What a big cow

On the way to work last week Phillip and I encountered a very large cow moose on the road. Phillip was able to drop me at my work, go to the cookhouse at Peter Pan, pick up a guy there, and drive back out of town to get pictures of the moose. Of course, Phillip wasn't sure how to use the camera so the pictures didn't turn out as well as they do for me. Or it could have been because the moose was a little ways a way.

Yesterday I spent the day stripping nets and painting the stern of the Sunriser. Pictures will follow.

My plants are all starting to grow at the house. Flowers, lettuce, and herbs (I have to replant the cilantro and chives- I killed them before they began). I am excited about my little garden I am starting. Only five days left to this school year. I can't wait to be done!

Update- I am having trouble keeping up!

Where does the time go? As I near the end of the school year and start looking forward to the summer I get busier and time flies. Time’s fun when you’re having flies.

I survived the Sock Hop that the Dillingham Education Association hosted on April 29th. As president of the association I had a lot of leg work to do to get it to all come together. Luckily, I had some great help and it went off without too many hitches. We made some money and are offering four $500 scholarships to our graduating seniors.

The next weekend I spent holding my sofa down as it was my first Saturday free in over a month. Phillip was also busy working at the cannery so I had the house to myself. I thought I would be a lot more productive, but in fact the time flew by. I must have had fun. Phillip is working six days a week now, ten hour days, getting the cannery ready to process fish. Eventually he will be up there catching sleep between processing runs and he won’t come home. Poor me! I am hoping my kid sister will come visit me then to keep me company. We shall see.

Phillip’s mom came to town last week to start getting ready for fishing. We met her new beau for the first time and so far he seems like a nice guy. We are so ready for summer. I wish it would stop snowing.

Playing with Snow

After the pile of snow that came down we couldn't resist doing a little playing in the snow. Phillip built a giant snowman, our neighbor built her own Nessie in her yard, and then came the fish. I am so proud. OK, I was just bored. And I should admit that Phillip helped with it.

It gets warmer out every day. It won't be long before the river goes out and the mud, mud, mud will be here.

A Quiet Easter

Easter seemed to come and go quietly. I boiled a ton of eggs in the hopes of coloring them. Alas, I had to work on curriculum at the school. Thank goodness Desiree and Phillip took over and colored the eggs for me.

It snowed all day Easter Sunday so other than church Phillip and I didn't go anywhere. It continued to snow into the night and the next morning. School had a delayed start and the car was so buried you could hardly see it. So much for April showers. Here we have May meltdown and June flowers.
