Out and About

Found a new store in town while hiking around with a friend. Its the variety-slash-Radio Shack store. Interesting combination of party favors, personal care things like soaps and shampoos, and Radio Shack electronics.






Keeping an eye on the whole thing is a huge buffalo head! Radio Shack at home's got nothing on this shop! I may have let out a little squeal when I rounded the isle. :)


Went to a yard sale at a house that overlooks the tundra. Was a drizzly day, but not too cold. Got some good buys too!!

Veggies!!!

Special Delivery

Way out here on the tundra, fresh veggies are not the easiest thing to get.....and never mind finding organic produce. So what's a veggie lover to do??

Full Circle Farms, located in Washington, has a CSA (community supported agriculture) program that ships to Bethel.....yes, way out here to Bethel! Each week (or every other week) you can order a box of farm fresh organic fruits and veggies and other items such as free range eggs. The boxes come in each Thursday on the afternoon flight and are brought to the Cultural Center to be picked up. I got my first box this week......what a treat!

Just a few of the items I ordered. The corn never stood a chance. I shared two ears with my neighbors and immediately cooked the other two, slathered them with butter and salt and shamelessly gnawed away till not a kernel was left on the cobb. Yeeeeuummyy!

Signs You Just Don't See Everywhere

Bethel is a very unique and interesting place. Even the signs are unique. Here's a few from around the hospital....

Apparently, ice cleats and hospital floors don't go together. I'll keep this in mind this winter.....not want to get nabbed by the ice cleat police!


Apparently, spit doesn't go with the hospital floors either. Good thing I wasn't planning on spitting.


Just in case any of you were looking for some fresh seal blubber....Fresh!!

I LOVE Bethel!! :)
