TO WASILLA/PALMER

July 21 ~ Saturday ~ sunny to partly cloudy.
Today is...Wasilla for~laundry, grocery shopping, replenishing the camper water AND dumping what we've used (6 days is pushing it a little, but we made it) and Palmer...to stay in 'our' place at Jeff's and Janell's.
Kinda upset with FM...one 'picture person' told me that the machine will make the 19 cent each digital prints and THEN when I was done with selecting and editing, etc. another person told me that the machine is broken and they can only make CD's...all that time wasted! Really wanted several of the pictures to use as postcards to send before we head back to Talkeetna tomorrow.
And...another peeve. My Verizon cell phone will not let me retrieve my voicemail. An Alaska company, ACS, gets on there and gives me messages...and then says my 'pin' number is not valid. What's with that!
Had a good visit with J/J and watched a movie with them...and now I 'get to' go thru all my e-mail before going to bed...IF I make it that long.

Talkeetna purchase

We bought land about 15 miles SW of Talkeetna, Alaska...on e-bay...sight unseen! in 2006. I probably wouldn't recommend doing that for everyone, but we were blessed it was legal...and now have good neighbors in the north, too. In fact, one of our neighbors built a 250 foot road with a turn-around into our place and we could stay on our land part of the summer. Of course, then there was the flood with the washing out of the only good road leading to Malispina Loop, so had to wait to start back to MT for a few days until that was repaired and we could retrieve our cargo trailer, since we had left it on our land while down on the Kenai.

Welcome to the travels of John and Chrysa

We leave on June 6th so are in the process of thinking about getting ready. Actually, I've had stacks here and there all winter, but don't know if that'll save me time or not. I have washed and waxed the fronts of the camper (slide-in with tip-out) and under the overhead so all the bugs we hit can have a spot now. It was fairly crowded before starting...but I always use 'Black streak remover'~ if you haven't tried it, do...it's awesome! I'm going to give getting pictures on here a whirl in the near future...just hoping it's nearer (didn't have problems) than farther (had problems) away.
