    I so appreciate your comment about being respectful and kind to the people who live in remote villages and cities you have visited. You and Jessica are always kind , polite, and respectful when you travel as are your children. As I have said before love how you lead by example :) Best Wishes.

    That is the only thing that would make me nervous Bert. There were places where you still have no phone service or internet. Even the Village phones have limits. Normally, there were always the pay phone which i'm sure are long gone. Its still beautiful to see even so its still so isolated in parts of Alaska. Hope your Alaskan 'field trip' was as fun as it was to watch!

    Always a joy to watch the vlogs. Have a safe and productive trip. It is always nice to see the mini trips for your work and I am happy to see you continuing to work with the business even after having sold it. Whatever happens in the future will happen with God's guidance at all times. His blessings I am sure will continue to be with you. Miss Jessica that garden looks amazing. Prices are out of control everywhere. I really feel bad for the remote areas of your atate. I realize transportation costs add a lot but still. I myself am thankful for Aldi's and another discount store in my city. I try to be very frugal especially with prices so high. I was scared to see what fuel costs up in your area. Regular unleaded in my city is $5.29 a gallon and diesel is just over $6 a gallon. It is what it is and God willing things will settle down soon. Respect goes a long way. Treat others with the same respect you expect them to treat you with. That's what I was taught. May God bless all of the fire fighters battling the blazes throughout your state. Would love to see you do a collaboration with your sister in law. Whoohoo. Looking forward to another clothing launch. Don't worry about not picking up the camera Jessica. Even you have to have a day where you concentrate on things other than a vlog.

    My husband had a job in Hoonah in 1979. It’s on Chigagoff Island in SE Alaska. Population 1000. Air and ferry to Juneau. Klingon/Hida Native American village. My boys were in the first and third grade at the time. They loved it. All supplies were flown or shipped in from Seattle ( we were from the Seattle area). As Bert said, it’s like you have been thrown back in time a 100 years. Great experience. Now smaller cruise ships go their…. it’s known as Icy Straits Point. We did take our boys and their families back on a cruise in 2011.

    I noticed that you didn't mention "town". In Louisiana ... we have cities, towns and villages. Residents may incorporate if the area meets minimum population thresholds. Classified based on population into three classes: cities, towns, and villages. Those having five thousand inhabitants or more are classified as cities; those having less than five thousand but more than one thousand inhabitants are classified as towns; and those having one thousand or fewer inhabitants are classified as villages. Municipalities are granted powers to perform functions required by local governments including the levy and collection of taxes and to assume indebtedness.

    I always think that you guys live in a pretty rural area - but seeing Aniak got me thinking about where I live in London. On my street we have over 200 houses with each having between 1 and 5 bedrooms so realistically we may have the same number of people living in a small area as the village has for it's entire population. Mind boggling in comparison - we are squashed together like sardines in a can!

    I had a job interview today, and it's one of those "looks amazing on paper, but not necessarily in reality" Several red flags. They seem to really want me, which is concerning because I didn't do that well, and don't have a lot of relevant experience. I'm literally scared, but I'm afraid to turn it down. I have another one tomorrow, which would probably be a better fit, but it's too far away unless they offer amazing pay and benefits, and one next week for super part-time. This is more stressful than I thought it would be.
