December 28, 2008 ~ Sunday
It's quiet around here. We are back to just the three of us, but had a wonderful time when Tasha and Shad, Misty, Lyndy Mae and Sterling were here...visiting, shopping, eating...just enjoying each other. AND, we got dumped on a couple times with snow...and now...rain, so the roads and trails are again slushy and rutty. Really glad I have another week off of work...planning on doing laundry, making calls, cleaning, organizing...HAHAHAHAHA! I'll let you know if that all happens:-)
We had a catastrophy of sorts this last week. The parsonage water meter froze, burst and flooded the crawl space probably ruining the furnace and water heater. Water was almost up to the floor joists when discovered...a blessing because we had just put in new flooring through out the house. The insurance company is one of the calls to be made in the morning. Midway Rental...closed for Christmas weekend...opened for us and donated the pump and in the morning the city will be called to check things over.

The Parson's Wife said...: Shoot, that is just the pits, water everywhere in the middle of winter. And a new pastor on the way... this month right? How very exciting, I hope that everything gets put in order quickly! All of your hard work in cleaning and prepping... Praying for your "new" shepherd, and praying that St. Peter's loves the new family to bits.; December 29, 2008 at 9:31 AM

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.
