Ever since I saw the first episode of Deadliest Catch I thought to myself I wonder what it would be like to meet these guys. Or to sit down and talk to them I still think that but now I want to talk to the guys about Phil and the thing that would happen off camera... I miss Phil so much and wish I could have picked at his brain a little bit because I have so many questions not just as a fan of the show. I…

I think Miss Mary said it all.You are sadly missed and will always be LOVED. ALWAYS IN MY HEART

      After someone you admire and care about, someone who touched your life in a way only few people can, passes from this world, it really hurts.  People say "Don't worry, things will get better over time." or "That was two years ago, get over it; move on!" Well, it's now 2 years since Captain Phil left this world (way too soon) and the pain is still very much there.  Some may think "Wow, seems like only yesterday he was here" while others might say "Two years? That was eons ago!" To me it…

February 9, 2012 will mark two years that we have been without Captain Phil Harris.  In the universal scheme of things it’s a blink of an eye.    According to my heart’s time clock it’s been forever.   Phil left us with many wonderful and happy moments.   That is what I am choosing to smile and think about when I think of him.  To do anything else would be wrong.  I can just imagine Phil saying, “You dumbass, get on with…

Deadliest Catch may be wearing out their welcome in UnAlaska, they are so tired of a camera in your face every where you go, this is a line drawn in the sand or at the door, as the local community health center voted to prohibit the show from filming injured fishermen there. The show had a huge impact and started with a big bang full of very dangerous fishing. what will happen next is all up to the fan's an how the camera and owners deal with this. 

Just a new thing is…

Nome delivery with the help of three country's was a complete success Hooray for the Healy' and the Russian tanker Renda'. They are now in ice free sea's. .

The development of the candy cane took a few hundred years. Before the invention of the modern pacifier, parents used to give their babies unflavored white sugar sticks to suck on. During the 1670's a German choirmaster had the sugar sticks bent into a shepherd's staff and passed out to children attending the Christmas services. This holiday custom spread throughout Europe and fancy canes,…

There is one pain I often feel, which you'll never know. It is caused by the absence of you.

We thought of you with love today,

But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday,

And the days before that, too.

We think of you in silence.

We often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories,

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,

With which we'll never part.

God has you in His…
