Pictures! Finally!

Hello All! FINALLY! (sorry) The reason for the yelling is that my blog is finally letting me post. Before the window was all screwed up and I couldn't write anything! or show pictures!

The first picture I'll share is my house! It's super tiny but oh so cute, and the perfect size for me :D

The next picture is of the school. If you were standing on my little front porch and looked to your left the school would be right there. That's actually where I was standing when I took the picture.


The next pictures are of Dad and I in the plane flying to Kong and some pictures of what the tundra looks like from the sky :D


The next picture is of the "New" School. It was hopefully going to open around Christmas time but unfortunately they've been having some issues with the plumbing, So the school will not be ready until next school year. On an even sadder note, they are moving my house to where the new school is so every morning I have to walk a mile to the old school, in the winter! The new school is a mile away from the old one....gah!



Here are some beautiful pictures of the tundra. We (and by we I mean Megan, Amanda, Rachel, and I) take a lot of walks along the board walk to give the dogs exercise. It's awesome because the landscape never bores you!




These are some pictures of Kong. The first one is of the "main drag." Basically it's one of the main boardwalks that we take to go down town to pick up things at the store, go to the lagoon to dump the honey buckets, or go to the post office. The next picture is of the post office, and the last picture is of the river and one of the barges that came in.




THROW PARTY! These pictures are of a throw party for Mary Lou's daughter. She got married that day :) Mary Lou is one of the elementary teachers at the school. The other picture is of Amanda and Rachel. I took this picture a few minutes before a big plastic bucket was chucked in my direction. It was one of those big plastic buckets you can use to haul ice or fish, whatever. I didn't catch it but I did slice my hand open "blocking" it. I must say Amanda and I are getting better at the throw party technique. We know now where to "stand" to get the best loot and when it comes to the candy I stay out of her way....Amanda gets Mean! I once got a fruit by the foot.....and she didn't.......oooohhhhh Lord. She didn't like me for awhile.




Amanda dumping her honey bucket. I believe this was the second time she did it and that was enough. I am now the official dumper for Rachel and Amanda. It truly doesn't bother me ( Megan doesn't care either) My payment is a pop and a candy bar....I know...it's pretty steep but Hey! I have to live too ya know! The usual payment to have a student do it is $5. So I'm probably, realistically with the prices here, about the same.




PUPPIES!! Well, Moose is a puppy. Midnight is only a year and a half. Lacy....well she's an 'ole bird. Megan, Rachel, and Amanda all have dogs so I'm constantly around them...which I love! Hopefully I'll be adding one to the pack here soon but until then I'm the loveable Auntie!

The first picture is of Moose and Midnight on my couch. I babysat them while Amanda and Rachel were doing.....something. Midnight is a vizsla, heeler mix. I've never seen a vizsla black, we have our vizsla Bailey at home and she does not look like that! Midnight is definitely vizsla though. He does the weird head thing and he tries to hug us too. (Just like ours back home) Moose is a golden retriever. I have to say babysitting them gets confusing with both of them having "M's" as their first letter in their name. The next picture was taken on Megan's couch or what she calls her 'basement', cause it's the "Dog Couch." Lacy is the dog on the right. She is a crochety old lady who likes to keep the other two in place. Love her! The last one is of Moose romping around in the tundra :D





These next pictures were taken the day that we cooked the goose and the tom cods. Margaret is on the right and she's the school's secretary. Love her! She's a doll. She brought us Agudach that night too....I'm officially addicted to it. The next picture is a handfull of berries I picked one day on the tundra with Amanda, Megan, and Rachel. I think I've started Moose on an addiction with berries because I fed him half the berries I found. And Agudach is made of berries....so there ya go.




Last but not least, some pictures of my students! The one on the left was taken for their class newspaper. This is my "older" high school class. They came up with the idea of the pose, I just took the picture. The class newspapers actually turned out too! I was very proud of them. The other picture is of the Cross Country Team!! They did so well all! If you want to see better pictures of the x country team, go to Amanda's blog. I'm a follower of hers and she has tons of pics from Cross Country.





I hope you enjoyed some of my pictures. I promise I'll put more up later. I'm coaching the speech team so I'll put some pictures of that as well as what my house looks like and all that jazz. Love and miss you all! CHEERS!
