I am still learning new things about living up here and was specifically wondering how much oil we went through during that cold week (I heard everything running all night). I'm glad that it finally warmed up so that cars can run and being outside is more pleasant!<br /><br />AdrienneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661437282992490776.post-5187932292113224192012-02-02T18:45:58.868-08:002012-02-02T18:45:58.868-08:00Well I think that you have to be a real pioneer to...Well I think that you have to be a real pioneer to be able to love and want to adapt to that. I admire you and the others there. <br /><br />How interesting is your life to read about. You still go to school. School stays open. <br /><br />I marvel at this story.<br /><br />sandieChatty Cronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232040517217024681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1661437282992490776.post-81938239126818240122012-02-02T03:45:02.892-08:002012-02-02T03:45:02.892-08:00Wow!

Our schools keep them in if it's below freezing (which is not that often during the day in NC). <br />I often daydream about spending a few years in Alaska and experiencing a "real winter". I probably romanticize it since I have read many romance novels and watched many movies with Alaska as the setting. <br />I just finished rereading "The Long Winter" by Laura Ingalls Wilder and it's hard for me to imagine how people live in such extreme temperatures. Thanks for telling us more about how you cope. :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936363382703421997noreply@blogger.com
