The poor fisherman arrived home at 4 am this morning. Rich said that he, Brad, and Tommy were sick before they ever got on their boat. It was raining sheets and the waves were around 8 feet high. They did fish, but they were only able to catch small fish. After cleaning and packaging the fish, it weighed approximately 55 pounds.
The cement truck was out here today to pour cement into the foundation forms for the new tack shed and for the area that will house the new bathrooms for the tabernacle.
Tony is out doing something with the dozer as I type, but I have no idea what he is doing.
Today has been a scorching day. Tomorrow is supposed to be hot as well. There are fire watch warnings for the Fairbanks
This week, a friend of Merlin’s showed up. He stayed about four or five days.
The Poseys from Citra farm have come to spend two weeks with Rus and Millie. This week, they’ve gone to Whitestone and Sapa. We have many contacts in common so it was nice to catch up with them. My sister Karenza lived at Citra for many years so that was a common contact for me, plus Karen Posey and I roomed together at the first Teacher's Workshop held at BM in 1980 so that goes way back for me! Karen is also my friends Jenn Hanna Cofer's aunt..Jennifer was with Pat and self at the Shepherd's School of Music in BC in 1984...
Thomas N and his twin sister Sarah Jepsen are planning on taking a van load of young people to the Headwaters youth camp in BC Canada, at the beginning of September. This year we have to get our passports or passport cards. Everyone has applied; now we are waiting for the mail! I did look up on crossing the border rules. It says that if a church is bringing a group of kids across the border that they just need two pieces of id.
Annie does not want to go, she did go last time and had a good time but this time she wants to make sure she is here for hunting...wants to go out with Pat for the first time ever...She cant' go anyways since there is no time to get her passport now...am gonna make sure we get it for next year though, always a good idea to have it.
May is gonna go it seems, although she is technically a graduate and not part of the school any more, but I guess somebody cancelled so she has a place now. She really liked it last time and now that she is older will be able to help out with the watching of all those younger kids.
May is also hoping to be back in time for hunting, as are all the rest of the kids who want to be here to join their respective hunting teams. Hummmm...it will be rather a squeeze but I think they plan to be here in time for that.
Also, May and Pat went to Tok and she was able to purchase a very nice Browning 7mm...so she is pretty happy with that! No she won't have to lug her Dad's shotgun around or borrow somebody else's gun.
Rob's riding lessons in Delta are going great. I go in every Thursday and will continue until our school starts in October. This woman operates a low budget - no frills - riding school for kids of all ages and skills. Has some pretty nice horses but keeps costs low by offering a simple but effective rustic environment.
Rob enjoyed himself and was treated with care and respect. Annie stayed to watch and the owner allowed her to ride too, so she was pretty happy about that. In the meantime I took Flo to the Base to shop and then came back and picked Rob and Annie up and had some lunch and took them to the library. We got back to the farm about 5pm. Rob was pretty tired and had a good night's sleep after his day!
Well, more another day...this is long enough. Have a great week!
