One thing about growing up in Alaska is the diversity. Men are men and women win the Iditarod. Nobody questions (or questioned much when I was growing up) that women could do anything a man could do. I remember being dumbfounded when my mother-in-law freaked out when I started changing her flat tire rather than calling AAA. Ladies in New Hampshire don't do that, apparently.Lela Markhamhttps://aurorawatcherak.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487646081332167031.post-34729320728958496232015-08-05T14:54:38.293-07:002015-08-05T14:54:38.293-07:00I loved reading your post Alexis!
