We had a nice relaxing day today. On a sad note we had our first broken items today in box #17. Two of our platters broke and in a broken box Erin lost a shoe, just one. Luckily we have insurance and should be able to get reimbursed. We now have some furniture so we don't have to sit on boxes anymore, Yea! The T.V. came in the mail just in time for the Olympics' opening ceremonies, and we have enjoyed watching the games. Erin and I took a self tour of the school on the 8th and found our classrooms (Erin's classroom is newer and nicer than mine and she has fun reminding me of that). The school is in great shape and we are getting more and more excited.
We got this email from our principal yesterday and thought it says alot about the community:
Greetings. I am looking to purchase a dried walrus stomach for an Inupiat drum.
Thank you.

Can't help you out on the walrus stomach...but I will keep my eyes open! We enjoyed an awesome Minnesota lake day yesterday. Today most everyone ships out to get back to their busy lives! We too have enjoyed the Olympics and were busy googling countries and people to learn more. Hope that all goes well...take care.

That explains a lot. I always wondered how that "one shoe" ends up on the road. Sorry about your platters but kind of amazing that the television made it in one piece. Your blog is very fun to read. Looking forward to hearing about the school kids. Gotta go to church, love you...mom Gus
At least he wants it for a drum and not to eat!
We had fun on the water yesterday, Kay, Adam, L and I took the canoe out and tipped it on purpose and played. Hadn't done that in years and had fun. Did you buy the car yet? mom
Hi from Andrew's Dad's cousin Pam in Ohio! I am really enjoying your blog as well as a Website about Nome that Andrew's Dad sent me. I am totally impressed with your Nome adventure, and am absolutely sure it will be a highlight of you lives. Best wishes for the exciting, educational times ahead!
