DaniDanielle Posted August 19, 2020 #851 Share Posted August 19, 2020 We had fun with the bees yesterday. We were eating outside and one would come investigate and we would get it. After that another one came and we got that one. This was the game for quite awhile, my daughter and daughter-in-law would catch one and another would show up. We decided they must send out a bee signal! The fly swatter had quite a workout 😳🐝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted August 19, 2020 #853 Share Posted August 19, 2020 We have had two turkeys roam the neighborhood and a family of four, ducklings and mom. We are not in a wooded section so this was entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got tested for Covid before we left (negative fortunately for both of us...whew!) as required by Alaska travel restrictions. We are sooooo remote out here, 10 miles from town...last 3 down two track gravel road. Very quiet. Lots of Halibut stocked up now for grilling! 🙂 And of course so is the wine. Sitting on the big deck of the cabin looking out over the bay and three glaciers on the opposite side...surreal! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to hear they made it, and they are most welcome. 🙂 Fishing indeed is great up here. We both love Halibut...only kept what we wanted for the two weeks at the cabin, gave the rest to the other four (very grateful) fisherman/woman on the boat we chartered. I also caught some Rockfish...great in Tacos and sandwiches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted August 21, 2020 #869 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Subs or Hoagies, but have seen listed as Grinders....Wedge?? Is that like soda in Florida, versus "pop" in Michigan where I originated from? 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how you could tell where someone was from at the University of Missouri back in the day The chart indicates the south just says Coke A little bit of Soda in South FL Edited August 21, 2020 by John&LaLa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can remember one poster busting your b!@#$ about you being from Florida only doing cruises for vacations and getaways and now you have no life because of COVID shutting down cruising. I also remember you setting that poster straight concerning your travels. 👍 Enjoy. 🍷🍷 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
