Peculiar things about this peculiar place

SCHOOL: the hub of events

Bingo for books was the January event the teachers put on for the community. Free books lined the tables and floor around the lunch room to be won while Jack served ice cream cones.

Jack, the coach, and athletic director.

Zax got picked for a free cup, lol!

And his prefect attendance slush puppy ticket.

INDOOR HOBBIES
Wearing moosey socks on moosey Monday

I knit and Jack sews.

Jack did an awesome job with their hats!

Playtime!

Play date with Emma, a teacher's daughter.

This was at 11:50am. I was heading into the post office and saw the sun rising over the frozen ocean.

Different day, same time, view from the counselors office. Our cellphone service stopped working after Christmas for no reason so I was there getting ready to teach my relief society lesson on the school landline. We use gmail to call for the other meetings to listen to at home.

THE FOOD

The village store inconsistently has fruit, sometimes it has already gone bad, and it's expensive. This batch was $35. When it is in I am grateful.

Whale chili. The meat on its own was hard to eat, so Jack made it into a chorizo sausage and it was great in our chili.

Fresh crab, still alive!

Trying to escape

Ila swiped Jack's shake at school.  We're staying healthy with Isagenix shakes now.  My sister introduced me to the company and now I'm hooked and glad they ship here!

The sister missionaries are over the bush branch and scheduled this FaceTime session to get to know us!  In our branch it's expected to never meet the fellow members since it spans across the entire state, anywhere rural. The sisters teach lessons on skype and email with members and their friends.

Crew just turned 7 months old. Toothless, hairless, but lots of smiles and love.
