Just waiting around

Well, the big excitement from the volcano has slowed down a bit. It is still on orange alert, and they are doing hourly updates so everyone can track it. It seems that the top is swelling, but nothing is coming out yet.

We are far enough from the volcano that we don't really have a lot to worry about, even if it does explode. If it explodes we will almost certainly have some ash fall, but we don't know how much, or what kind yet, that' just a wait and see kind of thing. But, the direction of the wind could send the ash anywhere, so we might not even get ash. So, we just get to enjoy the "fun" part of it without any of the real stress about it. We mostly just have to be sure that we don't drive if it erupts, since it is hard on cars.

Other than that, we are just doing our thing. We did a chinese food night, I brought home rice spring roll wraps, so we had fresh spring rolls and won tons stuffed with cream cheese stuff. It was good. Kind of last minute. It was fun though.

It has been really cold here lately. Windy, a little snow, and cold cold. Oh well, guess that's what we get for living in Alaska, eh? hehe. We love you all. Alicia
