The town had several names, but in 1908 when work was being done on the dams in the area, they changed the name to Concrete - because the Superior Portland Cement Company had built their plant there - to supply concrete for the dams.<br /><br />Today it is a tiny town, with a scanty business district. This fabulous sign points to many businesses, but when we went looking for them, found most had closed. I asked one resident where we could get a sandwich in town and he said that we would have to go to the next town, back down the way we had come to Concrete.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">Well it it time for thinking of Christmas gifts - so we have a few hints as to a lovely gift you might buy for those friends, neighbors and loved ones on your list. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"> Someone hard to buy for?</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"> SHE has written a book - it is a true story.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">SHE was just a little girl of 6 when her family moved from California to Alaska - and wrote the true story of things that happened to her in Alaska in 1950. My that was a long time ago. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">There were bears in Alaska and SHE wrote about how scary they are - now isn't that silly? We bears aren't scary, are we? SHE also wrote about dolls, and squirrels and big dead whales - and boats and fishing and a few scary adventures too. But hold your favorite <strike>bear</strike> <strike>frog</strike> <strike>doll</strike>, now stop that - I'm talking - your favorite bear while you read the book and you'll not get frightened at all.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">Here's a shopping list of <strike>people</strike> bears <strike>frogs</strike> <strike>dolls</strike> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">to buy this fabulous true story for - it is family friendly and kids love it too.</span></span><br />

It is the featured on a wonderful post about books. We'll let HER tell it in HER own words (we think she is a good writer, look at the fine things SHE writes about us)</span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #990000;">We are proud of HER - please have a look and then order your own copy of HER book. SHE is very happy when she sells books - and she might give us some ice cream if she is happy (we love ice cream), so help us out here, would ya? Thanks!</span></i></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">This is a different kind of post - but one that I'm very proud of - my book, <i>Are We Walking to Alaska?</i>, has been featured on</span></span><span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><a href="http://cabingoddess.com/2013/10/walking-alaska-special-fourthwallfriday/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Fourth Wall Friday</span></a></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"> - at Cabin Goddess, a wonderful site that features authors and their books. My book is a bit different than the ones regularly featured on the site. Kriss did a fabulous job in the feature story.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #38761d;">That is me on the left in the photo. This picture was taken on my mom's birthday. My little brother has a cast on his arm and a black eye - the story is in the book (no, I did not beat him up)</span></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">I'd be honored if you would visit and see the post about my book. I'm very proud of my book - the story of our family moving to Alaska in the 1950s, before Alaska was a state. My adventures were exciting to a young girl and I'd love to share them with you. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">You can purchase my book from a link on Kriss's page - or by clicking the tab just under my header above, or from Amazon.com, just by searching the name of the book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Are-We-Walking-Alaska-ebook/dp/B006CBG6K4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381513298&sr=8-1&keywords=are+we+walking+to+alaska" target="_blank">"Are We Walking To Alaska?"</a>, in print or kindle.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"> It is a book that the whole family can enjoy - I hope you will find it intriguing and as interesting to read as I found it to be when I was writing it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;">SHE likes to make quilts - SHE has lots of them - but none are the right size for my delicate self, so guess I'll get out that little sewing machine and make one - no help needed from Bears or Frogs - I can handle this one myself. Except that I'm not allowed scissors - I might cut myself up.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;">SHE has lots of tiny pieces cut up for Wonky Stars - wonder if SHE will mind if I use them? SHE's very generous - and SHE does have a lot. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">While on vacation in July, THEY rented a cabin at Fidalgo Bay Resort, and then THEY traipsed all over the countryside. We could barely keep up - but we tried. There was so much food to be eaten, and so many ice cream cones to </span></span><strike><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">snitch</span></span></strike><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"> buy</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"> from the store across the street - but we tried. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">The third day THEY went back to Washington Park, just on the outskirts of Anacortes. It is a city park and full of trees and picnic areas and wonderful things to see.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #009900;">Now - to introduce Mrs. BrownDirt to all the fans of Buddy E and Grampa Bear (you are pronouncing it Graaaaahhhmpa - like the doctor says - say ahhhhh, aren't you? It is his preferred pronounciation)</span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #009900;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #009900;">First - let me introduce you to a good friend - a blogging friend - at</span></span></span><a href="http://www.browndirtcottage.com/"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #009900;"> </span></span></span></a><a href="http://www.browndirtcottage.com/"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #000099;">Brown Dirt Cottage</span></span></span></a><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #009900;">. She and I have so many things in common, even though she lives in Texas (and I grew up in the BIG state of Alaska). We both love iced tea, hate making ice cubes, we love quilting, collecting old dishes and vintage linens. We both have owned an antique shop at one time and we like to refinish furniture. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #009900;">A while back, a friend of hers did this fabulous post - about </span></span></span><a href="http://www.joetulipsquilts.blogspot.com/2012/06/mrs-browndirt-goes-camping-and.html"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #000099;">Mrs. BrownDirt</span></span></span></a><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #009900;">, and going camping. I thought it was so cute - so I just had to have a Mrs. BrownDirt doll too. It is not as good as a visit from the real Mrs. BrownDirt - but it is sure fun.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="color: #009900;">After Mrs. BrownDirt went camping, I thought it might be nice for her to go to a lodge, which is more to my taste. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">This blog is all about their travels and adventures - sometimes alone - sometimes together - that's when the real trouble starts.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">I've done some posts about them on my other blogs - so I'll bring those posts over here so you can catch up on their <strike>shenanigans</strike> activities. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hope you enjoy - let's start of with an introduction to Grampa Bear (he prefers the the pronunciation "Grahhhhmpa", thankyewverymuch) and his <strike>accomplice</strike> pal, Buddy E.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">These two characters go most places with us. Most times we can keep them out of mischief - but you just never know what they are going to do, at any moment. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">Buddy E is the frog - he has really long dancing legs, like Buddy Ebsen (remember Beverly Hillbillies?). Buddy E. loves to get into just about anything and always wants to join in, no matter what I'm doing. He cooks, cleans (well messes up while I clean), reads, sews, writes (on things he shouldn't write on) and eats.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">He is sometimes joined by a friend or two - and then we are really in trouble. Grampa is our traveling bear. He has gone to Wisconsin on the train, shopping at Oshkosh B'Gosh in Wisconsin, on boat rides, on picnics, to Canada and often stows away and I don't notice him until we are on our way, and it is too late to turn around and leave him at home. His favorite place to ride now is in Ben's carseat in the back of our car - he can see things better from that spot.</span></span></span><br />
