Welcome

This blog is for any of the friends, relatives or decedents of Egidio (James) and Felicetta (Fanny) Warino from Youngstown, Ohio. I hope we can use it as a tool to capture the memories of growing up in our family and the times we shared at Grandma's house on Truesdale Avenue.

Easter in Alaska

Happy Holy Easter to all. Hope all is well with you all. We are doing very well besides feeling our age set in. Ha ha ha. Sierra graduates the 8th grade in May, then off to high school. Where does the time go? When I was little I used to be excited about shopping for a dress and bonnet. Now we wear jeans and smell like fire during our service. Ha ha ha. ONLY IN ALASKA!!!

Our Easter Sunday starts at 8 a.m. We gather behind our church at the creek and wait for the sun to rise. (We are 12 year members of a non-denominational church) As our temperatures are in the upper 40's now, its still rather chilly in the morning, so we get a bon fire going also at the creek. We sing praise as the sun rises and hits the horizon, and the creek ripples in the background. Our Pastor preaches a sunrise service. Afterwards, we have a very delightful potluck breakfast/brunch, then we have our regular service with awesome worship music and a sermon to uplift the real meaning of Easter. It makes for an awesome day to celebrate our Lord and Savior's resurrection. You all are in our Prayers. Have a great summer and God Bless. Thanks Joe and Dom for this oppurtunity to share this special tradition.

~Jo, Mark and Sierra Solley
