A Surgical
Summer
First of all, I had to wait until all
the fish came, so I
could can fish. I had to cut
chums first because there were a lot of them. I
made regular dry fish and some
half-dried ones for winter. After they dried I put them away in
buckets and then started making strips out of king salmon. These took
longer to dry because I
wanted to most of the oil to drip
from these before I
put them away. AsI cut
fish I watched a whole bunch of kids swim in the river.
Then after I was done with fishing
Carmen and I had to go into Anchorage for ear surgery. When we went
over we had to stay with my sister, Francine. She drove us back and
forth for our surgery appointments, and she was there watching while
they were cutting my ear. I have a tape of how it all went. We came
home after two days of surgery.
It was still nice and hot out so we
went over to the sand bar a couple of times. There we watched a whole
bunch of kids swimming.
Then berry picking season came and we
went up to Wilson to pick blue berries. But there were hardly any
there, so we went up to Willow Creek, and there we found a lot. When
you go picking with your family you can fill your buckets fast, and
my family and I picked over 6 gallons of blue berries!
Just the other day I learned how to
can salmon. I went up to my sister-in-laws and she and her husband
showed me and my husband how to do it. The timing has to be just
right and the heat has to be just right. After the cooling time is up
you wait for the pressure to go down to 0. Then 10 minutes later you
can open the preassure cooker up and very carefully take the jars out
because it's very hot. Then put them on a cloth to cool off and wait
until you hear a little pop from the jars and that means they are
good and sealed.
Now all I have to do is wait for the
black berries. Probably the first of next month they will be ripe.
And that'll be my summer.
