I had the strangest experience. I hardly remember dreams any more, but I had a really weird one, and noone I knew was in it. I was with some people and we were all introducing ourselves, and a woman who was very dictatorial and scary was there, and then the next day I was going up the stairs to start a new job on my first job. I don't remember much else, and what it was I was doing. I think after nearly 20 years in Alaska, I caught a halibut, a small one, which I should not eat. It was about 10 pounds, and we did not catch yesterday during our trip, but Sandy's son did catch two halibut with his wife and brother and youngest children. It was exciting today, and during our four and a half hour trip, Sandy, my "lion-hearted" husband caught a bigger one about 20 pounds, good work for both of us. It was like glass on the water, and I wish we had taken pictures, and both of us are blind, of course. I also caught a pretty good-sized cod and someone else did also, maybe Sandy's grandson. Sandy's other son is taking care of three young girls, and the eldest called me "grandma" and I did not recognize that, since my own son had no children, not yet, anyway. Koraling Lynne We'll go back tomorrow. Here with the computer plugged in in the central lodge, there is a television, snacks, showers, and bathrooms. Wireless works at the picnic table outside and in the motor home, but is spotty but here plugged in much better access and all. Koraling Lynne

I just met Mimi and Sam, who live in Pennsylvania and were taking me to the restroom and back and both teachers or husband worked with special education in the state of Pennsylvania. They were driving with another couple in an RV to Anchorage and have been to Alaska 7 years ago. They are getting tired of the RV. I shared my blog, but for the first time had not brought my business cards. It occurred to me in the bathroom thta I may be one of the only or the first blind Jewish women in Alaska, and not only that only a few of us are conginitally blind. When I first moved here, Pat meek said there were only 10 people with retinopathy of prematurity who live here. Hmm. Not sure how many there are now with congenital blindness. Many are blinded later through disease, accident or other condition. Some are blinded thorugh retinal blastoma, and some through drugs or even alcoholism. I had never thought about the issues of being Jewish, blind and very few of us with retinopathy of prematurity etc. I should write an article for the Anchorage Daily News about that. I'm not the only Jewish disabled woman who lived here, but a totally blind Jewish woman with prematurity and a twin I think I am an anomaly. Koraling Lynne

It's after 11:00, and I agot through everything in my forum for the retreat at the end of June, and downloading a meditation mix. I had burger, caribou hot dogs and peppermint tea, water and corn on the cob! Yum. Koraling Lynne
