A Little Bit Of Everything

There is a bit of snow starting to show up on the mountains. There has not been a good snow yet in town, but its getting colder and there will soon be snow covering the ground.
This last weekend the staff volunteered their Saturday to go to Nome and pick 5 palates of supplies includes soda and food to Brevig. Staff members loaded freight from Nome to the boat and from the boat to the truck and from the truck to the extra room for supplies. It was a lot of lifting and coordinating. It wouldn't have been possible without the help of everyone.
This is just a small section of how much material was moved that Saturday afternoon.
Chris took some driftwood from the beach and made cuts into and made it into a photograph display.
Another driftwood display!
The weekend we got married, we decided to paint all the walls facing north in the duplex. It looks wonderful and it is so relaxing. We made the color all by ourselves by mixing in a dark blue with white. I think it turned out pretty well.
My first baking creation! Blueberry Streusel Muffins. They look delicious and even taste good.



The next pictures are graphic. They are pictures of some seals that were hunted by the natives.












Seal hunting is a way of life and there is an abundance of seals around the area. They are used for food, for fur and for the oil. The seal oil is a delicacy that is used to dip walrus or meat into. You don't need much, just a tad or a dip, too much will hurt the stomach.
These were three that were there when I arrived, but the boat pulled up a bit later and brought in another one. That was one happy Eskimo family.

Other news. Chris is now the VPSO (Village Patrol Safety Officer) or "sheriff" of the village Brevig Mission.
I am coaching the co-ed volleyball team. I will post pictures after we have our first tournament.
