Simeon's Steaming Summer by Simeon Sergie:Simeon's Steaming Summer
Simeon Sergie is 63, and he says that he had a great summer. His summer started off with commercial fishing. For the past two or three years he had a hard time finding somebody to help him fish, but this year my brother helped him. Before they went fishing they went to the store to buy some "grub." They also made some coffee so they could have some caffeine in them to keep them awake when they fished during the long hours. This year my dad didn't do very well fishing but he made enough money to buy us some new furniture for our house. One of the things my dad would do almost everyday after working hard was take a steam. He would also invite his buddie's so he wouldn't be lonesome while taking a steam. Another thing he did was travel to St. Mary's for shopping. He went down with my brother Vassily and his wife for almost a day and then came back in the evening with a bunch of stuff. He also traveled to other villages probably to get away from us for a while. But once he went over to Kwethluk to check on my auntie Olinka Nicholia because she was very sick and needed someone to stay with her. My dad and my cousins finally found an old folks home in Anchorage for her so they wouldn't have to worry too much about her anymore. My dad says that his summer went by very fast because he kept so busy. By: Simeon Sergie  | |
