New arrival !

Karin arrived safe and sound and even enjoyed the small airplane flight up the inside passage. We went over for dinner after Peggie got back from Whitehorse. She had the day off and needed some things. (primarily new fingernails) She saw three bears, for real. Two of them she thinks were Blaze and Cindy, but they didn't stick around and introduce themselves.
Dinner was our newest invention called "What's-in-the-pot." It is never the same as before, but it is always good. You start with ground beef or chicken, then add rice or pasta (any kind) then get creative. The neat thing is the leftovers can be stretched into a completely different meal by adding beans or corn or tomatoes or onions or potatoes or what ever wasn't in the pot the first time. What's-in-the-pot is a good one-pan dinner to use what you have in the pantry. You serve it with whatever bread you have and finish it off with a turnover or cinnamon roll from the bakery.
Karin has discovered the grocery and hardware stores and made necessary changes in the trailer. She found some things Don had 'misplaced' (he blamed it all on Claudia helping him put things away) and saved her cat from the starvation diet Don had been providing. She is now our best hope for getting a blog entry from Don.
The customs agent went over Peggie's purchases with a fine-toothed comb to be sure she didn't bring in any forbidden fruit. Really, fruit not grown in Canada or U.S. is forbidden. It has to have the little sticker.
Don's job is about to get easier. All of his drivers have arrived and started work. The bad news is that he won't be seeing bears or getting tips now that he doesn't have to drive.
Now I have to get dressed and go to work. The problem is what to wear. The heat wave starts today. Predictions are temps in the 80's this week!!!!
