Woke up late this morning as we arrived to the campground
around 1:00 a.m. It was a
wonderful sleep—no rocking!!! Was
greeted by a new friend (George, and his wife, Joan—met them on the ferry). George let me know that the radio had
just been announcing the need for volunteers. So, off we go!
Matt and I scuttled up to the radio station (above the cultural center)
to ask for the name and number of the contact person for volunteering. Hmmm, I had
not understood that they wanted volunteers FOR the radio station. First, they asked if I would DJ on the
radio—“What?! Oh, no thank you!” (Can you imagine what my voice volume
and laughter would do to the sound system?!) Instead, they will let me do some data entry and Matt will
be cleaning their record collection.
So, now the question is—When will we get to Homer?! Isn’t it interesting how life changes
during the living of it?!
Raining again today, so we stopped to visit with George and
Joan. They are building their home—gorgeous! So many people have such amazing talents!
Tonight, I am trying to catch up with email and the blog at
the library. In the next room, the
community has gathered to watch a canoe building (native) film. Quite a beautiful mix of people…Excuse
me, I think Matt and I will join.
I will add photos when I connect with WiFi again...As you have noticed, my ability to connect is more often a "miss" than a "hit".
Hope this finds you all well and happy!
