so i have to apologize to those that are faithful readers to my blog, (the 3 of you) for i have been truly busy for this next weekend.  The annual Girdwood forest fair is alive and well this year and this is my first time having a booth there.  Unless you count last year where i got a booth, but then it got canceled.  so really this is my second booth, first time selling. anyways, needless to say i won't be blogging much till after it's all said and done.  However I will update on what we've been up too:  I (mel) took the kids out to Sterling AK this weekend where the Darlings had rented 2 very nice cabins.  We enjoyed a night of food and relaxing by the fire (well, however much you can relax with 9 extremly overly tired and sugered up kids at 11pm) and swimming at a lake the next day.  I have to saw i was very impressed by the lake!  While some of you know the lakes up are are glacier feed and EXTREMELY cold, this one was not and it was so warm!  the shallow area was great for little kids and they all had a blast.  we had 2 rafts and 1 canoe.  VIncent refused to get in any till mom did and then he loved it.  we floated in a raft or played in the water the entire 3 hours we were there.  it was up at the Captian Cook State park if you know the area.  (alittle before Homer).  anyways, i also had a sale at bella boutique a week ago on the 20 for summer soltace.  it was okay till we almost blew away, which kind of blew, hee hee get it?  sorry.  oh and one more thing i wanted to mention which i thought was funny.  About a week ago i received my 10 highschool reunion flyer.  And when i say flyer i mean flyer.  81/2 x 11 sheet folded into 3rds, taped and a stamp slapped on the back.  When you open it up there was a obviously dowloaded, pixelated logo of the "south sevier high rams"  and the rest said, and I quote"  you are invited to the class of 1999 10 year reunion....date.....place....cost and rsvp.    It was all in the same font and the entire text covered about 1/4 of the page.  I don't know about you but i thought these things were supposed to be alittle fancier than that?  Like say a whole weekend at a nice place rented out and catered.  No, it's a a park for a few hours and catered by probably some local family.  I mean, yeah, i have to give credit to those putting it together, i don't mean to be mean or bash their efforts, i just had to laugh when i saw the invites, brought me back to small town utah.  gotta love it.
