Family arrives!

 I was able to fly into Bethel the afternoon before my family came, which was a real treat. I could relax at our friend's home, have a glass of wine,  and wait for their arrival. It didn't take long as they offloaded quickly. What took long was the towering pile of luggage!

 Reunited!

Gosh the girls have grown!!

Gosh Bruce and I have grayed!

Part of the increasing load were the tools that Bruce brought with him. He had some projects set up ahead of time and became the "traveling handyman". The traveling part was the tough one.

Planes waiting to go out. They have their blankets removed from the engines (used to keep them warm). When we got into our chartered 207 the pilot needed to remove our plane's blanket. We sat inside while the engine choked and sputtered getting the prop to rotate.

Lily is tucked in tight with gear.


Gwen and I looked shell shocked....

Going in for the landing.

 Thank you to Joe P. for being available to pick us up. We loaded up most of the gear and took off. Mary, the local agent, came and picked up the rest dropping it off near our home. Beautiful day to arrive, just windy, which equals cold.

Home Sweet Home again
(for two plus months)!
