Besides always catching at least one big northern pike, my mom taught all her grandkids to fish off the dock at home. Many good meals of pan fish in cornmeal.

I have lots packed away and wonder if I should keep it or not, much has gone away too. What adventurers your parents were and their influence I've seen through your blog has transferred to you. I used to like soft light, but my old eyes need brighter lights now.<br /><br />Last night our electricity went out unexpectedly and Gary and I found ourselves wondering what it must have been like before electricity, living by candlelight. We had a solar light outside and Gary thought to bring it inside, where it issued a soft tone on the lanai much like moonlight. We sat for a time letting the relaxing mood and breeze flow in.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-63564672903270463672011-04-16T22:01:30.834-05:002011-04-16T22:01:30.834-05:00Thank you, Manzanita, I love remembering my parent...Thank you, Manzanita, I love remembering my parents, the people they were.

I know what you mean about soft light. My husband is a "turn off every light in the house and watch TV" type, I'm always turning on lamps.

Buddy is a nice addition to my evenings and my days. Last night, not so much. Post vet visit and teh P & P went awry. ;(<br /><br />Murr, So glad to get an update on Kotzebue! <br />I go antiquing once in awhile. Now I have something to look for. That map! I love it when I discover someone whose past mingles with mine in some obscure and very cool way. Awesome (I can't believe I've used the word awesome twice and in one week). And I Can't wait to find that map. There are stores in the area that carry many from that era. Now I've used antique and era in describing our past.

I too seek out dim light, and your cave comment got me wondering if it was because I was chemically coaxed out of the womb two weeks early. Then, Kotzebue, still a fishing village, the home of my new niece, who is producing our first great-nephew. We hope to see Alaska some day. And Theo.Roosevelt Natl Park, where I fed prairie dogs by hand and got myself photographed on the 75th Centennial North Dakota map (1963?); and I too was just out of college in 1974.
