Seth's Birthday

Seth left yesterday, he is back up in Fairbanks. We miss him already!

I am working hard so I'll be ready to leave on Friday. (I even got our taxes done!) I am going up to Anchorage to see Amanda for a couple of days, then I am flying down to Thousand Palms to visit with my parents. (Marcus just got a haircut so he is ready to go.)

Below are some pictures taken on Seth's birthday. He is 20 now!


Seth gets the honor of lighting his candles.


Ron loves birthdays, or I should say he loves cake and ice cream.


Marcus can't understand why he doesn't get any.

Our New Year

We have been having snow, ever since Christmas. Marcus enjoys playing in it, then coming in to melt.

The town put on a fireworks display on New Years Eve, Ron and I watched it from our bedroom windows. They went off around 6:30pm so we were able to go to bed early. Seth had some of his friends over, and they were up all night playing games.

Cynthia's Needlework

Here is Seth's Computer Bag with the Cross Stitch that I sewed on for him. Cynthia made the cross stich for him for Christmas.

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.

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.
