Happy Holidays

Hello, Everyone,
We had a very snowy winter last year... it started snowing in Nov. 2006 and didn't stop until May of 2007.


Casey & Heather came for a visit in March. This summer, granddaughter Madison's, softball team won region champs in the Sequim, WA area. She is a straight A student as well.Nancy worked May - mid August. The Columbia went down early due to mechanicals, which didn't leave many positions open. Rob has kept working so far only missing a couple of weeks out. He keeps busy around the house when he is home... always has some project going.He hasn't had any luck fishing or hunting this year so far, but still have my fingers crossed that we will get some venison. We did get plenty of crab and clams.

Cooper got a job on a fishing boat, the Puffin and worked on the Viking Maid also. Did herring, crabbing, salmon and halibut. Most recently he has been staying with Heather and Casey and working with Casey in the tree trimming business.

Casey & Heather had a daughter, Charlee-Ann on Aug. 7 th. She weighed 7 lb. 10 oz., and was 20.25" long. That makes 4 granddaughters for us!Casey, Heather and Charlee came down in Sept. and Casey cut many trees from the side and back of our property and the neighbor’s.

He is very good at what he does... we were impressed. There have been more requests for him to come down and do some more work in the area. Casey’s boss has been working at the mine out of Juneau this past summer and wants to have Casey manage the business when he is out of town. Here is a photo of Heather and Casey with Charlee when I visited them in Juneau in Nov.


The day they headed back to Juneau, Cooper and I flew to OR for a visit with Luck (Frank) & Kathy. Daughters Angela and Amy were there from VA with their families too. The group photo is of Angela with her two boys Evan and Keith, Luck (Frank) & Kathy, myself and Cooper. The photo on the porch is Kathy w/Angela's boys and Cecelia (young Lucky's daughter).

Mom had some back problems this year and was in a lot of pain, but is back to feeling good now and walks a little most days. She had originally planned to go to OR with us, but decided to wait til she felt better.

Since she didn’t go down, Luck & Kathy came for a visit here in Oct. for the 1st time in many years. What fun it was to visit, share meals and show them the sights here. They got to see a pod of whales move through the channel when we were at an overlook out the road and eagles of course.

I finally chose a new camera and love it. It is an Olympus Evolt 510. It is one of the only digital SLRs that you can use the view screen to take the photo as well as using the view finder. The weather hasn't been very cooperative since I got it though.So we have had a good year and hope this finds you all healthy and busy.

Happy Holidays!!

Love, Nanc
