Correction

Lots to write about here! The bottom pic is in the kennel. The second to bottom is of a 'walk'. Mooney does not yet grasp the concept of walking.  She thinks I pull her while she locks her legs and drags her butt on the ground. It looks like sled tracks. The one above that is of an official walk...Mooney did much better on this one (ask for the complete story, too much to type). The top two are of the day here. We got about an inch of snow. Beautiful sky though. We also worked on the second half of the welding shop.

St. Michael

Here are a few pictures of St. Michael. (Once a year the district flies everybody in to be together for a week long in-service) St. Michael was formerly occupied by the military. It was also a fairly big port. The big pieces of metal are boilers from old steam ships. They are everywhere. The beach also has lots of beach glass. Beach glass is glass that has been warn down by the waves so it is smooth. The top picture is of the school. Overall a really interesting village.

Meet Mooney

Here is my dog. It's the one with the blue collar on. Her name is 'Mooney'.  I am flying to St. Michael (another village in our district) tomorrow and will be back Friday.  Mooney will meet her new home then.

A few pictures from walks

With no gyms, movie theaters, or 'other' entertainment I take lots of walks. Here are a few pictures from them. The first three were taken about the same time on the same walk. The bottom one was taken on Sunday, October 18, 2009

Nome, Ak

I am head coach of the volleyball team. We went to Nome, Ak for a 6 team tournament. The top picture is of the Alaskan Airlines 737 half cargo/half passenger jet. It flies from Nome to Anchorage daily. The second picture is the plane we charted back to Brevig. The third plane is the district plane. (These pictures were taken at 915ish in the morning) Another team was flying it back to their village. The second picture is of a hill behind Nome. There are some buildings on the top that housed old listening equipment during the cold war. The last picture is of the Nome high school. They have a big gym and pool....even a weight room!

A few pictures of this and that

a


Here are a few pictures of the views from around town. I've seen the sky in Montana, it is not as big as it is here. The two dogs are Tim and Amy's. Can you guess what they are?

Health Fair

We were all ready to have Brevig's first health fair in some time. The only problem is that the 12 doctors, nutritionist, and nurse's were stuck in Nome. The planes were not flying due to high winds.

Dog House

The top picture is the dog house that I 'saved'. It was in sad shape and I put a new floor on it. It is the only one in Brevig that has a door. The bottom two are the pastors dog house. My dog is in there...somewhere.

Musk Ox

I came home the other day and there was a trail of blood to my apartment. John got a musk ox and hung the skin out to dry. It still needs to have the fat taken off. It is still there too. I took the top picture when I was walking out of my apt and thought the sky look pretty.
