Y...That is made out of fabric??? It is beautiful. <br /><br />Yes, I always seem to travel unprepared. After 44 years you just don't think much of jumping in the truck at -40* F and running to the store. I'd be in a world of hurt if I ever broke down. Heck, I don't even own snow pants!! :) Our weather is horrid. It is more like Sept. than July. So cold and rainy when this should be our hottest month. It has me worried about what the winter might bring. Caring for animals in the cold is a lot of hard work and stressful. (The chickens have a furnace, but it could go out in the night). Such a lousy summer this has been.... <br /><br />I'm like you... I know so little about the world I live in. I'm going to have to follow you lead (but don't believe everything you read... the person who wrote that probably hasn't even been here! LOL).Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121205250839003802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450572385521130262.post-76800674155287082542012-07-16T20:09:59.313+12:002012-07-16T20:09:59.313+12:00:-) Yes I thoug what 24 m???

Hope I did not offend anyone with the measly 2.47 metres.Even a spell check would not find that as an error.

I used to fly regularly for work to a northern town and I was often one of the few on the plane who even had proper winter clothing on. But it is true, if one was stranded, one might survive a winter gale with the proper equipment.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104565945520530658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450572385521130262.post-78066705002922917012012-07-16T01:35:17.048+12:002012-07-16T01:35:17.048+12:00Very interesting about traveling in Alaska.

Been helping a friend make a Christmas wall hanging. <br />Interesting stuff about Alaska. Some of our friends have recently been there. They loved it.<br />Cheers<br />LindaRazzle Dazzle Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900423438793574638noreply@blogger.com
