Fall Is Here

Where did not summer go? I cannot believe that fall is here and growing season now over..WOAH. This means that canning season is coning to a close. now I hope that I can have a little more time to read..SWEET.

Fall is one of my favorite season, due to the fact that Halloween is my holiday. I look for it every year. I have always has a spook factor about me though. I can sneak up on pretty much anyone and make their heart go though the roof.

What am I reading now it is called the Never List. Thus far, it is quite an interesting book. It sure does make one think and yet it doesn't matter how what precautions a person takes to stay out of dangerous situations.

Arctic Homestead: The True Story of One Family's Survival and Courage in the Alaskan Wilds by Norma Cobb

Arctic Homestead: The True Story of One Family's Survival and Courage in the Alaskan WildsArctic Homestead: The True Story of One Family's Survival and Courage in the Alaskan Wilds by Norma Cobb


The Cobbs remind me so much of my wife and I. Throughout the book it seemed like that they could not catch a break a day late and a dollar short.I just seems like we can never catch a break either. I call it German luck.

In the book, Norma Cobb was the last pioneer woman to take advantage of the homestead act in Alaska. The Cobb family is like any hard-working American family of the 70's, struggling to find their place, achieve their dreams and are willing to sacrifice and work hard to get to where they aspire to be.

I love it she does not sugarcoat anything just tells you the way that it is and how she feels. This book is quite the roller coaster of an adventure. I know that it is not for everyone.

The Cobbs are an instriation to me and my wife in that follw your dreams and SOMEDAY it can be true.
