The Alaskan Summer is upon us, and the town of Dillingham is astir with activity. The population here doubles during the fishing season, and the airport is busy with both commercial and sport fishermen. People come from all over the world to fish here because, as I'm told, the Bristol Bay area has the [...]
Spring has finally sprung here in Alaska! I've been starting a lot of my newsletters with the weather, but it is a marvel to me how different the weather is here. Really, everything is so different here. So much so that many people say it's like living in a different country. I agree with [...]
The snow is mainly gone in our yard! We are excited for the spring! The community is anticipating warmer weather and, particularly, the fishing season.

We have been swamped lately with family, church activities, and homeschooling. We are helping our church plan a camping trip for the Pathfinders and Adventurers [...]
Hello friends and family. We have been living in the beautiful state of Alaska for one month. Dillingham is definitely a very peaceful and small fishing town. Everybody knows each other, and everyone we have met has been very friendly and willing to help us or give us advice. Continue reading Alaska Report 9.25 [...]
