In 2002, we fell in love with Alaska and purchased property near Fairbanks. Our Alaska log home was built in 2003 by Bill Kisken of Log Weavers here in Fairbanks. Bill is an artist, who uses the hand scribed Swedish cope system. Notice how tightly the logs fit at the ends, this is very diffucult to achieve. We retired in 2013, and moved our residence to Alaska.

Seven Quotes From Mark Twain

I picked up these quotes from the blog Dumb Little Man.  I find them very useful. Mark Twain really had good advice for life.

1."I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened."

2.“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

3.“When people do not respect us we are sharply offended; yet in his private heart no man much respects himself.”

4.“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”

5.“When angry, count to four. When very angry, swear.”

6.“Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first.”

7.“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.”
