Aug 1st
Oh my goodness what a week. We enjoyed a few days at Valdez and then on Friday evening we drove back to Audrey's the DRS work site to work for a few more days. On Sat. we were notified that Harv and Kathleen's mother passed away. Harv and Kathleen drove to Anchorage on Sunday night to fly to Iowa for the Funeral. They had to leave at 7:00pm Sunday night because the highway was scheduled to be closed from midnight until 6:00am for repair so had to be passed the constuction site before midnight. They left Anchorage about 9:30 Monday morning and arrived in Sioux City 10:pm The funeral was on Tues and the returned on Wed. Some very long days but praise the Lord mom is dancing with Jesus now and we are so thankful for her 92 years. While they were gone the Jones and I worked some for Audrey and rested some because the rain. We also went to the Copper river to the fish wheel and got 9 salmon so cleaned those and Audrey taught us how to smoke them and can them. We are taking a few home with us.
On Sunday our new granddaughter Hannah Elyse was born to our daughter in VA. So we have moch to be thankful for. They are all well and we can hardly wait to visit them again soon.
We left Valdez area this morning and are in Tok tonight and should be in Canada again tomorrow, headig for home. It will probably be another 3 weeks before we get there.
God is good all the time. Love Verla
