Whoza, what a busy few weeks it has been.  No projects completed, I’m just trying to maintain order! We had some visitors from Canada who live on the Alaskan Highway.  Among other things, Stephen hunts wolves that are bothering the cattle.  Lillian has a very interesting background.  Her mother and father were both from the Ukraine.  Her mother’s family were killed by the Germans all except for a sister-in-law and her baby who escaped into the woods and Lillian’s mother who had been sent to Germany to a work camp.

They hiked quite a ways up the hill near our house before we got a phone call on the cell phone asking to be picked up.  Those girls had some stamina! Unsure of what they would need, they gathered some unusual items for their “back packs”. 🙂  We didn’t get a picture of everything but some other items they took were frozen strawberries.  So cute…
