Smoked Salmon

Have to brag a moment about my talented boyfriend. When it comes to Smoking Salmon, no one has him beat. Check out his Salmon fillets from the smoke house: (yum!)

Whales

Hi all - just a few quick updates for today.

First, A few days ago, we got a pod of killer whales to come right by the dock, I ran outside right away to get a photo or two, so here they are:

It's been awhile

July 1, 2010

Sorry that it's been so long since my last post. Guess there's just nothing new to tell. Even the weather hasn't changed....it's still cold and it's still raining! The lodge has been busy which keeps me going all day long, and today we completely fill up the lodge, so that should be hectic, but fun.

I guess I do have one thing that is exciting, and I hope by posting I don't jinx it, but Dewey has caught the biggest King Salmon so far - 31.3 lbs. The contest is between most of the guides here at the lodge and there is an $1100.00 pot for the winner. Needless to say, he's been getting up early every morning to go out fishing to see if he can get something bigger and keep the lead. LOL! This Sat. I might get the day off, and I want to try and go fishing with him. After all, two lines in the water is better than 1!

My last thought today goes to Dad and his fellow members of the 734th Agri-Business Dev elopement Team (Iowa National Guard) who had their deployment send-off in Des Moines this morning.

Love you Dad - I'm proud of you!

Fishing Follow-up

June 19, 2010

Just in case you are wondering how I'm doing today - I have a jammed finger from my big fishing adventure yesterday and will now have to call in a recruit for today's office work, as I can't type.
Bummer. (Oh, ironically, the sun is out and there are hardly any clouds in the sky. Seems like a great day to sit on the dock and work on my Alaska tan.)

Later - Sharon
