THE ADVENTURES OF A SENIOR MISSIONARY COUPLE IN ALASKA

This page is to update our activities for our children and grandchildren while we are in Alaska. If you happen onto this page and you don't fall in into the above category -- go ahead and snoop. You might even want to check out Mormon.Org and lds.org to find out what we are doing in Alaska.

LONG OVERDUE UPDATE ------

A few weeks ago, I drove down Strawberry Road from the mission office to go to the bank to make a deposit. I happened upon three grotesque monsters along side of the road that were pretending to be pumpkins.The pumpkins (as it turns out) were entered at the Alaska State Fair and the biggest, "Bubba", won the grand prize. (It's amazing what the right seed, a ton of manure, and a 24 hour long growing day will do!) Anywho -- enjoy the big Alaskan pumpkins.


This is the big one -- Bubba

Bubba, again.

Bubba, from the side. See what I mean about grotesque?
Bubba's weight. Now that is one big pumpkin!

That is the middle sized pumpkin. 786 lbs. That's a lot of pie!
