Good morning folks,
The rain did let up towards the end of this week. In fact, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have been mostly nice, although a little windy. Today looks gorgeous – blue sky, sunshine, and 45*. During the last couple of weeks, there has been a subtle but definite change in the weather. We have definitely gone into the fall season with a cold bite in the air and yellow leaves sporadically appearing here and there. All the domestic flowers are looking very sad, having never recovered from the severe winds followed by excessive rainfall.
Marilyn is still home and doing okay. Allyson has gone to the states to meet up with her brother to take care of their recently deceased sister’s estate.
Jon, Peter, and Joey all graduated this week from various programs having to do with the paramedic schooling they’ve been attending. I guess Jon and Peter graduated from their year long paramedic class complete with hands on training that they fulfilled while in the states this late spring. Joey graduated from Hazmat and structural fire school training. He will start Paramedic school this coming with week. My niece, Kelsey will be taking some of the same classes.
Hannah’s baby, Owen, is 7 lbs but is still in ICU until those Brady episodes stop happening.
Brad went to Ketchikan this week after the loggers came home from building the cabin kit in Fairbanks. Here’s a quote from Tom on what Brad is doing in Ketchikan.
“Brad is a member of the governor’s timber task force at this time. He’s presently in Ketchikan for a face to face meeting with the governor’s other state appointees. Brad has to be involved with two face to face meetings with these folks within the next six months. They’re making policy recommendations for timber harvesting and job creation to submit to the governor. Brad is ‘hanging out’ with many big name guys. Meanwhile….”
Thomas and his humble sawmill buddies (Rich & Tommy) are holding down the sawmill at home. Seems like finally LAM (Logging & Milling Associates) is starting to hang out with the big guys. …WTG…and to think it started out with 4 highschool chums so many years ago.
Last weekend some of our guys were involved in a softball tournament in Delta. They won one game and lost one game. This weekend, Seth Fouse, Seth Jepsen, and Kevin Jepsen were involved in a soccer tournament in which they placed second. These guys played on the Delta “Red” team. They played against Whitestone, Fr. Greely, and a couple other teams. Whitestone’s team placed first in the tournament.
Tony took his boys (Chris and Cody) and Jon Leo and Nicholas into the mountains on Thursday for some caribou hunting. Chris was the only one to shoot a caribou. Tommy took his girls (including Meg) to Fish Lake to look around for caribou. I haven’t heard if they shot anything or not.

Annie got back from her time at the Fairbanks fair. She went with Sandy, our local beader, to help with her booth and try and sell some of her own beading and dreamcatcher items she has been making. Annie came back with a Rex rabbit which looks like the velveteen rabbit!
