Preparing for Thanksgiving

Due to inclement weather in Fairbanks all flights were canceled for 48 hours. Apparently the town has become an ice skating rink as temperatures drew near the freezing point in town. This caused the yearly Yukon Flats Volleyball Tournament to be postponed until further notice (we're crossing our fingers for next week). You wouldn't know it as Arctic Village was sprinkled with snow flurries all morning. The good news, we have another week to practice our sets, bumps, and spikes before going to whump up on Fort Yukon, Beaver, and Chalkyitsik.

This past weekend I made a quick stop by the village store to pick up a couple items. Its clear Thanksgiving is almost here. As I reached into the large chest freezer looking for our Sunday night pizza, I had to dig through stacks and stacks of Sara Lee pies. YUMMY!!!
