Short Hike and Dog Training

Went back up to Eveline for another hike. Left the dog at home and only slightly lost trying to decipher the trail maps.

In the afternoon we took the new puppy for a training class.

Eveline Recreation Area and Downtown Homer

Yesterday we went for a hike through the Eveline Recreation Area. Had a nice walk until we took a wrong turn and ended up having to backtrack. I almost lost a shoe when I missed a tuft of tundra and sank in the mud. My sister had to best me by sinking both her feet in the tundra mud. The dog was covered in mud. These are few shots I took along the way.





Today, while my sister was doing some volunteer work, I went wandering around Homer. I had to get a few ingredients for dinner tonight. I was also looking for a few more pairs of winter socks.

My favorite bakery
It has been a year and a half since I was last in Homer. When I entered the bakery there were a few people chatting in front of the counter. They told me they had ordered and moved to the right to let me by, I went to the left, as soon as, I could see the counter and the young lady (I forgot her name) behind the counter she looked up at me and said “Chocolate Bread”, this is of course my usual order. I LOVE this place.

He/She Bang and NO KINGS DAY

Thursday Night I attended our local annual theatre production. These are a few scenes from the show. This takes place at the Mine Shaft Tavern Theatre in Madrid New Mexico. All proceeds from the show go into a Community Medical Fund, which helps people in our local community with medical bills.

This year's theme is Puppets.
