Point Tompson Project

-
I Had meant to post this picture last night but with all my marathon napping yesterday I must have wore myself out.I layed down last night for just a sec and well here I am now!

This is a picture of what my wonderful hubby has been doing for the past few months. This is Exons Point tompson Project. All those black tanks in the front are owned by the outfit my wonderful hubby works for.He was resposible for getting them there. The base is made up of ALL rig mats that are hooked together to protect the land. The do not at any time walk on the actual tundra. Even the road to get to it is made by laying rig mats down. And yes it is built on real ice roads.

The ice roads have been melting at a pretty fast pace and wonderful hubby was pretty grumpy over the last month trying to get his tanks there.He made it though and WOW! I was very proud to see what he accomplised. So I thought I would share.

IF YOU are wondering if we sold the house this weekend it would be a no. The couple was not aware that we were not in the city limits..... Yup that was the whole problem. They wanted in the city! Evidently the fact that it states that right on the ad for our house must have slipped by them! I was very irritated that they wouldnt even give feedback on the house.Not negative or positive....I have learned a LOT about what NOT to be like when we are looking in ND for a home.

So besides all that I accomplished still quite a bit this weekend.I made quite a bit of useless crap. Lets see I made

3 dog collars
3 passport covers
1 tissue holder for Killian
1 registration and insurance holder
covered 3 diaper wipe containers
1 garbage container that hooks to the seat.
and finished up the kids travel bags.

Besides our family, I have close friends with 3 little ones that are moving to Tennessee. So I made tote bags and have been making and buying junk for those. I love DIY blogs with ideas.Ü.I will post pictures this week when I can remember where I stashed my camera again.

I did today. Then just as I was about to scream I found this. It has ALWAYS made me laugh.I had forgotten I had it though.So today it was just like a present.Ü Oldest daughter has been confined to the house with what her doctor tells us is a very contagious viral infection. Personally I think her doctor is smoking some funny stuff. Her blood tests were normal and she has been battling bad tonsils for a month.Hmmmm. I dont think it takes rocket science when that is ALL she went in there for but evidently it does. More tests have been ordered and she is confined until monday. Can you say lets drive mom crazy? Then I found out a king size ALL feathered quilt that I mailed to a friend as a belated (like 20 years late)wedding, anniversary,housewarming(twice),congratulations on your 4 kids, yeah dont hate me because I am a horrible friend quilt NEVER showed up in the mail! I cannot find (big shocker there huh)the tracking slip. I did have it at one time in my hot little hands. So I know it w

Ice Road Truckers and a 20

Year old girl.I hadnt told yall becuse I was living in a state of denial. Its my favorite state actually but that is another story. If you had asked me this weekend where my oldest daughter was I would of told you she was driving with the Ice Road truckers. She really was too. Oldest daughter was driving Pilot truck for an oversized load headed to Prudhoe bay. She drove the haul road. A road not many men will even drive. She said she prayed over many of the passes mainly the Attigun Pass but many of the others too. I had to laugh when she called me from Cold foot to tell me excitedly that she had met a couple of the Ice Road truckers as they are there filming. She was able to see a little of the filming too. On the web page for that t.v. show they make a statement that the road to prudhoe is driven by fearless tough men.Lol. They need to add And one 20 year old girl! I am really proud of her. I am such a powder puff and scared to try anything new. I dont know how I was blessed with her
