MY HUNTERS ARE BAAACK...!

Hello Folks,

Picked up my gang from the highway at milepost 1361. Called Dot Lake because the lake is like a "dot" on the map...anyhoo...my weary hunters were waiting for me to turn up in the silver van...after 10 hours of trekking down from the mountain they looked like it! They made it safe and sound and they even got a moose, so I am GLAD AND THANKFUL....fortunately this time they were able to have the pack horses take their heavy packs up and down...so they travelled light.

Now Pat and May are taking it easy for a day or two. Easy to do in the lovely absolutely awesome, incredible fall weather...right now May is sitting on our porch (after doing her grammas' and others, water hauling) just sitting and relaxing...nice to see her doing that...she's always on the go. Dad is inside messin' about putting things in order...he thinks I got into his stuff and moved things around... :)

This week is gonna be busy for us Buongiornes. Sunday, I cooked community supper for 11 tables (about 100 folks give or take) with my team...the Mongolian caju beef thing...great but lots of work when cooking for so many......I am getting too old for this...today am taking it easy myself...and Rob is loving that he has no schoolwork!!!

Busy 'cause tomorrow I'm taking my aged relative Flo to get her fingerprints (no she is not a criminal) she does some respite care for me and the Feds want her fingerprints, as if they don't hv them already since she is an AirForce vet...but go figure...must comply. That's Tuesday. Wednesday is Rob's 12th. birthday so have the cabin full of little male bodies (ages 8 to 14)...Thursday we go into big city of Fairbanks to get some therapy for Rob and to take Flo's car in for repair. Pat needs me to drive back so we are really taking 2 cars. The girls want to come too, for school shopping so we hv a full vehicle. Probably also shopping for monthly goods at Sams and Wally's...

Friday shld be quiet. haha, right...!

We are very busy with meat cutting as moose continue to come down from the mountain. Looks like a good year so far...5...I think was the last count. Still  a couple of weeks to go and plenty of time to get more...

May took some nice pics w/the hunting crew....

Now the only one missing is PatLou...having him back wld make it perfect...

OK, no more for now...will talk later
