We’re into our third day of very hot and humid weather. We were up and out of the cabin by 9:15 this morning. “Art in the Park” was taking place in Bemidji this weekend and we wanted to get there early so we could check things out and head out to our land for the […]

Another beautiful day at the cabin. We called and placed an order for one of the 8X8 foot sheds in Cass Lake. They will deliver it to our Debs property tomorrow and stay long enough to hep us get it in place and leveled. After many walks around on the property and much discussion we […]

Bill and Arlene arrived around 8:30 last night and Bill 3 and Erin joined us closer to midnight. After a quick game of Farkle, to teach Arlene, we all went to bed. But not before Bill had set out a short trapline for the mice that are once again getting out of hand. This morning […]

Today is Erin’s birthday! 26 years old! We hope she’s celebrating in a fun way. We began yesterday at the cabin biking with Zac, Bun, Wendy and Scott, and Kanga (theirnew heins 57 dog).

Jody and I hauled 14 bags of garbage down to Ojibway. Came back and spent a couple hours on the dock talking and catching some sunshine. The Walker […]

Kate and I headed out for a short kayak at Robe Lake. The weather couldn’t decide if it wanted to break out with sun or rain. Taking the kayaks off the truck.

Friday morning I headed out of Valdez and met up with an old Northway friend. Rita Abel. She parked her car in Glenallen and jumped in with me. We talked the whole way into Anchorage where we met up with another dear friend from Northway days, Chris Standley. Together the three of us went to […]

I can honestly say I’m beginning to get into the summer mode. The weather has been spectacular, until yesterday. Hot and sunny. Yesterday and today a little rain off and on which we really needed. It gave me an excuse to stay inside and sew. I’m almost done with a quick lap quilt for Bill’s […]
