Aren't these glass balls beautiful? Some even have water in them. My Uncle Seward made a number of glass ball displays in his yard.

The bike parade comes back through the viewing area to see who wins prizes---the kids are all filled with excitement!!

The anniversary cake my sister, Shirlee and I decorated for our parent's 59th wedding anniversary that we celebrated on July 4th. Their anniversary is in June but I wasn't able to be there at that time so it was postponed.
We four sisters. Don't laugh at my wind blown hair--we just had fun and couldn't complain--at least it wasn't raining. :)

Seeing the two beautiful Pavalof volcanoes towering above the fog means I was close to being back to my home land of King Cove! :)

Leaving the Cove

I don't know if Tommy was worried but I was. I didn't want to be stranded in the middle of this creek with water almost up to the window. Well, we made it as usual and had a fun fishing time. (From the looks of Tommy--he looks delighted to be this deep in the water, he probably had visions of wading in it with his hip boots on) :)

Beautiful lupines lining the rugged road to Mortensen's for our fishing adventure.

Now this is the scene from the front window in the small airplane ride from King Cove to Cold Bay. Not my idea of fun.

I looked and saw all this fog and said to myself, "Not again"!!!! The last time I did this trip we circled in this bay because we could barely see any land. All I could say, is that I was thankful that it wasn't also windy. But, if there would of been wind then, there would be no fog. Just can't win. :)

Now this is some lovely scenery!!

Good bye to King Cove. Was nice visiting as usual. Sort of disappointed that I didn't see a bear around with all of the driving I did.

Girls, Girls, Girls!!

Why does Grandma make me wear this thing on my head?

HI EVERYONE!

God is soooo Good!!

This edible fruit arrangement was such a blessing to me as well as the rest of the family in Florida. Although, it was like a message right from God at the time for me. It was sent from the church they attend to congratulate the family on the birth of Sage Montego. Ok, to explain: Jim and I along with the two little ones were getting ready to go grocery shopping and at the top of the list was fruit. The little ones eat fruit all of the time and pineapple is their favorite! Just before I head out the door we get this gorgeous fruit arrangement delivery! It was beautiful and DELICIOUS!! (especially the pineapple) I was just in awe at how God always pulls through. At the time I was struggling with worry about baby Sage as she was admitted into the hospital with a fever which was unexplainable. (she was born at home and was only 4 days old at this time) The delivery of the the arrangement was a message to me from God that He knows what was going on and He was going to see that all was going to be just fine. I had a peace in my heart and a thankfulness that humbled me. God is just sooooo good!! Baby Sage was in the hospital for 4 days and all of the tests came back negative. She is at home and doing well.
