NOVEMBER....already????

Yesterday morning was a chilly 0°.  I happily donned my fleece lined skinny pants under my other clothes.  This morning, it is not so brisk.  It is 15°.  Because our smattering of snow is sticking to the ground so far, we look a little messy around here – not enough snow for beauty; too much brown for beauty; everything’s barren and frozen. 

Amy Wheeler, from Whitestone Farms, is looking for a ride from Delta to Whitehorse if anyone is going that direction or knows of anyone going that direction.  You can contact Amy atajwheeler88@yahoo.com.  Thank you.

Tommy and the guys separated the calves from their mommas.  Oh my.  You should hear them cry.  It is annoying and sad all at the same time.  Yesterday was simply terrible, but they’re already adjusting!

We had an excellent service on Sunday (to me it was most refreshing).  Thomas led worship; Sis Margaret and Bro Garth both followed with a word on the unprofitable/profitable servant. 

With the winds of last week, the fire at Whitestone kicked up again.  They actually had firefighters out there.  I think with this increased cold weather and lack of wind that the fire is fine again.  I think the fire just goes under the muskeg and sits waiting for a wind to kick up and fan it.

Kimberli and Skylar have flown to Arizona to be with Joel and Deena and their new baby for a few weeks.  I’m envious of her time in the sun!

Ben did a show in Anchorage last weekend.  He did not do as well as he would’ve liked, but he did okay.  For his first time in an area, he actually did really well.  Only some of the vendors knew him so he was setting up all new clientele.  Once home, Ben flew back to Vancouver to be with his parents.  His mother keeps pulling out her NG tube so the doctors and Ben’s dad, Hal, have opted to leave the tube out. 

Seth slaughtered all his pigs last week.  Today, he and Seth Fouse will begin the butchering process.  I’m so excited about pork meat.

Stephen Casey wrote last night to say that he and his wife, Melissa, are expecting in June.  Another Casey grandchild!  Whatever will those Casey grandparents do?

Oh….I said that Hannah Davis and her baby were home; only Hannah is at home.  Little Grace is still in the hospital until she can eat a certain amount each day and be at a certain weight.  Everything is going well so far.

Pat B has gone to his yearly trip to Copper River and Glenallen. He won't be staying at SAPA since the closure so has probably found new lodgings while he is there. The roads are icy and hazardous. Everybody needs to get into their winter driving mentality.



Tommy Geyer MC'd a very good Hunters Breakfast. Hunting yarns and tall tales abounded. Kathryn, May, Kerri, Emmy, and others made a scrumptious breakfast spread. Paul & Maria T, brought a ton of donuts. Prizes were given out. I think that Tim Kohler won the Antler Derby at 58inches and Seth F was runner up...not sure of all the measurements though... :). There was a good turn-out, with hunters and would-be hunters crawling out of the woodwork to enjoy good food and fellowship.




We’re thanking God that Bro George’s yesterday fever has gone; also that Christine only has two more treatments of chemo; and that Bro Rus will bring sis Millie home tomorrow

Have a great week!
