Me and My Big Mouth






So apparently, Mt Redoubt was just taking a break. I jinxed it and it let loose the very next morning with an even BIGGER plume than before. And Ash was headed this way! Again by God's grace, the ash diverted before it fell upon us. YAY!

A PenAir pilot, Robert Cole got some awesome photos today. Posted








Also posted is pictures from a satellite over Asia that captured the 65,000 ft plume from it's orbit and a pic
showing the ash plume cycling into the airstream. Both from Jonathan Dehn at the National Weather Service (satellite). All very cool and wish I could take credit for all.
For more pictures, go to avo.alaska.edu and click on Redoubt current images.

AntiClimatic As It Is...

3 days and 7 eruptions later, Mt Redoubt has already been downgraded to ORANGE. Boring! By God's grace though, the wind completely kept the ash away-yay! - no visual STILL on anything to do with the volcano. Cloudy for all 3 days and now it's snowing....... Can't catch a photog break.

IT BLEW!

Of Course it blew at like 11 pm so I can't see it or photograph it. I have a great view from my front door and it's wasted:(

This is my first volcanic eruption at close quarters (60miles apprx). I'll keep you posted of any major developments.

FINALLY???

Mt Redoubt had recently been downgraded to code Yellow. Then today starts showing off heavy steam and a little ash. I'm really not happy about this now. With Jerry due back in 2 days, if she blows between now and Tuesday, all flights will be grounded. Nothing taking off and nothing allowed to land. Please pray she holds off for a bit longer.

Ladie's Retreat Weekend

Mom, Wendy Rebecca and I and Kindra and Rose (from Moose Pass) enjoyed good friends, great fellowship and lots of laughs, at Solid Rock.

We were blessed by a DVD series by Beth Moore. She is an awesome speaker, really gets to the heart of things and is truly passionate for the Lord. If you ever have opportunity to hear her- definately do it.

1st Annual AK Valentine's Party

Mark and Wendy announced on this day of celebrating love, that they would be sharing and spreading their love to an orphan girl in Ethiopia they began adoption paperwork for. They have our prayers, love and support, as they begin this adventure and we will welcome this addition wholeheartedly.

Anna invited some of her pals to the party.




It was a happy occassion.....

...not a sad or angry one.

Anna made sure Gramp's had his eyes.

A day to celebrate love-really.

Will It or Won't It?

This is the view we have from the front of our house. The tip of Redoubt is visible just above the tree line. Hopefully it will clear up before it dies to blow so I can get some get pix!







The "mountain" that is the head of my blog, that welcomes you each and everytime, is none other than the lately much talked about VOLCANO Mt Redoubt. It's roughly 50 miles away from where I live. Of course it's snowing and cloudy today so we can't see it even if it decides to blow today. :( makes me a little upset about a wasted picture opportunity.

A Business Vote

I am attempting to start a little in-home enterprise. I have been mulling for about a year now, doing a bookkeeping business for local small business owners. Alot of theses businesses are seasonal, and any freetime they have, they spend doing their invoicing, payables, receivables and payroll. Then they have no time to enjoy the fruits of their labors, and the short summer season gets away. I want to help them alleviate some of their workload. So hopefully this will take off with little to no advertising needed.

I have come up with a few names for this venture, complete with a poll on the side to vote.
Also welcome will be your ideas and suggestions. Please leave them in the comment section and I'll add them to a new poll against the winner of the existing poll.

Sound fun?
ok........
