AT LAST A SUNNY DAY

Blue skies this morning were a welcome sight. It was still very windy but at least things will have a chance to dry out before it rains again. The weatherman says it will rain tomorrow. Anyway, as the saying goes, make hay while the sun shines, and so they did.

After a late start they decided to go down to walk on the beach at Cook Inlet in the gulf of Alaska. Before they got there they happened onto a sign for “Historic Cabins” that looked interesting. As soon as they approached the entry, the docent came out to greet them. She was extremely knowledgeable about Kenai history and proceeded to walk with them through the cabins. There were five cabins nearing 100 years in age that had been moved from their original sights. The historical society moved them to this park and restored them. They were staged  to represent different aspects of early Kenai life. Many artifacts were acquired by local residents to complete the cabins. The docent was able to relate the history of each of the cabins with antidotes of the residents daily lives. They were glad that they stopped there because they learned so much about Kenai history.


Later they did walk on the beach but it was so windy and cold that the adventure was short. Warren and Jim searched the beach for shells and agates while Kathy T tried unsuccessfully to fly her kite. My Kathe got a picture of the kite when it was airborne, but it was only just above Kathy T’s head. All of us were dressed like Eskimos but we were still freezing and the trip to the beach was very over very quickly.
