HAPPY~BLESSED~NEW YEAR!!!

Monday ~ December 31, 2007
And the old year is done...with all it's blessings, both the awesome moments, which we all need, that make us realize God is giving us more than we ever deserved...and the heartaches, which we all need, that God has let happen to make us stronger in our faith to fully trust in Him.
Our daughter is still here, leaving on Wednesday, I'm sure after riding the 4 wheeler for the hundredth time. This is the one who had her hair shaved for an 11 year old girl who has bone cancer...hair looks pretty good short...probably an inch long now, to be worn *mohawk-style...or...spiky...or...*. Kennedy has a web-site... www.caringbridge.org/visit/kennedy1
a beautiful young girl with a wonderful mom and siblings who are awesome witnesses...their faith has not wavered in their stuggle with this horrible disease and they are calling the new year *A YEAR OF MIRACLES*.
This year...not my resolutions...but my absolute intentions: swimming every day for at least an hour and a half...loosing weight...organizing myself and my home...beginning each day walking with my Father who will lead me according to His will.

Decluttering is one of my goals for 2008 - I call it de-Martha-cizing because we moved John's 89 year old aunt Marha from Townsend, MT to Bismarck in Oct and she had so much "stuff." She still had bouquets of fake fur flowers. I de-Martha-cized my bathroom a couple weeks ago and it felt so goooooooooooood!; January 1, 2008 at 12:11 AM
Chrysa said...: OK...now you've made me even more frantic to get rid of all my 'fake fur flowers'! Jack likes his tho so it's a no-go there.

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.
