July 12, 2017 - Another Year Older...

Yesterday I celebrated my 57th birthday, thank you for all the well wishes by e-mail, phone and in person. Otherwise for the most part it was just another day in Alaska, we started the day by driving Rick to Ninilchik where he picked up his halibut fishing charter, next was a stop by Kasilof for breakfast and then back to the trailer to regroup and try fishing without any luck. At 3:00 p.m. it was time to go back down and pick Rick up, Rick was one of the lucky two of six on his boat to catch a halibut, a nice 36-40 pounder. After we got home Nancy had a great birthday supper ready of sausage in marinara sauce and seafood in Alfredo sauce complete with salad, bread and birthday cake. After supper we cut, packaged and froze the halibut and then it was a shower and off to bed. Today we left at 7:45 a.m. to take Rick to the Anchorage airport and pick up Bill's Nephew Wayne. Our trip to Anchorage also included stops at the Russian River, Cabela's, Lowe's, Great Alaskan Holidays and Smashburger. Once again Nancy had supper ready for us when we got home. After supper I changed bedding on the two beds and did some computer work while Les and Bill went fishing. Wayne also stayed home for some much needed sleep.
