Irene hardly got to do anything, she said. She only stayed home, went to church and stayed at fish camp. She went to fish amp with her husband Vernon, Tern and her two girls. At fishcamp she watched everybody catch fish while she caught bugs. She also took some rides with Vernon. She likes it here in Marshall better than at fish camp because it is warmer here. While she was here she either stayed home or went to church. She doesn't like to stay home at all but she has to because of the body aches on one side of her body an because her legs and eyes are bum so much. She does listen to the doctor though when he tells her to do something. When she's at home she watches T.V., does the dishes, (although she has to be careful not to cut her hands), sings Eskimo songs, and tries to cook even though they tell her not to. She really wanted to cut fish this summer but she can't see very well so she didn't. She said, "No good being old, but I love to watch people go back and forth." She would really love to instruct kids in how to Eskimo dance more, but the pain stops her. Irene said to me, "Right now when I'm looking at you, you are just black, but the white things I see are white. When you speak to me you have to speak loud so I can hear!" Well it seems that in some ways Irene sort of enjoyed her summer. I hope she has more and better ones coming up! By: Irene Evan | |
