MAY NEWS SO FAR, COOL AND WINDY


Morning!  It’s been awhile again!  It's been hectic as usual..

We’ve had a gray, cool week.  Yesterday, the sun came out for a little while and warmed our souls and bodies.  Right now it is 20° and appears to be sunless again. 

I kept getting up and looking for that super moon that was supposed to be out last weekend.  I never could see a thing.  Maybe it was too low on the horizon for us?  I did go across the road with my friend Sara real early in the morning to look for bird pictures.  It was colder than I thought but lovely anyway.  We saw the sun come up over the Mts, and we did see some birds. 

The yearly Williams wood stacking was a success. I think the kids et all, stacked 2 semi loads of wood. Now that is a serious amount of wood!


A group from the farm went to Whitestone graduation, I think Mark Coy put out a bunch of pictures in case any of you are interested.  I think you can see them here:

Last Wednesday, another group went  over to the Whitestone Band performance.  I have to say it was well worth attending.  It was not only the students who performed but some legendary (like the use of that word?) musicians whom we all know but don’t often get to hear – Tina Miller, Tommy Miller, Becky Riche, John Hasz, Amanda Brown, and many more.  I have pictures which I haven’t posted (I had a limited view), but Jeremy posted a clip of it.  Eric Eads got a standing ovation for a piece he did on the cello.  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150794112519755.407575.595119754&type=1

This coming Sunday, we are having a farm clean up day so no church for all of you who attend.  You can still come a use a rake and get some fellowship on the side.  J  Yes, we do realize that is Mother’s Day, but what better way to honor the mom’s than to help us clean!  I love it!

The count down has begun – one week till the graduates are out of school, two weeks till graduation, four weeks till youth camp! Many preparations still have to be put into place.

Last week sometime we heard that Bethany Buongiorne and a friend were out walking with the baby girls.  Two St. Bernards appeared and attacked them.  The ladies were able to protect the little girls but Bethany’s friend was mauled pretty good.  A guy across the street came over and helped the ladies out and called Animal Patrol, otherwise… who knows what would’ve happened. Thank God for his guardian angels who come in various forms.

The twins are getting so big! Starting to walk and chortle. The little family is doing well. Pat is working with the fire crew - there is a big fire season forecasted for this summer - pray everybody stays safe! Ironic to think that we do want to fires for the $$ they provide which is much needed, but at the same time we do not want the destruction and danger they bring with them.

Allyson Squires graduates today from the online schooling she has been doing all winter. I believe she is getting a degree in Emergency Care Nursing. I heard that she will be wearing a cap and gown in Tok.  Hope someone gets a picture!

I think that Miss JoAn has gone away on a trip – maybe her yearly Wasilla/Texas trip.  Somehow I’ve missed that announcement, and I miss her.


Patrick recently spent a grey, wet week in Cordova tuning pianos.  He is home now. Rob was very helpful with the water and wood hauling. He is getting to be quite strong and he likes to remind me while flexing his muscles! funny guy... :)

Olivia has completed her nursing care classes.  She will be going to Fairbanks for an internship.  I don’t know how long she will be gone.

Well, I should get ready for the day ahead.  Have a great weekend!
