Summer is Coming to a Close..

Hello friends and family! We are extra-super-sorry that it has been sooo long since our last update. We have had kind of a crazy summer to tell the truth. We've been working too much, but we've also had some excellent times, enjoying visits from friends and family. Our friends Dave and Barb Whiteman stayed with us off and on while they were in sunny Southern Southeast Alaska. We were also blessed to have a brief visit from Carolyn's Aunt & Uncle (the visit part, not that it was brief) when they came through on a cruise ship.

Possibly the most exciting event was a visit from the Mom-in-law. She came for 10 days during the first half of August and it was a lot of fun having her stay with us. Shortly after she arrived, we all hopped on a ferry and headed up to Petersburg for a quick visit with my parents. While we were there we enjoyed the scenery and a boating adventure. I promise no matter what you heard, I didn't really try to sink the boat!

Back in Ketchikan there were visits to the Blueberry Arts Fest, shopping trips, and tasty dinners. One of my favorite activities was taking Mama K out to the gun range to try out a few of my guns. She did awesome! She plinked around with the .22 and the .38, but she really shined when firing the .45, wow!
All-in-all this has been an excellent summer, but now that things are cooling down and its getting dark earlier maybe we'll have time to curl up with a computer and update this thing a little more often. Much love to you all- James
