Zoya spends the weekend home afterall



Chalk me up as someone who is happy about Redoubt's recent activity. On Thursday Zoya was supposed to go over to Anchorage for some training and not come back until Sunday. But the class got cancelled when the volcano erupted because the instructor could not make it up from Seattle to teach the class. Zoya could not leave the island either. So we got Zoya for the whole weekend. And my daycare issues got a lot less onerous. Thank you Redoubt Volcano!

Today we went for a classic cross country ski across Buskin Lake and up the river. Fresh snow from last night that was surprisingly deep. It mostly rained at our house but at the Buskin there was 4 to 5 inches of new snow. On the way home we made it a date and had brunch at Mill Bay Coffee. Eggs Benedict, Zoya and me - and no kids. Heaven.

The other photo is one Zoya took of the sunrise yesterday morning. Patrick
