BEGINNING OF HOLY WEEK

March 15, 2008 ~ Saturday
It's snowing and the sun is shining...spring is here...along with the robins AND bunnies. 13 or 14 bunnies in all, about 5-6 weeks old...and the 2 moms, and the 2 dads, and one about 8 weeks old. They are so much fun to watch, the little ones***we REALLY have to get a live-trap!!!
Wall-hangings...7 almost done here and three in a store downtown...and none sold. Am hoping tourists will really 'go for them' this summer, either here or in Talkeetna. And, I've started printing pictures for matting...
Holy Week ~ Jesus' passion, death and resurrection. Speading the gospel, the reason for being here...so when we die we will be with Christ forever! We also celebrate the Seder Passover...since our pastor first came five years ago. It brings into perspective the Jewish 'traditions', remembering the Passover of the angel in Egypt just before the exodus...those who put the blood of the lamb on the door-posts were passed-over by the angel of death...also symbolizing Jesus' blood shed for us. We have worship after the Seder on Maundy Thursday...Tenebrae service on Good Friday...a prayer vigil from then until 6:30am Easter when we celebrate Sonrise service. An awesome time for reflection, for repentance, for forgiveness, for celebration!
We are in the process...shopping ...of buying a computer, etc. and printer for the church. WE ARE GOING HI-TECH!!! Good thing...cuz we were still in the stone age when it came to technology...just hooked up to the net 3 weeks ago! Now we are practicing with powerpoint on the laptop since we have a sound/projection system installed (both donated)...also 3 weeks ago. And...guess who gets to use them the most...YEA!

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.
