stuffed!! Back here and drop dogs and now to bed!!! We love you all!!
