Ha! I did it! I did it!

Hi, everyone.

 

It took a while, but I have officially accomplished a miracle!

 

That's right.... MY E-MAIL INBOX IS EMPTY!! BWAHAHAHA!

 

I'm sorry it took me a while to get caught up and active on the boards again. I came home from our vacation to find a very full mailbox, so I've been working away at it ever since (wimpering every time another "you've got mail" chime sounded.) Since coming home, I have read and replied to exactly 196 emails... and about a dozen or so PM's as well, though I still have at least another dozen PM's to answer. I promise I'll try to finish answering those as quickly as I can, and then I'll get started catching up on the discussion threads I missed during my absence. Thank you again to the folks who kept an eye on things while I was gone. It was really nice to know that the forum was in good hands while I was internet free!

 

And now... the pictures! (Well, a few of them, anyway. I took over 300!)

 

The beautiful state of Oregon:

 

 

 

Star Wars geeks atop the Space Needle. Seattle, Washington:

 

 

 

A pastel sunset near Victoria, BC:

 

 

 

Another beautiful state... Alaska:

 

 

 

The Mendenhall Glacier:

 

 

 

 

Aww.... crud. I just heard the "you've got mail" chime. The miracle is over, folks! Move along, move along...

 

 

Whales! I loved seeing whales day after day!

 

 

 

 

Scott living his dream on a zipline.

 

 

 

The beach near where we set off for a drizzly morning of kayaking. I suspect it's a good thing that we didn't spot any orcas until the following day. If we'd spotted them before this, I think Scott and I both would have had some issues with kayaking out into deep water!

 

 

 

This picture was taken after 11:30 at night. It was fascinating to see how the twilight lasted so long... it never really got dark at night!

 

 

 

*chime* GAHH! More mail!? No fair...

That area of the country will always continue to look beautiful. I actually have a relative that lives across the Bay up there, can't remember where exactly or what the relation is but the last time I visited there was back when I was about 12 years old, have'nt been back since but I sure do miss it. It's a lot more peaceful there than it is here in Arkansas.
