We’ve had beautiful, hot weather here in Haines. I’m fairly sure the high temperature has been in the high 70’s. Today it is gray and sprinkling. I’m hoping that clears up since we’re supposed to go into the town of Hainestoday to walk around and see things.
Our first day here, we did help some with the chickens. They slaughtered and processed 400 chickens. Rich was the one who carried the chickens to their death. Chris and Rich’s father ferried the chickens from the slaughter site to the kitchen. The rest of us did varied jobs to help with the process.
The Buerges (Mike and Clara) were here upon our arrival. It was nice to see them. The kiddos remembered us and were esp pleased to play with Ella. Clara cut the oldest girl’s hair so she looks quite grown up. They had to leave on Monday even though they had planned on staying longer since work called Mike home.
Chris and Rebekah have gone out twice with Jack to do some fishing. They’ve enjoyed that a lot. Of course, I had to babysit Ella while they were gone which was quite the hardship. Rich actually helped with that some since yesterday, me, Uncle Roger, and my cousin Dick went on a raft ride down the nearby rivers. It was a calm (no white water) ride, but beautiful and fun esp since I’d never done such a thing before.
Pauline’s brother and sister in law, Roger and Alma, are here for part of our visit. We’ve been having a good time with them.
Jack sent some shrimp and halibut home to my mother in law so we feasted on that one night. Then last night we went over to Dianne and Walt Atkinsons and feasted on crab and more shrimp over there. Although, it certainly isn’t all about the food, the food has been stellar.
I’ve heard that at home, they have been busily putting up broccoli, peas, cabbage, tomatoes, and much more.

Cody and Bradie made a visit down to Hoonah to visit Kathryn. They had quite the trial getting there. I don’t know all the details but I heard that they were routed to Sitka since Juneau’s weather was so bad. They had to ferry from Sitka to Juneau then fly to Hoonah.
I guess there is a huge fire by Tok near Moon Lake. It’s not harming anything yet. http://www.inciweb.org/

I’m typing at the tabernacle. I better get back to the house and see what’s going on over there. Have a great Thursday everyone!
