Saturday home...for a change

Been following Mary's posts on Tims first Iditarod experience. Tim and Mary come to our MUSH fall meeting and provide a vaccination clinic for our dogs. They are two of the nicest most down to earth people, and fun to hang out with too. Tim has been to Europe to run the Grande Oddysee (SP?) and had run other mid and long distance races, but this is his first Iditarod, and so we are cheering for him...it would be so cool if he won, but even finishing that race is an achievment. Here is the link, if you'd like to take a look. http://mary-northernplights.blogspot.com/ I can't wait to hear what happens in the next couple weeks that Tim will be on the trail.

Here is another link to the Sweetwater Challenge article that Meyerson did in the GR press.
The video took forever to download on my computer...dial up...:(

Not much else happening...raining, dreary and Ted and I watched movies for most of the day. We're going to bed really early tonight, because we have to be in GR at 5:15 tomorrow morning for his MRI. I AM NOT a morning person...and prefer to stay in a nice warm bed until at least 7:30 a.m. So, being kinda easy, he bribed me with breakfast "out"...which worked. Wonder if it would just be too white-trashy if I wore my flannel pj's and a sweatshirt??

I love that video. I posted it on my blog and put the link on facebook. :) I'm very proud of you.
I hope it's not white trashy because that's what I do almost every day. I wanted to go to church in my lobster pants but I figure I could slap on some jeans quick. :)

Love you!
