Another weekend comes and goes...

Another weekend comes and goes.... which brings us to Monday morning. This weekend did bring some more adventure to the village. I'll get to that in just a bit.
Friday evening Patty and I went to Jeannie's to watch a movie with Jeannie and Len. We watched Brokeback Mountain. Saturday morning Patty and I had a early morning visitor that woke us up by pounding on the door. Out on our porch was this strange looking lady with snow in her hands... We were pelted with snow as we cheerfully greeted her. (It was Jeannie) Later that day we had other visitors. Amy and Jodi, our Stebbins SpEd girls, came to visit. Amy has decided to return to the lower 48 next year. It amazes me how the majority of the SpEd teachers in our district have bonded. (Amy... I'll miss you... especially when we go to Nome...lol) Later that afternoon Jeannie and Len delivered the exercise bike I had ordered... then Joe came by... I put together the bike and then went to Joe's and watched movies with he and Ryan.

Sunday... day of rest... that is pretty much what we did the majority of the day. The power went out about 2:00 or so... so we decided it was a great time to just lay around and relax. It came back on for about half an hour and then went out again. This time we decided it would be best if we took naps. So we did... Awake about 7:00 only to find that we still had no electricity. We went over to Jeannie's to check out her situation. They were electric! Patty showered there and I headed to the school to do the same. Back to Jeannie's as she was making us dinner (at 9:00pm). We went home and hoped it would be a different situation... but nope... still powerless. All I can say about the whole thing... thank God it has warmed up. Yesterday it was almost 50 degrees. With no heat, our house was about 55 or so this morning. Oh well... that is life in the bush!

This was our beautiful Sunday night sky. It was all pinks and oranges... awesome sight!

Patty on honeybucket duty! (Sorry Roger)
