Yesterday Mark paid for a brand new tow dolly still in the box at Camping World in Burlington, WA, and they promised they’d have it ready for pick up today by noon. We ran a couple errands in Lynden and then drove down to pick up our new tow dolly. Continue reading
Last night (September 2nd) Mark went out after dark and discovered that we were getting snow mixed with rain. It must have gotten colder during the night because this morning when we opened our blinds there was a light dusting of snow on the picnic tables and some on the ground. Everyone’s been talking about it today. Miss Rose says she heard that this is the earliest recorded snow in Tok (or was it Alaska?) since 1925. This is the earliest I’ve ever seen snow!
This morning we woke up to nice weather. We went into work and I found out that Rose wanted me to work on the book shelves. We have a little shelf out in the laundry room and a big shelf on the enclosed back porch of the main building. Rose had a friend bequeath boxes and boxes of books to her and she wanted to use them all. Continue reading

Yesterday the wind picked up. It was so strong that the door of our RV nearly flew out of Mark’s hand when he opened it. I had my cowboy hat cinched under my chin and the wind picked it up off my head. Fortunately I was able to hang onto it till we got in the car. Continue reading
