Just a catch up - - -

Not a whole lot of news. Just spent the week in Bethel at an all-district in-service. I had a great time staying at my best friend Connie's house along with a couple of teachers from her school in Eek (yes, that's the real name of the village!).

I was very happily surprised with a birthday dinner last Monday - and it's not very easy to surprise me (just ask my husband). Many of the staff joined us for a spaghetti dinner and combo - confetti-brownie cake - that we had great difficulty getting out of the pan!

It tasted much better than it looked!

After the in-service, on the way home from Bethel, I got to sit in the co-pilot's seat which was great fun until about halfway to Toksook, when my stomach climbed up to my mouth and I just prayed for the last twenty minutes for the plane to land!

 

I took this because I thought the algae (or whatever green swamp thing it was) looked so cool making a perfect arrow in a circle (to the right).  Photo doesn't do it justice, of course - the swamp stuff was very green.

I know I've posted a lot of sunrises, but they never cease to amaze me.  This was the view out my living room windows this morning:
