Summer Solstice

Happy Summer Solstice! From Dawn to Dusk: 20 Hours of light!

Harbor Mountain and vicinity

Last week was not that eventful. I have been struggling with kidney stones all week, which has put a damper on our time. The Sitka medical staff has been wonderful. They have been very friendly, helpful, and genuinely concerned for me. We've wanted to be outside in the beautiful weather, but with the episodes I've been having it is not always what we are able to do. We did get out a little though. We went to Sitka National Historic Park - the sight of a battle between the Russians and Tlinget Indians - and we took some pictures of the totems. We also hiked a portion of Harbor Mountain (see above picture) and we were able to see all of Mt. Edgecumbe. Generally, the mountain is clouded over, but we were finally able to get a good look at it.

I had my first halibut and chips today. If you know me well, you know I'm not a fish fan. They just reminded me of the fish sticks that my mom would feed us when we were younger, just a little bigger in size. They were not that bad, I wouldn't want them all the time, but I also wouldn't say I'd never have them again. I'm glad I tried them. :)

Please keep praying for my health, and for God's will in our lives.
