We miss David and Ellen’s updates! We found you by looking through blogs… we live vicariously through you! Want to do the big Alaska adventure. Didn’t get the job I interviewed for, though, in Anchorage. We’ll have to settle for PA for now. All the best, -Judy and Bunsen

Hi David and Ellen,
we’ve been thinking of you both for ages, and enjoyed the postings on the web page. Congradulatios to David on the job, and good luck to Ellen on the university position.

And you can KEEP YOUR GOVENOR in Alaska now, thank you very much!!!
Have missed all the lively discussion we could have had about this years remarkable election. What a relief, and a chance for us to be happy to say we’er American whentraveling overseas……

We’er well here, although David’s business is begining to feel the slow down, so we are staying put for awhile (no trips planned)

I’ve had three exhibits in the last few months, which is somehow how it works….lots of shows, then nothing for a while. Otherwise, still teaching and making books.

Love the pictures of the Alaskan country side. It looks so wonderful. You new pooch is aborable!

We were in Rochester for Thanksgiving, and will be here for Christmas with David’s mom and sister and her husband, and his parents who are coming over from England.
We have NO plans for new years eve howerver…….we will sleep through mid-night without you guys this year.

We’ll call sometime soon to catch up “in person”. Think of you often

love Claire and David

Just checking in for updates. I’ve loved this blog for a while. Hope you’re both doing well.

Any chance you keep a flickr account or other photo stream? I’m captivated by the pics and looking for more.

I hope I’m lucky enough to make the journey you two did.

I’m glad to see you are settling in! The bit about “too many layers” is my life story – living in Michigan during the first oil crisis in the early 70s meant wearing a coat to bed and often so many layers during the day that my elbows didn’t bend very well. Not sorry to be in slightly warmer climate (although I do miss the Mid-Western people and sensible pace of life).

Good news about David’s job, and good luck to you, Ellen, on the University post you’d like. I hope that the economy is not as sluggish and unpredictable as it is down here in the Lower 48 (or more specifically, PA) because it is a bit scary. At least the Obama signs outnumber the McCain signs by a comfortable margin, so life is not entirely miserable. Besides we are nearing the end of a gorgous Indian Summer, full of golds and reds and the curling morning mist rising from piles of fallen leaves. You’re probably already in early winter, judging by the snow stories (and knowing that even in Michigan the snow often started flying mid-October).

Keep warm, and best wishes,
Wendy
