HHHHOTTT!!!

June 30, 2008 ~ Monday
...as in 96 degrees, but cooling nicely this evening WHILE I BAKE COOKIES...which I never do, but thought I'd be a grandma since we're headed down to see family and friends...AND GO CAMPING! Yes, camping...with our oldest son and his family, some of their friends and maybe, just maybe, our youngest son and his family might show up...and maybe, just maybe, the friends who went to Alaska with us last year might show up...
HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY, AMERICA! What a country to live in...to be able to go anywhere we want...see anyone we want...eat anything we want...buy mostly what we want or need...worship the way we want. God is so good to us...and we appreciate Him by taking His name away from governmnet, schools, homes...how sad is that, yet how full of grace He is! To God be the glory!

The Parson's Wife said...: Goodness! What a rollercoaster weather month! I really prefer the snow, but know how much you love the summer and your beautiful flowers, and er, hmmm, those incredible cookouts that you and Jack enjoy! I continue to read your blog, and miss the AK trip notes this year. How we miss you and majestic Montana! God Bless you and yours! Shawn <><

btw, thanks for the Sola comment on my blog, I am so thankful that my dh is a faithful-to-the-Word pastor, as was your dad!; July 9, 2008 at 1:17 PM

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.
