Family and Friends Week


This last week has been busy with family and friends. Star arrived one week ago since then they have been fishing most everyday with Mike and friends Mike and Linda Walsh. The silvers are running so early morning fishing was in the works. This way they could get a couple or hours in before getting to work on the house.

My mom and Ivy arrived this week as well. They drove Mike's new truck from Iowa to Alaska. I know they are amazed at how there is "not much in Trapper Creek" to do or to shop for. While they were here- they took a day trip through Denali Park. We also took a trip to the Matanuska Glacier. We walked on the ice, looked into crevasses and were in amazement at the volume of the glacier. And to think it has been reduced in size over the last 25 years....I cannot imagine seeing this in its heyday.

The house work has slowed down a bit- the plumber is still working on the bathrooms and kitchen. The heating system will be going in next week. Then the insulation gets sprayed on and finally (if we find one)- the sheetrockers will be in to finish the walls.



We are so close to being in the house...just a few more weeks.
