Sharon and Joy headed out to run a few errands and pick up some rhubarb. When we first arrived in Homer they had met a local resident at the look out and were talking about some of the local vegetables that are grown in the area. Sharon expressed her love for rhubarb. The kind lady invited them over to harvest some from her garden. So that’s precisely what they did.
The gals decided that we would have some of the
salmon we had caught earlier in the week and rhubarb pie for dinner. Don and Joy’s son Bobby, not only an airline
captain but a great cook, prepared the salmon to perfection. The rhubarb pie
was really good, too.
We did not get many pictures that day. The pictures
that we have included are a continuation from our trip over to Halibut Cove. We
have so many great photo shots it has been very difficult to select which ones
to use in the blog.
We will depart Homer a few days earlier than we have
initially planned for so we can show Bobby more of Alaska. Our next major stop
will be Valdez. We will halibut fish in the am tomorrow and have plans to go to
a restaurant that evening that will cook our catch. Maybe that’s wishful thinking
but this is “the Halibut Capital of the World” and we expect for it to live up
to its reputation.
You do not always have control of the cards you are
dealt in life so as Kenny Rogers once sang, “You gotta know when to hold ‘em, know
when to fold ‘em”. Draw upon your life’s experiences to guide you thru the
troubled waters. Thought for the day!
“Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want”
