Friends and Family

I stayed in town for another busy weekend. It is still sunny and hot with less haze each day. Friday night we had a Mexican Fiesta at the Gerken's. Table full of good food especially Loretta's to-die-for-fresh salsa and Danielle's homemade chips. Can't wait to make my own. Some played the corn game but mostly we visited and enjoyed the 'ritas.Saturday I met Becky and her family that are here from Wisconsin for pizza and couple hours of doing the tourist thing downtown. We rode the trolley, visited the ULU gift shop and saw salmon in Ship Creek. They rode the train to Seward on Sunday and saw four bear. Spending this week in Soldotna with Chris and Becky.

Sunday started out with plans to go with the Gerken family and enjoy being in the sun and Gene's new toy-a Yamaha Wave Runner-

But John found a leak in the bathroom faucet that could not wait for repairing. After several trips to Home Depot he got it fixed but then it was too late to go to Big Lake. Luckily, we stayed here though because Pat and Kelley called and they are in town. We met them at the BrewHouse for dinner and a quick catching up visit. YUM! (Rats, I didn't take my camera)
