Sunday is for Family

Mother

Tybee Island, Ga

1948

Sassy was disappointed that the snow flurries didn't amount to much. She's content to stay inside and work on her Nylabone.

Stolen my heart already !!!...lOL..I also was reading your older posts and noticed under a photo of you and your Mother it said Erie, Pa. Well....small world I am from Erie ( right now live in Girard, but still in Erie County just a few miles west on the shore. My Mother's Family is 100% Polish and Catholic and grew up on the East side of Erie in the Late 1930's - Present..... Maybe our family members from way back were acquainted even , who knows ??...
Sounds like you have a full and fun life with your pooch's and travel.... I am enjoying your posts about Alaska and the Iditarod and such...I've always thought I would want to live there...I miss wide open spaces...we had a 125 acre dairy farm for years...ahhhh...nostalgia...lol
Come back and visit my Blog and read about my new adventures with Hanky Panky the Super duper woof woof.... ( so corny I know)

You would not believe how they have stuck a building in every nook and crannie! Mamma could not believe it when we went last year because she had not been in so long. Who is in the car? Your dad? Love Sundays! SH; January 18, 2009 at 8:08 AM

Also want you to know that I enjoy your posts. Read them every day...for that matter, a few times a day. Also thoroughly enjoy your Dogdaze blog. Have you ever thought about writing a book? Your writing is incredible. Great photo's too I might add. Keep up the good work.
I'm not a writer myself but do enjoy everyone's postings....some informative, some educational...and some can be hillarious at times which also makes them all sooooo interesting. God Bless.

Edie and Gus said...: Thought I would pass on a link to a good friend's blog since you are a mushing fan. She is a sprint musher here in Fairbanks who was selected to race for Team USA in the World Championships in Daaquam, Quebec this week.

Jennifer has been the Limited North American Champion here in the 6 dog class. Her dogs are amazing! She has helped my daughter learn to sprint race as well, and helped her participate in the Junior North American Sled Dog Championships for 2 years. Jennifer's own children are also amazing dog mushers!

Sprint racing is shorter distance dog mushing for speed. The races are typically 3 day events. The dogs are very different than those that race long distance such as the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod.
I hope you check out her blog as she undertakes this major event. I am fully expecting her to win!

Here's her site:

And by the way, I am a 2nd grade teacher. Been at it for 20 years!; January 18, 2009 at 11:44 PM
