HOME FROM ALASKA!

Hi Everyone-
We've been back from our cruise for a few days now so I thought I would report in. Dallas and I had a wonderful time although I am afraid to step on the scale - I ate so much I thought Dallas would have to roll me off the ship! We enjoyed kicking around Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway and ended up in Seward. Dallas would have loved spending a day in Seward because it was a very active fishing community - the Big Guy would have interviewed every boat coming and going if he could have. The scenery was magnificent through Glacier Bay and the College Fjord so we'll bore you senseless with our photos if you stop by the house!
One of the highlights of our trip was meeting some other Stobers from Charleston. We don't hear our surname that often and to meet potential relatives from the U.S. was interesting. Bob and Brenda have done more research on the clan so we're still having fun trying to connect the dots.
Now that we're back home we've been busy catching up with household chores and gardening jobs. Dallas is feeling well and his energy levels seem to be at an all time high - he constantly runs circles around me! Enjoy your summer! More later...
Love,
Patty & Dallas

Hey you two......glad you had a wonderful trip. We have booked the same trip for August next year. Maybe we will see you down at island view beach this weekend?

Sounds like a nice trip . Too bad you couldn't have snared one of those " King Salmon " as the Americans call them. Take it easy in the yard , you don't want to strain any fishin' muscles.

News from the Charlie Osterloh Sr. Mens Golf Tourney, if you havn't heard, Harry shot a 61 from the blues on day 1. A mere 71 the second day still won him the low gross prize. Without Chopper there , he ran away with it.

Tight lines and heavy sinkers !

Wow a 61 I don't think chopper would have made a difference. Fishing is slow but daughter-in-law Heather caught a 15lb ling cod yesterday.
