Cross Cultural Creations

My clever six year old nephew Nummies took a small plastic bow and added duct tape to make a cross bow after he saw me reading about the Vikings and other early peoples.

Here I am a budding photographer and observer of the universe! Ruby's Spring Carnival Men's Snowshoe Race 2007 featuring my dad.



New Year 2011

We can't really see fireworks on July 4th due to the "Midnight Sun" so we just usually hear kids blowing off steam with firecrackers. In the bush, many villages as well as other Alaskan residents watch colorful fireworks at midnight even if it is cold enough to freeze off your butt. You can see Sheldon and I still have ours despite way below zero degree! Dad also shoots off a shotgun each New Year's Eve as is the tradition in the bush. Only time ya can waste shell.

New Year's advice from Aunt Kate-2009 column



Here I am tending a bonfire again to honor the New Year's Eve 2010 birthday of my late aunt. It was cold so we all roasted marshmallows inside the indoor wood stove. My mom wanted me to reprint this advice my Aunt Kate wrote in her garden column from a January 2009 Norwood Post issue.

 " 'Tis the season to weave what you feel into the fabric of your life. Plant a seed of kindness wherever you go. Nurture the love that you have with friends and family. If a relationship seems to be failing, mend it with faith. Mulch your newly found friendships with care and understanding. Pull the weeds of unhappiness before they get a strong hold."

Sounds good to me. When her newspaper made budget cuts, she wrote that she had been "touched by the terminator." I wish I had known her better, she had a wicked sense of humor I am told. "Ta Ta" to you too.

Frog River School or Nogheet No' flying frog school mascot

I took this photo during the 2011 New Year's eve fireworks show. It looks like a leaping FROG! My homeschool is named after the Nowitna River. Nogheet No' means Frog River in Athabascan. My mom said this is a good omen as it appeared on my Aunt Kate's birthday. She passed away last December. I met her only a few times in Colorado. 

Oh yeah, surf time!

My class schedule - ugh.

I think I have more work now at homeschool and I have to stay on task to finish assignments. I sm still getting used to Calvert since starting in the 2nd semester. Can feel my brain growing.....at least I get xbox time after school.

My desk and textbooks

This is my desk and we have many maps on the wall including Alaskan and native ones. I have lots of supplies.

Home at School

IDEA is my school district and I work on this Dell. My bedroom is just behind the wall.
