Merry Christmas To All Our Loved Ones

Christmas in Alaska is certainly going to be a different experience for us. It is beautiful here, with the mountains on three sides and the ocean on the other. Every time we go down to the post office we get a chance to look at the ocean, and everyday we look out at the snow covered mountains. While Seward is a quiet little town in the winter, it is certainly conducive to healing, which is the main reason we headed for Alaska in the first place.
We do miss our friends and family however, especially during this holiday season. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and know that while our bodies may be here, our spirits are with all of you this holiday season.
We saw a huge moose in the street, Lisa thought it was a horse at first, but since it was on the street, we got close enough to see that it WAS NOT a horse!
We will most likely be closing the ebay store in January, and only do auctions on Ebay. However, our own website store will still be available. If you want to go to either place just click on the blue links.
Thanks again Jackie, you are the best friend! It is a rare person indeed who spends so much time and effort on other people, rather than themselves. We are lucky that you and David are our friends.

The Wind is a Howling tonight


The wind is howling tonight! It is raging so hard that it knocked my stain glass right out of the window it was sitting against. We had cracked open that window to let in some air, and to clear out the apt of smoke, as our upstairs neighbors complained that the smoke was going up the vent in the kitchen. Usually, with the windows open, we can hear the snow crackling like little twinkling lights, but tonight all we hear is that howling. Sounds kinda cool.
Lisa has her doctor's appointment with the orthopedic doctor tomorrow, early, and yet here it is 4:00 a.m. and we are both still awake.
Thanks to Jackie for our care package...the little xmas tree and decorations really made our day, as we gave all our xmas decorations to the Battered Women's shelter before we left. While it doesn't bother Lisa to not decorate for xmas, it bothers me. Christmas time is the best time of year, and I miss my tree and decorations. So, thanks very much Jackie.
UPS delivered right to our door. The mailman does not deliver mail to anywhere in Seward, so everyone has to pick up their mail at the post office. It was a real treat to have it delivered straight to our door.
I am posting a pic of our chakra ring, which comes with the seven stones for the seven chakras. It can be made in either gold or silver, and we do have the stones to make this same ring into a mother's ring, with the children's birthstones. You can see it in more detail at our ebay store .
You can also see it our own website.
We love you all and miss you terribly. Lisa is especially having a hard time because she has stay off her leg, and feels guilty because she is not supposed to do anything. So, everyone, send her lots of love by emailing her and letting her know you care.
