Back in Tunt

As most of you know, I am back in the village. It is so good to be back, and to see all the teachers. Rocky is thrilled to be home and has adjusted well to our new house. :) No messes and he is sleeping all night.

I am almost settled into the house, have cleaned everything and filled my water tank, and now have nearly everything put away.

The weather has been beautiful, today it is overcast and drizzly and about 50 degrees. The last few days have found mornings that are foggy and drizzly and afternoons filled with sunshine. The sun is starting to set earlier and is dusky by about 11:30. It's nice having longer hours of daylight again. Salmon berries are thick this year, many people have been picking, and the blueberry season is just starting. Someone I know recently sold a 5 gal. pail of salmon berries for $300.

Today all second year teachers will fly into Bethel and we will have two days of inservice in Bethel next week we have two days of video inservice here in Tunt. and two work days before school starts.


Airfare to and from Tunt to Bethel has jumped a bit and is $50 one way or $90 round trip, about the same as it was last year when we arrived in the village.

Will write more later. :)
