Derick Alicia and SP home! Bella with her Boy, Sunday Brunch with MamaWas, Today's Brunch, Parades, Fireworks, Bering Sea, Crab Adventures and Eagles!

First a Shot For CD; Derick and Bella Are safe at home! Now Relax and get back to your vacation!
We got a lot to get through today so you better get some food before we start. The Crepes above (Apple, Banana with raspberry and chocolate were divine)
The Salmon and Chicken were quite good too.



Maybe some Hummus and Pita?


And Of course dessert.

The Weather has been strange this week after the 4th. Cold, Windy, Rainy, then Sunny in spots before massive fog banks sweep in. All of Dutch Harbor was in this little pocket of Sun the other day for HOURS while in Unalaska the Fog was dense and cold. Life on the Aleutian Chain....

The island is still "Greening Up", but unlike last year at this time the snow has not melted yet on the furthest mountains.
Pleanty of people are still coming here though, There in the Harbor in Yellow and Black is the Shell Oil Icebreaker. Now if Obama would only stop taxing working people to pay for all those on the dole in his big cities were all the stimulus money was basically thrown down the drain to support welfare cases and actually get to work on PROVIDING AMERICAN ENERGY TO AMERICA............ Seriously, we could have been Drilling in a Tiny pinprick of Land in the Alaska Wildlife Preserve (Which is actually BIGGER than the entire area affected by the Gulf Oil Spill) and done it SAFELY, ON SOLID LAND!!! BUT NO, Obama and the Idiot Environmental Lobby Want all these Wells Way out at sea where they can not be seen from the Decks of Their Yachts and Private Compounds on the Beach (Yeah, that was a Kennedy Shot). Instead we keep buying Oil from countries that pollute the earth 1000X more than we do and that like to kill us and our soldiers. I am actually beginning to think that the Democrats and the Environmentalists are both Homicidal and Suicidal. Remember you cant's spell "Enviromental" without "Mental" We have the resources HERE! USE THEM while we move to cleaner forms of energy. Instead of shipping all that money to terrorists, reinvest it here in AMERICAN JOBS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS! All we need to get this country back on it's feet again is a resurgence in AMERICAN MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION. What is holding this Back? The Environmental Lobby, The EPA, and the crooked Organized Labor groups that brought Obama to power. America is the greatest country on Earth, and all we need to do to regain our place is to vote those crooks out of Power in November.



OK, Sorry for the Rant, Back to the Blog.

Back up at the Airport a VERY important flight was coming In.......
It Contained SP (Alena's son, Sharon's grandson)
And Derick and Alicia!
Lots of Happy Smiles and Hugs!

And those smiles continued at the Grocery Store when Alicia Caught up with friends there.

I just Had to Take Derick to the Grocery store since someone left no food at home for him.......

Then It was off to Pick up Bella!!!
"Mommy is in so much trouble when she gets home let me tell you!"

And it was supposed to be Roger's Mum's Last day here.........


But the Flights all got cancelled due to fog. (Probably Roger's Fault Somehow!) So My next round of Unisea Japan folks will spend another night in Anchorage and Kay will spend another night here........heck, she used to live here and is used to it!
So Over the Past week I have been showing off the island quite a bit to visitors....
.........From some of our honored Guests from the Japan branch of Unisea here at Memorial Park.....

And then on Mt Ballyhoo and Ulakta Head.


To Last Sunday Brunch with Kayla, and ...........

(Had to show her how to use the Crab Cracker)
Then it was on to the Fourth of July Parade
Some of my Housekeepers came along for the ride. Michael his wife Anna and Lydia there in the back.
AG and Family were there as well, all set up for maximum Parade action.

The Scouts started out the Parade.......

Followed by the Police and Fire Departments.

Say HI to Alaska Steve Everyone!!!

Next Came the Bicycles!

Candies are tossed out by the parade floats and everyone scrambles for the "Best" Candies.


There's a new Sheriff in town.........well actually it's the new Doctor, Greg Culver!
Doc, this is gonna be uncomfortable if you tell me to bend over and cough............
Then it was the Award Winning Unisea Float!!
Congratulation Sky, Fernando and all the other people who helped out!


Then it was the Unisea Freshmen!
The NSK Freshmen Program is a fourteen year UniSea tradition. Every Summer we welcome a select group of students from different Japanese Universities, usually the "best of the best in their classes" they stay in UniSea for about two weeks and live and work on the premises pretty much as the rest of our processors.
UniSea is one of the few places within the Nissui family that provides a comprehensive overview of the product process. At the end of their stay the freshmen share their thoughts and offer suggestions to improve the production processes. Some of their suggestions have been adopted by UniSea.

There is our good friend Jessica in Her brand new Painted truck!!


Then it is the Always Fabulous Girl Scouts!!

OH NO!!!! Dan and Alaska Steve are BOTH working for Fire/EMS Now as volunteers!

Then it was off on a trip up Overland Pass..........


So that Mike, Anna, Lydia and Mamawas could check out a different pespective of the island.....


.........and do one of my favorite things, just play in the clouds!

Then it was off to see in person the Fireworks that grace the front Cover of our visitors Guide.

Thankfully AG invited us to her fire as the temperature was dropping a bit......though it was not as cold and windy as last year.
The bonfires were just being lit as we got to the beach
PattyKins and Family were nearby.
And Lydia and Marissa came along as well!
AG had one of the most "popular" Bonfires because the kids think she is "cool"!

Midnight and there is still pink in the sky......gotta love Alaska!
