Tunt happenings

This weekend there were district church meetings held in town for the Moravian church. This afternoon there will be a sale at the community hall for the Russian Orthodox church. I baked some things for a bake sale last year and then attended the sale. It was a very unique experience--will try to attend another bake sale this year, maybe get some pictures. The sale this afternoon might be more of a craft sale..homemade wooden spoons etc. I may go to try and purchase some Christmas gifts.

Last night found us at Jason and Kimberly's house playing games. It's so interesting to see how dynamics change with just two new teachers. It's different not having Ryan, Katy and David around. Ryan and Katy-always sweet and encouraging and two steps ahead in thinking about others--glad to hear they seem to be doing well in OR. Miss David's sense of humor and sarcasm. We (nick,dana, kat, kimberly and jason) chit chatted, had snacks and played kat's new game.

I've been shopping for plane tickets to return after Christmas and for a trip to Juneau over Thanksgiving. PFD fares are out. This means that Alaska Air drops their prices for about 6 weeks so that people who get their dividend checks will purchase sale priced tickets.

Last week Prism Optical people were here to check eyes and the people from the village could order contacts or glasses. Most people who visit stay in the school overnight as there isn't a hotel. :) We have mattresses upstairs for people to use and visitors can buy the school lunches as we don't have a restaurant.


The weather here remains cloudy and rainy and yesterday was chilly. It was dark, dark at 9:30 last night.
