A short note by my friendly neighbor Sarah Jepsen who has no time for her own blog, so is happy for me to include it in Moosings since we are all in the same boat…sorta….kinda…haha
From Sarah:
In the last eighteen months, I’ve gotten up to my elbows in cheese making, and I love it. The problem is, I have too many things I love to do (and some I don’t love, bookkeeping) such as my photography and teaching and more. The ones who have suffered from my new love are you all, my faithful readers. I will try to improve, but, knowing me, I probably won’t improve much.
As mentioned in the title of this email, this morning is the hunters’ breakfast. The high school kids are cooking. There was a mad flurry of activity in the kitchen this morning. Soon enough there will be tall, raucous tales of shooting or almost shooting various wild game.
School is going well although off to a rocky start. An EMT class was held during the second week of school; most of the high school attended that. In part of the third and fourth weeks, the high school students left at ten am till noon to help Tony and his boys with the grain and hay harvest. Rob rode around with Chris on the tractor or with Kerri and Madge on the hay bailers…then he said it was too cold and he came home…lol
So many things have occurred since I last wrote that I don’t even know where to start.
Seth and Kevin killed four of our six pigs recently. We are all excited about pork meat! We are so spoiled as opposed to the days when we had very little meat per meal. We have ample amounts of moose and enough beef and now pork! The young boys helped Seth clean up the barns area this summer and build a new pig barn and fence. After we harvested all our garden vegetables, May allowed Seth to set up an electric fence in the garden where the pigs enjoyed themselves immensely. It gave me great please to see them cavorting about the garden and running up to greet me and anyone who passed by like we were their best friend!
Kelly went to visit her Arizona relatives recently; Kevin went too for a part of her visit. She’s home. Cody attended the Bowen’s Mill convention and saw some friends. When he arrived home, Chris Toby left shortly thereafter to visit his fiancé in Maine (Hope). Jim and Bonnie are somewhere outside of Alaska visiting friends for a couple of weeks. Kathy and Bill Casey went to WA, and later they will travel to NY to visit relatives. Judy and Steve are flying south on Monday to visit their GA daughters.
Robbie B has been working two days a week at IGA. Gri takes him in and hangs around Delta while he works. Be sure to say hello, all you Delta folks, if you see him.
Olivia Geyer has moved to Whitestone to attend college to get a degree in music. I have a report about Olivia’s time in Hoonah this fall which I will post sometime. :(
Pat has been gone to Valdez for the past week and is due back today from his piano tuning. Have a great Saturday and cross your fingers that I can tidy my house in good time!
Oh here’s some pigs of the friendly pigs and of a recent cheese tasting we had.
