A Sunday in the Rainforest

Today Dennis and I began preparing to leave Alaska by realizing we wanted to take some of home with us to Seattle for the first seven weeks of radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Things like homemade lox from the last salmon fillets in the freezer and ground venison from some of the deer meat. We also began to realize it will take the week to put this temporary move altogether! We have also heard from family and friends that they will visit, and we are looking forward to many Seattle visitors and to Labor Day - Dennis wants to try and attend his 40th high school class reunion in Trenton, Missouri. Today I overheard him say he feels a "lot better than this time last week (his first day home)." That's really good news....

Today Kona dog and I visited a close friend and excellent acupressure expert, and had our own individual sessions! Joann, it was wonderful, and Kona was overheard snoring on the way home in the car! Right before heading upstairs to bed, I peeked in on the blueberries picked yesterday in the freezer, about 2 gallons worth. I put them in the freezer on jelly roll pans and they were just about ready for the freezer bags. I need to get them out of there because Dennis has decided to remove "those old halibut heads I saved for the crab pots." Sigh....only in Alaska!
Talk with you tomorrow, Faith and Dennis
