BUSH DIARY AUGUST 1997:
Big fat baby trip: Flew out Saturday August 2, caught the red eye out of Anchorage which was overbooked. They asked for volunteers to take a later trip and by the dust settled there were actually a few vacant seats. Go figure.
Got to Boise about 10 am Mom met me and boy is it HOT in Idaho, 98 degrees kind of hot in August is gruesome. Got everyone visited, got baby stuff shopped and got all that packed in the car. We took off on the 9th headed south and over nighted on Lovelock and visited the Casino and made a 50 dollar profit surprisingly. Next stop was Boomtown the Southern side of Reno and visited the casino there and won a 70 dollar jackpot there. Cool.
Got to Sonoma a bit late because I took a shortcut that was a bit longer than I remembered. We checked into the local Best Western Sonoma. Visited with the family first thing next day. Got all the baby stuff assembled. I had purchased stroller/car carrier combo as well as a high chair. I also got them a baby monitor. Anthony is a cutie pie and has fine dark hair. Smoochies.
We visited with Pat and Beth but mostly hung around and took gobs of pictures. Mom had remade Charlies baby blanket and that was a big hit.
Sonoma to Boise: Left 14th and bid fond farewell. We drove back through Redwood country via 101. We stopped at Mysteries of the Redwood and walked until we saw very tall trees. Later on we stopped briefly at one of the most beautiful rode side stops called Blue Star Highway.
Gorgeous. We drove to Grant's Pass and stayed there. The town was jumping with a local fair and temp was 102!!!
We drove through the south Oregon route through the dry dusty parts through Vale, Ontario and at last Emmett. Whoa, Nellie! Carla had flown to Boise to preview at 64 Thunderbird but it did no please her.
Gale gave Dads ashes to Carla he will visit Seattle for a while. We flew back together-ish. While there we toured the Redhook Brewery, delish! Finally got home to Barrow where it raining very hard. It felt beautifully cool.
8-28: Getting caught up at work with birth certificates and charting, transcription. We have contracted with LTD of New Jersey for transcription, doc's call in and they type and fax us copies. Whee!!
Work drama, one of our nurses swallowed a bottle of pills, so she got sent for a little mental vacation. Barrow is a very challenging place to have a personal crisis.
Carla got laid off from Green Garden last Friday. She is happy to get out of that job. She won't have any trouble finding work. But it will be a good time to finish the deck.
Labor day weekend.
No internet access. Barrow.com has decided they will not provide service until Tim and the Internet decide to speak to each other once again in a more civil manner.
Nifty recipe: Jessie's mother-in-law brought in the most delicious little dumplings. The dumpling skins are made of all things tapioca. It gets softened and rolled into little skins to hold meat/veggie and then get cooked. It was delicious. Mary Jo brought her dumpling back and told Jessie that it kept getting bigger in her mouth and she could not finish it. Uh huh, this from the girl who loves fresh boiled muktuk. The dish is called Saccu. I thought it was pretty darn tasty.
Ok, enough about the big fat vacation and a tiny bit of work.
G'night folks.
