Yes, something finally happened around here...
No volcano eruption...
No baby, yet...
but...
a job!
Debbie just got a job as a Grant Assistant with the Kenaitze Indian Tribe. It is a temporary position until June -- perfect for the July due date! She starts on the 16th.
We're also house hunting, and are hoping to be able to make an offer soon.
Still snowing! But we can tell Spring is around the corner because there is a family of rabbits living under our stairs, and boy are they fat.
Until next time... *The Stantons*
Oh Debbie, you're young and you've got your health. What do you want with a job?! Ultimately, it eats into the amount of time you'll spend filleting King Salmon and skinning elk hides.
ReplyDeleteSo you have dinner living under the stairs, are those stairs outdoors or indoors? Arrrgggh, it's 10 degrees warmer in Clam Gulch than it is in West Chester.

Hello you two & 1/2. The scenery looks wonderful, excpet for the snow of course. We are getting rain and flooding again. But it goes with the spring I guess.
ReplyDeleteWe have a new news director, Nick Wilkens. He started Monday. He reminds me of you Ben. He has the same kind of enthusiasm.
Congrats on the job Debbie. It sounds interesting work with an Indian tribe. Give us details when you get them. Better go for now. The guys are back from sales training so I have to really do some work today. Take care.

ReplyDeleteIt is sooooooooooooooo good to here what all you are up to. Giant fat Arctic rabbits? Maybe you will attract an Arctic fox!
