Hi Danielle,

Thank you for posting this. I had several relatives in WWII. Planning a trip to the cemetery where my father is this weekend. He was a WWII veteran. Not in D-Day, but he contributed to the effort. We usually leave a flag and a dry flower arrangement.

Summer has finally arrived here in the North...
Last week we had a few days that were fairly warm, mid 60's and even approaching 70 deg(f)
Nights were around 40 deg(f)

This week it has been raining and raining and raining and will be raining for several days
until the weekend when it will be sunny and warm.
This coming weekend on Saturday and Sunday the temperatures will be at and above 70 deg(f) and sunny.
The warmer temperatures and sunny skies will continue after the weekend through the following Friday.

The summer solstice is on June 20th which denotes the official start of the summer season....
... and, of course the the longest day and shortest night of the entire year.
  Sunset:  12:45am  (just after midnight)
  Sunrise:  2:59am
 
Land of the midnight sun.  The sun will just barely dip briefly below the horizon for about 2 hours...
it will never get dark, just dusk and twilight until sunrise.

HUGS, Danielle [Northern Star Girl]

I'm glad you have a nice weekend coming up, something to look forward to after all that rain. We've had an unusually warm end of spring here and I'm enjoying all of it.  High 90's in the valley and high 80's up here at home.  It is going to cool down to just below the seasonal normal after this weekend (mid to high 60s). 

I always look forward to the solstice, but it's kind of bitter sweet because it means the days start getting shorter.
Do I sound like a pessimist?     Sorry, LOL.

Enjoy your nice end of Spring weekend.

Paulie.

Well I hope summer hurries up here, we had a few hot days a while ago but its stuck in a cold blast. Temps around 15C to 18C and we nearly had a frost the other night, had to put a thermal blanket on top of my summer duvet. Rain again this afternoon, just hope it holds off till I get back from food shop.

I am on vacation and I thought I saw Danielle the other day but she must have been a look alike!

Dear Chrissy:
Are you traveling in Alaska??? 

I have seen quite a few women that kinda look like me ... blue eyes, blonde hair.... 
.... even here on the Forum there are one or two members with Avatars that by
first glance might qualify as a doppelganger.

HUGS, Danielle

Dear Friends, Readers and my Followers:
Here it is.... summer is half over already... where is the time going?
The days are long and fairly warm and the nights are still short here
in Alaska.

My CPA office has been super-busy ....  financial uncertainty makes my clients
quite nervous, so lots of client meetings, trading, buying and selling
securities and stocks.... and adjusting their investment strategies.

Tomorrow, Thursday, July 25th I am waking up very early to make the long drive
to Fairbanks for a doctor appointment... My tooth-fairy sweetie is taking the day off
from her dental hygienist work to travel with me for the day. 

After my morning appointment she and I are planning a bigger city shopping trip. 
We have quite a long list for groceries and other items that are difficult to find
here in my small town. 
On past trips like this my poor SUV get packed full to the brim for the trip back
home in the evening.

I will keep everyone updated when I have internet access during some of the day.

Have a wonderful day everyone....
HUGS, Danielle  [Northern Star Girl]

Sounds like fun! Be safe and shop til you drop.

Dear Lori:
Fun, except for the morning doctor appointment....
      .... I am allergic to needles.

I never liked needles but after all the injections and blood tests I am "fine". Nights are drawing in here now------------

Hi Danielle

When you get to Fairbanks let us know that both of you have arrived safely.

Remember take a photo else it did not happen!  Enjoy your shopping spree and I hope your appointment goes well.

Little secret about me but don't tell anyone else or else they may get scared.  I Love Needles. So I would take your place any day.  Yes I know, I'm weird!

Take care, be safe and above all have fun.

Love and Hugs for You and Tooth Fairy

I am now returning from my trip... I am on the road about an hour away from home.
My first stop will be dropping off my Tooth Fairy at her home long with her purchases.

My SUV is filled to the brim. 

After my doctor visit, we had a fun shopping trip,
and a nice lunch together at the Olive Garden in Fairbanks.

My doctor visit was good except for the needles that I am allergic to....

HUGS, Danielle [Northern Star Girl]

I am picturing the SUV filled to the brim... with your Tooth Fairy strapped to the roof. 
Glad the shopping made up for the needles. You'll probably be worn out by the time you get home. I would be.

@LoriDee
Arrived at Tooth Fairy's home to drop off her purchases. 

        My Brimming Full SUV ... no room for anything else. 

That is great! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Everyone

I'm sure Danielle you took your medicine like a little good girl that you are.  With Tooth Fairy holding you down no doubt.  No wonder she is such a sweetie.  Did you get a lollipop for being Miss Goody Two Shoes?

Revenge is so sweet!!!  You cracked me up on that one, Lori !!!  I wonder why Danielle is so scared? Mmm....

Good to see and hear, that you are both safe and sound.
