Going 'Stir Crazy" in the "little white house" in the Arctic...

This morning, I got up but the plane was cancelled--it was really foggy and windy... so what does a girl do? she eats her breakfast-- oatmeal and an orange... has a bit of 'chit-chat' with the first lady that lived in the "little white house" one night before I arrived...(I would be the "lady in waiting")....after this chit chat...I went back to bed for 3 hours!-- I got up about noon.... had some lunch.. then headed to shopping.... how fun... to the northern!  Then talked to my mum on the phone for like an hour and a half (but been pretty darn BORED)... Last night there was some fear that our cable would go out.. and for a few moments it did... but have no fear we still have that!

I was starting to feel a bit 'stir crazy'... until the 'first lady' of the "little white house" suggested berry picking for some berries to add to the apple crisp for tonight's dinner... I was like.. sure I'll go.... here are some photos of that adventure....

Berries and the snow... look closely you will see them!

...picking berries...

...a view of our 'berry' patch...

...CHEESE... man it was windy and COLD!

..yup its a good day!

Toonoo Sharkey was carving outside his house... he was working on a big Char... we talked for a few minutes... he works outside even in the winter!  He's been carving since he was about 10 years old...he comes for a family of carvers... it was pretty neat to stop and see him working in his shop!

..it's going to be a pretty awesome piece when it's finished...

..isn't this the best workshop ever? (well today was a bit cold)!

..better watch out... those construction areas can be might dangerous.... sometimes you might even get whistled at!? who would have thought it...

well that's all from the 'little white house' in the arctic... let's hope that the wind dies down and the plane will come in Sunday at 3:40pm...cross your fingers...and wish with me!
