May 24 - Alaska and New Stanton, Pennsylvania

Anchorage International Airport.

Rose and my mom with the Kodiak bear

Russian Orthodox Church in Ninilchik, AK.

Jenn, Abby and my mom in Homer, AK.

1.5 hour drive from our Alaskan home.

My mom and Abby at Captain Patties in Homer.

My mom treated us to a great lunch. 

My mom gifted her embroidery machine to Abby

and they were figuring it out together.

Rose painted this dog Winter with her 

friend Bailey.

Patty and Greg treated us to a lovely lunch. 

They recently returned from a one year lower 48

RV trip and we attend the same church. 

They are happy to be home 

and we look forward to our return although 

Ken could be on the road longer.

It was a great visit.

Maisie and Rose had a play date.

Rose and Teslan enjoyed jumping

on the trampoline.

Abby led Rose in a slime making activity.

Jenn and girls.

We will be back in Alaska soon - 

roughly 2 months.

It was great seeing friends again. 

Here are a few of the friends I saw.

Sorry I didn’t get pictures with everyone.

Rhonda with this amazing cross stitch 

that she did. It is currently on display

at Mel’s.

My dad and Uncle Greg. We enjoyed dinner

at Le Camper and celebrated Uncle Greg’s

birthday. 

My dad’s game room is always fun and

no coins needed as he rigged them. 

Growing up I spent hours playing pinball games.

Rose was impressed with my skills.

Rose and Bailey hanging out with dogs. 

Bailey’s mom is a vet so they stopped at her office.

It was a great week celebrating Abby’s graduation and showing my mom a bit of Alaska. And being beyond tired from the red eye flight back to Pennsylvania.

Alaska was great for also reuniting with friends and enjoying 55 degree temperatures. Balmy. Ken wasn’t sure if Rose and I were going to return to the camper but we did as we have more friends and family to see. I think the remaining 2 ish months will fly by. I also need to figure out our itinerary as we have no reservations for roughly 40 out of the next 60 nights.

Where next? We will be in Pennsylvania until May 31st and then head up to the New England states. My niece is graduating from high school in New Hampshire and we are planning to attend the ceremony. After that we will basically be heading back to Alaska, or so I think. 

Thank you for the prayers for our safety and health. I would also appreciate prayers for my dad for strength and energy. And for Patty and Greg and Pastor Milt and all of the great things happening at Birch Ridge Community Church in Soldotna. 

Bonus: If you want a good story ask Ken about the woman who thought he was her husband.
