Time With Friends

Tracey Miller so graciously opened her home to us while we were in the North Pole. We had allot of fun - the snake not withstanding. UGH. She didn't make me touch him though and was actually very kind about it!!! LOL And, just so you know... he (Bob, the snake) was in the basement and I wouldn't have had to go down there at all. Thanks for everything Tracey!!!


Cameron Hill trying out a bow and arrow set he had made.


Byron & Warren


Warren & Carla Hill were very gracious and loaned us their vehicle while we were up there. We flew into Anchorage where Warren picked us up at the airport then we left the next morning after grabbing a couple hours sleep and drove 8 hours to Dot Lake where the camp was. Then we drove back down to their house on Tuesday the next week. We then spent a couple days with them. We had such a nice time with them. It had been at least 8 yrs since we had seen them. They make great tour guides! Thanks for everything Warren & Carla! Carla has some pics up on her blog too.


Byron and his little buddy, Nicholas. Nicholas is a foster child of Warren and Carla's and hopefully in August will become legally theirs!

Vonnie Bryan & I

Lisa (Coursin) McNutt and her little girl - whose name escapes me at the moment. Lisa's sister and I graduated together from IWS many moons ago.
We were so happy to be able to spend some time with Kevin and Peggy Taylor and Annalisa (who was at camp also) and their little guy, Zach. Unfortunately, however, we didn't get any pictures with Kevin and Peggy. Here is Zach...

We had a lovely evening with the Newtons. They fixed us a wonderful meal of roast moose and fried halibut. It was so delicious. We really enjoyed getting to know the Newtons.

I'm glad you had the opportunity to go to Alaska. It is beautiful. It's great to see the pictures of my sister, Vonnie, my Aunt Gwen, and my good friend, Tracey. Why do they have to live so far away? Oh, well, look who's talking! :-)

Julie! I'm so jealous!!! I would love to go back...both for the place and the people who live there. Tom preached at Dot Lake camp over our 1st year anniversary which means that was ten years ago. I loved seeing these pics!
