A week to go!



One of the things that's kept me off the radar the past few days (besides getting another TTR puzzle piece a day or so done) has been all the preparations for 3RR's 6th birthday, on the 12th of this month.  We're going to have a cyber-party here, with (hint, hint) gifts and a lot of good old 3RR fun to be had.  Everyone, of course, is invited- it will, I warn you in advance, though, be a No Lurkers day.  I hope to see most all the Regulars* show up at some time during the festivities.

To that end, I'll be emailing invitations to the first 100 3RR Regulars who are members in good standing here at SC4D.  These folks are

A lot of nics there bring a lump to my throat seeing them again- great folks!  A few have been here in the past several days.  Many, though, have not posted here or at SC4D in years.  I'm hoping with the invitations that a good number of early Regulars will show up.  If you are not on the list, though, don't worry.  You are just as invited, and are just as special.

I am doing my best to make it a day for all to remember.

* A 3RR Regular, of course, is anyone who has ever posted at least once in 3RR here or over at 3RR-ST.  See you at the party!

Great idea, I look forward to the 12th!

The DTRW is an unexpected bonus to this project.  I didn't see it coming but it looks very useful!  Love the three way switch a couple pages back as well!

Is this party going to be rated G(kid friendly) PG (no small kids should be around), PG-13(no non teens), or R?

We needs to know so we can BYOB the proper stuff   $%Grinno$%

girlfromverona

6 years! That is truly an amazing feat. &apls

Not sure if I'll be able to make the party, but I'll certainly try!

Back from preparing for tomorrow's trial.  I threw my camera in the back seat, and shot a few pics that are all taken within a five minute drive of where I live.



We've had a lot of snow here this year in South-Central Alaska.



In Anchorage, which is south of my hometown of Wasilla, they are about five inches/12.5 centimeters short of the all time record of 132.8 inches/337.3 centimeters set back in the winter of 1954-55.  There's about 30 inches/.75 meter in my front yard right now.  And it's supposed to snow again on Friday.



We live at the base of the Knik River and Matanuska River valleys.  Less than 10 miles/16 kilometers away, winter will linger into June.  The road across Hatcher Pass, a little further to the north, will not be cleared of snow until early to mid-July.



Snowy mountains surround us here like the walls of some colossal castle.





The peaks stand like silent sentinels.



Trees give little hint now of the foliage that will burst forth from bud to leaf over a few days in May.



Our few farms also sleep peacefully under winter's blanket.



And if the moon knows that spring is around the corner, it isn't telling.

* * *



Six days until the party!  We'll almost certainly be halfway along our journey from 900,000 to a million page views before midnight tonight.

Don't fret if you are one of the first 100 3RR Regulars* and haven't received your email yet.  I'm still working on them.

More party info coming up, but the biggest part is a surprise.  See you there!

* * *

Noah (noahclem)!  Happy birthday from 3RR!


David

* A 3RR Regular is anyone like our great friend Al (Gaston) who has commented on 3RR here at SC4D or over at 3RR-ST at least once.

I envy you David, actually getting snow when you are supposed to.

Beautiful pictures David. 1,000,000 views really is getting close now, and what an incredible feat that will be  &apls

Rayden

There was time I used to comment every single post of yours, sometimes more than once. But that doesn't mean I don't follow your thread all the time, and like now, and specially after posting that beautiful photos, I had to drop a few words. Of course I'll be here for the birthday bash and most likely I will comment again. :)

Wow, what a marvelous landscape! Sometimes I wish, that someday I could visit Alaska  :D
Thank you for visiting Kolbrów, and for being for last ten years!

A party eh? I'll be there David! And you mentioned a surprise. I love surprises. Really, we should be throwing you the party though. I wish we had some of that snow down here in Minnesota. I work at a country club with a golf course and we're talking about opening our driving range in a week.
