Slacker Mentality

Here I am sitting & knitting and staying quiet & peaceful.

I have been asked to sit with a couple older people that were dying. It is a great service to keep them company and relieve the family for a little break. I'm thankful for the opportunity to serve and get over my own sad past.

Paul has been serving visitors by taking them fishing. Now the boat is "broken" but it's only a temporary set-back. I think it's the alternator or batteries. He has an appointment with a Russian man that will help him troubleshoot the issue.

Not a very exciting blog post but that's the way it's been going this last month or so. We are planning a trip to Anchorage this month (August) to drive Gloria (a friend here in Homer) up for a surgery and shop at Costco. Maybe life will get more exciting between now and then, lol.

Well, I finally made it but now I have to find a box to fit so I can mail it.

Tucson helps Paul nap, lol.


Paul has been taking friends out fishing 6 of the last 8 days and he's VERY tired. Tucson is helping him take a nap!

2 Dodecahedrons for my Grandchildren

I'm sorry this picture is so small but that's the best I could do with the cell picture Kelsey put on facebook. That's what I get for forgetting to get pictures before mailing the gift.

I'm not sure how you pronounce it but it is a 12 point ball/toy. It has a small bell inside for a soft jingle sound.

Kelsey had demanded one for her 4 month old baby boy since he likes these so much.

Our Trusted Friends from Washington

This is Patty Custer from Vashon Island, Washington.
This is her first Halibut fishing trip and she caught a 40 pound fish.
She called her family at midnight to brag (it isn't dark in Alaska so she didn't think about the time) but her sister wasn't impressed.











This is Bob and Patty Custer at the head of the Chilkoot Trail near Skagway, Alaska. Her grandfather hiked the trail twice during the goldrush years.


We are so thankful to our friends for driving our truck and camper home for us. When they left us, they took a cruise ship back home to enjoy the other half of the Alaska experience.
