It has been awhile since I have blogged, as I am navigating my next blogging route. This year was the first year I was able to participate in Fur Rondy activities, due to my living in rural Alaska for the past fives years.
Before heading to the carnival for the good ol' ferris wheel ride, I was grabbing brunch with a friend (whom is also a teacher) and her son. In the booth behind us, I could hear a man and woman talking... I caught that they were educators, and I also heard them talking about Alaska Native culture. Of course, my ears perked up and I found myself unable to focus on my friend. If you have been following my blog, you know this was not because I was bothered by the other table, but because I was intrigued. It didn't take long before I turned to offer some input on a topic they were discussing... lol.
Then, the guy says, "Wait a minute. You're Misty. Misty Nelson." Turns out, he has been following my blog for some time. We soon found out that the folks at the other booth are teachers in Bethel. They left a bit before us, and when it was time for my friend and I to pay our tab... we were gratefully surprised that the Bethel teachers had taken care of part of our brunch.
So, this is my shout out to you both. Sorry I did not get your names, but THANK YOU! You spread a little extra sunshine on our already sunshiny day. Keep doing what you do, and thank you for following my blog <3.
