7/21/07 - 5th Day in Wasilla

I worked on getting our Quarterly Reports out this morning....not a very fun job but one I wanted to get out of the way before the end of the month deadline. Since we don't have a sewer hook-up and our laundry was building up....it was off to the campground laundromat....was kinda pricey at $2.00 per wash load and $2.00 per dryer. Once that was done we headed to The Iditarod Headquarters in Wasilla. Stopped at Fred Meyer's to stock up on groceries since we aren't sure how long before we hit another good size grocery story. Boy groceries are high up here....hope the wages compensate for the costs! We took everything back and put it away and then Richard & Karen and us headed in our own jeeps for a little touring of the Mat-Su Valley area. We first wanted to run by and see if we might catch Roger Ball (our pastor) at his sister's place and then it was on towards Palmer. We saw some really pretty scenery, but once again no wildlife. When we asked Roger's sister where all the wildlife was she said there are too many people for them now....need to be here earlier or later in the season.
