Ahh Vacation

Dad is in Anchorage still as Mary left Tuesday night to return to work. Since is it pretty much light all day long, rather than stay up for 24 hours we simply go to bed when we want to and if we wake up and it is light, our brain says 'so' and we go back to sleep. That being the case I find we sleep until 9:00 or 10:00am. Get started rather late. I am getting plenty of sleep and since I do not have to work, I can sleep more and more.
Tomorrow I get to work fixing the fence to keep Winston the Hell Dog in the yard and away from humans.

Mary and Dad in AK Phase 1

Mary and Jim arrived in Anchorage 1:30 Friday morning to visit Michael. We spend a quiet Friday, sleeping and lounging around and Saturday morning took off to Kasilof River for a little dip netting. We set up camp nearby in a somewhat campsite. Then we set off for a little dip netting. It was crowded and full of fish guts. We spent a few days at this and then Sunday night we returned to Mike's for a badly needed shower and a sushi dinner downtown Anchorage.
You may have to wait for pictures as the camera was dropped in the sand.

The Colorado Podolaks decided to travel to Central America. The first Step was Atlantic Iowa. We arrived in town for the evening enjoyed a meaty meal and decided for a rousing night life about 7:00 pm. Alas, the sidewalks were rolled up.

Scandanavians
