Time to stop in and say hi.
  I stumbled on this site while on a rant looking for ways to help the villiages up north and have thoroughly ENJOYED reading all the posts from you wonderful people.
I'm loving having a place to hear from other Alaskans!! 
I live in a little cabin at the end of the road 13 miles from Wrangell.  Been in Wrangell nigh onto 40 years now and could never live anywhere else! Just can't beat paradise. Like most of you Alaskans my summers are spent working my butt off getting ready for winter and spend winters staying warm and fattening up on the fruits of the summer's labor while enjoying the company of wonderful friends and family.
  I also substitute teach at the elementary school.  This winter it feels like I'm the only sub in town,  been pretty much a full-time job lately, but I love being with the kids to say nothing of needing the paycheck.  I can't stay up with the grown-ups anymore anyhow so their schedule works just fine with me.  Funny how that happens.  I love pictures so - here's Gramma's cabin at the end of road.

  Looking forward to getting to know you!

   Glad you have stopped in here and introduced yourself to us!    Your home is very beautiful, but it looks rather cold outside

   Glad to have you here.  You also, I see, are an accomplished photographer.  I saw Bullet and Pearl on the photo thread and look forward to seeing more pics.

Hello to you too and a big  to the Forum.

That's a fairy-tale home you have there at the end of the road - really pretty.

Welcome Jeannette! Your home looks just lovely in the blue light and I loved your furry friends. Stay warm and keep posting!

  Jeanette- a big hey from the state of Colorado Our mountains look like that, but I'm in Denver- and we look look like the Banana Belt this year:  today it was 70^o and very windy.  Hope you enjoy your saty on Mudflats...

[GrammasCabin]

Alright Forty Watt  and you too Almost Native!  you just stop that with the 70 degrees business!  No fair.  Not really too bad here tho, was 16 this morning but warmed up to nearly 30 what with the beutiful clear skies and sunshine.  Didn't see much of it except on the playground at school tho, dark thirty by the time I got back home.  I'm not really an accomplished photographer tho, just point and click, it's my pretty surroundings that deserve any credit.

Erin, I'm sorry, I don't know how to PM!  I'm still a dinosaur.  I'm excited to hear from someone born in Wrangell tho!  Do you still have family here?  Who do you know that I know?  We can catch up on some gossip.  When did you leave and where are you now?

Thanks for the welcome Almost Native!  How's that work anyway?  I keep telling my native friends that I'm more Indian than they are 'cause I"m the only one I see out there crawling in the muskeg for cranberries and digging roots for medicine.  's that what you mean?

Thanks problem child, I just love miy tiny little home in the woods.  Any bigger and the kids would start moving back home, besides, they wouldn't like living "way out the road"!  like there's so much to do in town - not!

Recess anyone?

[Erin]

Jeannette,
To PM, simply click on the IM button right below their picture.  That will bring you to a page that will allow you to send a private message to that person. 

Thanks for the picture of the playground- that's where I went to elementary school!  It's great to see the old playground again.  Is the covered play area still used a lot?  That's where I used to play most days, since it was raining most of the time.

Hi Jeannette,
If you haven't figured out your Private Messages yet, just look at the top of the page where it says, "Hey, Jeannette, you have 1 messages, 1 is new."  Click where it says "1 messages" and that will bring you to your private messages.

Hi back- great picture of the kidlets (I taught the big high school munchkins )

As for my name:  the big joke in Colorado is being a Flatlander (you migrated here), Semi-Native (born elsewhere, but lived in CO for many years), or a Native- both of our daughters are "natives", and we have lived in Colorado for 32 years, so that makes me a CO almost native

If you have time, send us some snow, ok?

[GrammasCabin]

Oh good on you, Native!  I get called to sub at the high school now and then but them creatures scare me!  I much prefer the little ones, they're much smarter.  Won't even go near the middle school, way too many hormones!

Thanks for explaining, btw.  Hmmm, I've been here 40 years and my grands are native, wonder if I qualify for Sourdough status yet.
