It can't be August already! Where has the summer gone to? boohoo...well, it seems that Sarah Jepsen knows more about what is going on around here even when she is gone...so I'm just pasting her news...I've been gone too and just come back from a 4 day stint in Tok taking an Apple tech. class/workshop...so I really don't know what's been going. Have a great weekend! gri b
from Sara,
Hello all,We had a good trip to Haines today. It seemed that once we left home, the day turned gray for our trip; no matter, though, since we were in the van driving. Although it might’ve been prettier if we’d had sunlight. Now that we’re here, I’ll only have internet when I’m in the tabernacle so responses to you all might be spotty, if at all. J
I heard that tomorrow, the people here are butchering chickens so I’m sure we will participate in that. I also heard that Mike and Clara Buerge are here visiting right now so we will get to see them and their children. (remember they came to the farm for a couple of weeks this winter around convention time?)
You know, in my last email I said we’d only put up 96 bales of hay? Well, I misheard. It was 996 bales of hay. The next day was 600 bales. We baled for a couple more days without incident; now the square bales are done. We still have some round baling to do. I heard that we are baling Eagle Ridge’s hay and keeping their hay. That will be helpful to us since we might not get a second cutting of hay this year due to the late spring.
Also, the medicine that Hannah Davis was taking was never injurious to the baby, as I somehow thought; it was bothersome to Hannah by making her nauseous and unable to sleep. Since Hannah is barely past the 22 week mark, we still need to pray that her body continues not going into labor. Judy has written to say that they are really suffering in the sunshine and with watching Owen so much (NOT!).
Wenda is now home from her Anchorage trip. Her flower garden really went out of control while she was gone – trees started sprouting, flowers were dying, etc. Bonnie and Jim are back home. And, Gri is home from her Mac convention and is full of new and great ideas. The Geyer girls are home from their successful fishing trip.
We heard that the Hoonah fishing drew have gotten 73,000 lbs of fish this season. That sounds like an incredible amount to me!
It seems that my cousin David is very sick with cellulites. He thought he’d gotten food poisoning, but it seems that wasn’t the case. David was moved to a regular room from ICU just today! That’s six days after he first went to the hospital.
Some of our younger guys helped Whitestone fill their soccer teams in Delta this week since they needed help with their tournament teams – Seth J, Seth F, Kevin, Jarred, and ????
Seth, Ammy, and May have gone to Tangle Lakes with some friends from Whitestone for some camping and fishing. Kathy Casey is visiting her grandsons for the weekend.
We were having 80+° weather this week. None of us are complaining. It has been a stellar August so far. Because all the vegetables are ripening (almost too fast), we will have a busy couple of weeks before hunting to put away our winter supply of vegetables.
You all have a great Sunday. Talk to you later.
