back in the middle of may, i went north to livengood for (almost) a week of field work
a day of rest, and another day of fieldwork, then i was off to see my brother commissioned as an officer in the Air Force back home
we got back with a week to spare before the church's youth group camp for girls (inventively named girl's camp), which i was organizing this year, exploded
that was half a week, and after a day to try and do laundry (we totally ignored the cobwebs and the dust), we raced down to chitina after work friday for dipnettingwe caught one fish.
to make up for it, we camped out saturday night too, rather than racing back for church. in a real campground, minus the wind and silt.
just the one relaxing day was priceless.last week we just tried to breathe and find something to eat in our depleted cupboards (still no time to shop), did at least 10 loads of laundry (for 2 people!!!), had knitting group over, and stared in dismay at our overgrown yard
our garden may be doomed this year.on the bright side, i was a good girl and took lots of pictures, of family and scenery and even some knitting that got finished and gifted, and downloaded and uploaded it all yesterday (bumping my free flickr account way over the 200 picture limit). whew. so expect to see some more illustrated bedtime stories soon.

Wow! You are BUSY! Sounds like a ton of fun though. :) We need to talk on the phone again sometime.
You really take summer at a dead run, don't you? Girl's camp must have been madness with giggle overload. good for you.
And hooray for your brother! Tell him I said, "Thank you for taking care of me!"
