Lynxton bounces energetically about in front of his mom, who could use a charge of that energy; so could I

I thought I would be picking up Margie, Kalib and Jobe and taking them back to Wasilla with me. As it turns out, I'm not taking Jobe but Lynxton. And here is Lynx bouncing about in front of his mom.*

*I wrote these words over an hour ago in Anchorage, when I made the Instagram. For reasons well-known to recent readers, I did not even bother to try to post until just now, after I had reached home. So... Kalib and Lynx will spend the night with us. Tomorrow, Jacob will take Jobe to day care and Lavina will go to Kodiak for work.

In the evening, Jacob and Jobe will join us for the night and, if I understand correctly, Lavina's brother will be at their house to care for Muzzy the dog and Marty the cat. Lavina will come out Saturday and then they will all go home.

In the meantime, we will probably have a bunch of fun around here.

I doubt I will blog much of it. It is just too hard to do so right now.

But I will blog some of it!

And it will be fun!

A train might appear in it.

Maybe even a plane.

Mother and son - the image I forgot to post yesterday

I shot this yesterday evening and made an Instagram of it, then, somehow, completely forgot to post it - maybe because I got preoccupied with moose, toy planes and trains. There is still little electricity in my brain and I am almost absent of energy. So, rather than looking for something new to photograph, I now post this image I forgot to post yesterday: Daughter-in-law and Grandson, Mother and Son; Lavina and Lynxton.

Something mysterious and unknown up in the bare branches

When I came home from photographing the live moose and then the dead moose, I found a copper moose standing on my front porch along with three boys who poured out the door to greet me. I had not seen them since the beginning of the week, but their mom had brought Margie home from babysitting and they had come along."What's that?" Kalib shouted, pointing up into the branches. I looked up, half expecting to see the same eagle I had seen down at the river but all I saw was bare tree branches. 

Note: As I took this picture at home near my computer, I bypassed the Squarespace app due to all the problems, headaches, delays and wasted time Squarespace has been inflicting upon me. It should be noted, however, that doing it this way takes considerable more time than it takes with the app - when the app actually works.

A worrisome matter?

Thus far today, the boys have been very well behaved. This worries me just a little bit.

Jobe's grandma looms large in his eye

Then he turned his grandma's magnifying glass on his grandma. He liked what he saw. I remember when I first saw her - I liked what I saw, too. That's why Jobe and his brothers are here tonight. That's it for this day.
