Michael and Martha 25th Wedding Anniversary 2017

Well it's been awhile since I've done a blog post so I thought our 25th wedding anniversary was a really good time to publish one.
  Our favorite place to go each year on our anniversary is to the cabin on Lake Eva on the other side of the island. Harris Air always fly's us over and as usual it was a beautiful flight thanks to our pilot Tor.
   We spent 5 days this time, the longest so far. We had some good weather, fair weather and horrible weather during our stay. The rope broke on the boat motor but John from Harris Air was nice enough to bring us a new motor so Michael didn't have to row the boat all weekend.  LOL
    We tried fishing many times and not one fish was caught the entire time we were there. BOO!
Walked down the trail to the beach one day and Michael fished along the way and I took pictures and watched for yogi. Never saw a bear but it is a beautiful walk and spot for lunch. Passes some other fishermen along the path and they never saw us. Good thing we weren't bears! Always be aware of your surroundings I say!
    Had a wonderful time and came home very rested almost to the point of comatose. Hahaha
Can't wait for our next adventure in this beautiful place we call home. I love you honey! Looking forward to another 25 years with you!

We love this place!

I love this place!

Beaver Tour for Dad's Birthday

Miles and Kathy came for a visit this summer.After showing them everything here in Sitka by land Michael set up a flight with John at Harris Air for a Float plane tour. It was a beautiful day for a ride in the Beaver. He headed out and went over Nakwasina Sound where we could check out our crab pots. We headed through the pass and landed on Rosenberg Lake. Spent some time exploring the area before taking off again. John showed us some beautiful sites along our route back to town. I had no idea we had glaciers on our island. What a treat to see. He took us past the highest peak which was spectacular. To be able to see the Ocean past the mountain ranges was awesome! You don't realize how many lakes are around until you see our Island from an Airplane! Thanks John @ Harris Air for a wonderful and memorable tour of this place we love and call home!

Happy Birthday Dad! Love M&M
Off we go!
