AND, it begins....

A few of my favorite pictures of last summer....

Josh "falling" jumping out of the boat~ Oh yeah Glacier water... BURRRRR

Another bear shot, trying to catch a salmon...The Kenai River, our favorite bend in the river

Oz last spring in the wonderful sun, green grass.....

Daisies make me happy....

I am sorry for being stealth for the last week.. I can't even begin to explain...... I go to Anchorage tomorrow for the beginning.. Not sure exactly what it's the beginning of at this point... Just glad to be leaving for a few weeks.... I am sick inside to leave Oz for so long.... I know though that he will be safe and cared for... I had this great blog in my history in case I died during surgery.. But then thought about how crazy that was... It did, however cause me to sit and reflect on people I needed to forgive, people I needed to let know how very much I love and treasure them. This week has been horrible.. We are so ready for light and spring...... Thank God it's finally here... I can't wait to get some down time in the next few days to hang out and read your blogs.... I have missed all of you and your daily words.....

Peace ~ Martina

I know You want pics from this weekend... BUT the 3 cameras we took, one is charging, and we can't seem to find the cords to the other two... So that Post will be hopefully Wed.. But here are a few shots from my Wildlife file from last summer! This sneaky bear was camping w/ us all weekend We just didn't see him, until we packed up camp and floated down the river to fish, came back by and there he was looking for food! Our Dog Apollo, Brian was making a few trips back to the rig from base camp on an island and Apollo thought we left him..... Great shot of him and the gear! This turkey ran away from home and we so wanted to keep him, but we fed him and sent him on his way!

Just a side note.. Made Almond Joys and peanutbutter cups, From Scratch BABY.. Pics to come!

SEE... My very own SNOWMAN~

I love this pic SEXY BEAST huh?

Out on the Ocean w/ friends catching some supper!

There seems to be some confusion on what my Sugadaddy looks like.. The pic I posted yesterday of Josh.. Josh is my 16 year old son!!! Just newly 16.. I know.... I know.. he eats lots of FISH and in the summer has LOTS of SUN! That's why he is soooo HAIRY....

This is one of my fav's whenever Sugadaddy is catchin hogs, he is the happiest!
