Getting Together With Family

Wednesday started out with laundry – a necessary task to be done at the Laundromat.  We had a ton to do so it is nice to get a bunch of machines going and get it done quickly.  Also, we tend to meet other travelers and share experiences which makes the time there go faster.

We tried to find a coffee shop with wi-fi without any luck.  So we packed up the Chocolate Éclair ring and the Butterscotch bars and went out to Paige’s cousin Bill’s house.  Bill has wi-fi which helped us out.

Uncle Phil and Elsie brought about 20 pounds of King Crab legs for a wonderful dinner at Bill’s.  Again, Paige hadn’t seen Bill in over 40 years so it was great to reconnect.  We got to meet his wife Pam who we had heard so much about and her mother who has an apartment above the garage.  They hosted a delicious dinner at their great house!  Uncle Jon, Jackie, and cousin Dawn also came so there was a lot of catching up do to.  And, of course, cribbage to be played!!

Bill’s house started as a cabin on a hill overlooking the Kenai River.  For the past 11 years they have lived in this cabin that is now a very beautiful and cozy home.  Pam loves to garden and the results are beautiful beds of wildflowers and potted plants.

This is a view from one of their balconies.

Here are Jon, Bill, and Phil kicking back.

It was a great day!
