Rain blast from the past! Our older grandchildren from another rainy camping trip! Such sweet faces!
Sharing the beauty of the mountains, the harsh cold, the mosquitoes, the love of being here, anything Alaskan, with pictures and words.

Rainy
We got to Clear in a downpour. It appears that I will not be able to post photos away from a wifi connection. I am happy for the connection that I do have way out here. It was upgraded to accomodate the road crew a few years back! Before that it was nearly impossible to send even texts! We had to get on our four wheelers and find a more receptive area.
I walked around camp yesterday and saw moose sign and some other sign, possibly porquepine.
I had a good quiet time this morning. I woke up reciting the Lord's prayer. Our Father which art... who art? So I got up to read my Bible. Those two words are very different. Which or who. So went to Matthew 5. Jesus teachings are so very deep, so very simple at the same time! The prayer in Matthew is "Our Father in heaven"... I was reciting a memorized prayer I believe from the Russian Orthodox prayer book. (I wish I had one of those little prayer books we had from RO sunday school.) My parents Senafont and Vera Shugak hosted the youth in their house when I was little.. Drip
Drip. Drip. Drip!!

Moose Hunting 2019
I'm planning to share stories and photos from our trip to Clear. Our son Klint and his family will join us. Yay! Hoping to find a legal young bull! The best meat for us right now.
I'm newly diagnosed Diabetes Type II with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which I've been told goes hand in hand with sugar problems. My husband also has liver problems and because of a massive heart attack in 2013 watches his cholesterol like a hawk! His doctor took him off of statins (yes!) So just for those two reasons any small amount of meat we eat has been doctor advised to be wild game or fish!
So here moosie, moosie. I mostly love the last of summer outdoors. The migrating birds. The change of the colors. My family being near!
May God grant safety and success to all 2018 hunters. We also remember and pray for families who live now without family members lost during hunting.

Where Am I Now?
I can more easily answer that question with where I am not right now.
I am not on Facebook!
I am not on Instagram!
Why? I was troubles by the stories coming out about the owners of those social media selling my personal information for their own personal monetary gain. They are not the only two doing that either. Another reason is how they are censoring the conservative and religious folks, that's me! So, I Twitter and many conservatives tweeted that they were leaving FB and I decided it was something I wanted to support and do also. I am now sharing on Mewe.com.
Mewe has been very, very laid back since I joined there in the early spring this year. It is still very quiet. I don't know how mewe will pay for itself for it does not take ads and right now they are pushing for upgrading from the free mewe to paid for upgrades which I have not had a need for yet. I think maybe it will be more gb space for all my photos and sharing.But I know that most internet users do not like to pay for their online activities so I don't know if mewe will last. Mewe also has an App to mobile post.
Right now, I am thinking I will return to the blogging world.... but it is owned by google which is another like FB. :(
Since I have been off of facebook and instagram I have had no instant interaction with people I know so I am like set back years in being in the know. At first not seeing the latest pictures, notes, news and all the silly faces there I really missed it all! It was like going through withdrawals from coffee. But now I am in a good place with it all. I can share with my family and friends on texting and also email for bigger stuff. So yes, it seems like I have been set behind years and years!
