July 3 2017 - Hello from Alaska!!

Hello from Alaska, it's Monday here on the holiday.  We celebrated Canada's 150th Birthday on Saturday with our Canadian family in Alaska.  We had another amazing time, and even the sun managed to show up for the party.

We still haven't received our posting message, but are hoping it will be on it's way soon.  We are screening for Cold Lake, Alberta, so we will find out soon enough, all the details.

The weather here this summer has been crappy, the wettest that we have seen, and for some reason, it's brought out the bears, black and brown....they are every where, we even have one here at the lake.

he/she has been in the neighbors garbage and then last night took the other neighbors bear proof garbage can for a ride....not sure if there was anything taken but it's a bit scary.

A few girls and I went on a camping trip here in town, and when we got into our campers (trailers) my friend looked out and saw a bear....we were so glad to be not in a tent...there was a few people in tents.....eeeeek!!!
of course my camera and my friends was out in the cars, so we only had our cell phones....not the best pictures but after a bit of editing they are way better...it will be a camp trip to remember.

I have slowing getting rid of things we don't want to move, took 2 loads to the Church, they have a sale there every month and I always get good deals, so I thought I would pass along so stuff....where we live no one comes out to garage sales so it's not worth having one, and all the sales goes to charity.

Haven't' been hiking at all, the rain, and bears are keeping me at home.  But I have been crocheting alot, which I don't do that much usually in the summer, because we are outside taking in the scenes etc....

Well I just make some dinner buns to go with our pulled pork for dinner, my flour is running out so will have to buy a smaller bag as we will be moving.

have a great day, and Happy 4th of July to all our American friends and family!!
