If there's anything more Alaskan than Sarah Palin--it's picking blueberries. This Saturday we went blueberry picking around the back side of Flat top (the mountain that we often hike just outside of town). We picked around 2 1/2 cups until it got too rainy and cold. Our hands started to go numb. But, we got enough to make a delicous blueberry and peach crisp, which we ate when Kari and Jared came over for dinner. It was fun--despite the fact that it took 2 hours to cook my stupid chicken. Who would have known?
Today we went out and helped with the Obama campaign by registering people to vote--after reading a number of news articles about Palin, and then promptly making another donation to Obama's campaign. That woman scares me. Since when did it become "god's will" to build an oil and gas pipeline? Her pastor said that anyone who voted for John Kerry is "going to hell" in a sermon that she and her family attended, but apparently Jeremiah Wright is the one we should fear.
News on the Alaskan Obama campaign is that dear Barack has given up on us Palin freaks and is planning to quickly relocate all the staff who were stationed here. We're still keeping the 6 offices that are around the state, but only volunteers and the staff members who were from the state are going to stay on. I think we had hope of winning here before Palin came into the lime light, but now there doesn't seem to be much hope.

it's just like Blueberries for Sal!! So sad about obama's staff moving out, but i guess now they can be re-directed to more competitive states. I can't believe how horrible SP is. Poor you having to live in her state and too bad we have to go to hell for voting Kerry in 04.
MMMMM I wish I could have tasted your little treat. Hope you two have a nice 2nd anniversary. It comes around rather fast. mom
Sarah Palin makes me ill. How awful that my beautiful name is wasted on scum like her.
