The Arctic Circle!

Posted on August 11, 2014 by Denise Fuller

This morning Mark told me he didn’t sleep most of the night because of dogs barking in somebody’s back yard. I woke up with a swollen eyelid because something bit me during the night. Before I even got out of bed I was on my laptop looking for another place to spend tonight. We grabbed all our stuff and were out of the tree house before anyone else was out of bed apparently. We may not be able to get our money back for tonight at that hostel, but it’s worth it to be in a motel tonight! Continue reading →

Hostelling

Posted on August 10, 2014 by Denise Fuller

When I was in my early 20s I spent a night in a youth hostel at Cannon Beach. I was in a dorm room with several other young women and had an enjoyable evening chatting with one young woman who was bicycling across the country. The next day she was going to her ultimate destination – Astoria, OR. It felt heady, exciting, to stay in a hostel and meet interesting people. Continue reading →

Three little birds

Posted on August 8, 2014 by Denise Fuller

This morning I was doing inventory in the gift shop when I heard a noise. I looked back through the back room to the enclosed porch and saw a small bird inside, beating it’s wings against the window trying to get out. Continue reading →

Black birds? Ravens? Crows?

Posted on August 5, 2014 by Denise Fuller

I used to think that black bird, raven and crow were all names for the same bird. Not so. Whereas crows make a sound like “Caw! Caw!”, ravens make a sound more like “Elk! Elk!” I guess that’s appropriate for this area. 😉

Thank you!

Thank you to all who sent prayers and well-wishes for Mark. His baritone has turned to bass and his appetite is better. He still has a cough but he’s going to try returning to work tomorrow. Continue reading →

Another one bites the dust

Posted on July 31, 2014 by Denise Fuller

Well, not quite “bites the dust”, but Mark is singing a very deep bass this week. He has something bronchial going on and missed work today. He’ll probably miss another day or two as well the way he’s going. I took him to the doctor this morning and she said something is going around Tok that she hasn’t quite figured out yet. Please pray for Mark.

A quicky

Posted on July 30, 2014 by Denise Fuller

I didn’t get a chance to write about our trip to Fairbanks yesterday. Something really cool happened. As we were driving on a long, lonely stretch of the highway, Mark suddenly slowed down and said, “Look!” At the top of the incline we were climbing, right in the middle of the highway, stood a bull moose. Spottings of males are quite rare, as I’m coming to understand. As we slowly approached, he finally decided to turn and saunter off the highway. What a treat!

Making acquaintences

Posted on July 27, 2014 by Denise Fuller

Last Wednesday Mark had an appointment for a massage by a young woman Rose had told us about. The young woman’s name is Amy and her mother is Kris. Kris runs a B&B near Moon Lake, about fifteen miles west of Tok. Mark had a wonderful massage and said that I would get one as soon as I am well. Continue reading →

On the mend… physically and spiritually

Posted on July 24, 2014 by Denise Fuller

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to all of you who sent well wishes and prayers for me. Tonight I feel almost human again and I’ve been told by an on-call nurse that I am no longer contagious, even though I’m still sniffling and sneezing and coughing. Tomorrow I’m going to try half a day at work and see how I do. Poor Miss Rose has had to cover for me too long! Continue reading →

Sick and tired

Posted on July 23, 2014 by Denise Fuller

Saturday at work I thought my throat was dry so I kept drinking water. By Saturday evening I realized I had a sore throat. Sunday morning I woke up with swollen glands and a sore throat so we stayed home all day. Monday we also stayed home and rested, but it was obvious I wasn’t getting any better so I knew I wouldn’t be in to work on Tuesday. Continue reading →
