Alaska!

Ms. Juliette arrived up in the Great North in the midst of one of our greatest storms this winter. She stood through the 100+ mile per hour winds for over 12 hours - then her adventures of shoveling her way out to explore the Chugach National Forest started!

She went out on a snowshoe adventure up and down the South Fork of the Eagle River. Traversing the solid ice over the river, back and forth she went for miles until dusk (3:30 pm):

The following day another great windstorm kept Ms. Juliette indoors ... so what did she do? Ms. Juliette helped around the house - baking and decorating gingerbread, chocolate shortbread, and orange-vanilla sugar Christmas cookies:

On Sunday we had a lull in the wind gusts and snow, so she went outside, helped hang Christmas lights on the house and shoveled the driveway so that she could depart the next day! Off on her way to visit the warm islands of Hawai'i.

We enjoyed Ms. Juliette's stay with us up here in Alaska!
