Circle Alaska: 2014

Here I was traveling to Circle, we were invited back even though we had sent Ann back. We knew the Village Council understood we did all we could for Ann, but does Ann' family have hard feelings toward us. To say the least, I was very worried as we arrived in Circle.
From the very first person I found how much we are loved by our Gwich'in family. We doubled the number of gardens and the size of each garden. We will be more specific about the wonderful summer in Circle, along with photos. I could not believe it when the day came to leave for Fairbanks. We planned a carpentry service project in Fairbanks incase we were not welcome in Circle because of Ann. Now I just didn't want to leave. In fact the council was upset we were leaving because there would be misunderstandings as how the gardens would be finished and food handed out. They understood why we did this but asked us to stay the whole three months in 2015. We agreed and now are making plans to expand to what will be our biggest effort in the past eight years. I can't wait to return to Circle in the spring. We will share much more as to what a wonderful time we had in Circle.
