Tougher in Alaska?






Okay...so we will admit that Alaska isn't for wimps, but if you are up for a challenge...... cutting wood in -45 to keep your house warm and pipes from freezing and exploding....gussying yourself up into several layers before taking a single step out the front door (adding several pounds by the way, women)eyelashes freezing together...I could go on with things we face everyday that are different than Florida, but so rewarding...when you can let you children run around knowing the only danger to them is the wildlife (which my loud kids keep frightened away). When your neighbors own several huskies , so worth it, a large moose eating off trees right outside our front window (kids safe inside and quiet)..worth it...watching the planes taxi down our road...WORTH IT! so if anyone is up for the challenge, were up for the company!!
