Merry Christmas, It was a quiet day in Wrangell with myself, Lynda, Seth and Nathaniel. Didn't do much but enjoyed the leisure time and played with our presents. Weather was mild with snow on the hilltops but wet here in town. Marcus and PeanutButter have been playing together more now pretending to be arch enemies. Would have been nice to see all the rest of the family but a quiet day was enjoyed as well. Hope all your Christmas wishes came true and thanks to all you who sent cards and gifts. Ron

Here is my newest basket. I just finished it yesterday. It is my favorite design which I named "Bears in the Fishing Weir." This is because It uses the traditional designs of the bear tracks (outside triangular shapes), and of the fishing weir (inside dash strip). This will be the first one with this design that I am putting up for sale. The basket is about five inches tall, and four inches in diameter.

Southeast Alaska from the air in winter

Flew to Juneau today with Sunrise Aviation to pick up a patient from their hospital. The cloud cover was down to 500 feet so we got to fly closer to the ground and would have seen more if the clouds didn't block so much of the light. Not too bumpy so a pleasant trip overall with sightings of humpback whales on the return. Takes 1 hour up, about 45 minutes on the ground to run to the hospital and accompany the patient back to the airport in the ambulance. The weather was much better in Wrangell than Juneau as usual but that is relative as both places were wet and cloudy.

Another great concert with a great group of singers. It is a lot of fun getting together and practicing the pieces. The concert part is a little nerve wracking but a usual end point for all the practicing. Next is the Spring Concert.

I finally finished the Christmas lights for this year, and Ron put them up yesterday. I was going to do a couple of flowers, but decided that one was plenty. It ended up being nine feet wide, and eight feet tall.

Thanks Amanda for bringing me the lights from Anchorage.
