“LETTERS FROM ALASKA 7 – By Carole Gibb

After several months, Lorelie and I are delighted to continue  posting Carole Gibb’s LETTERS FROM ALASKA. In these excerpts from her memoir FISHING FOR COURAGE, Carole writes letters to her sister, Mary, describing her challenging experiences fishing and living in Southeastern Alaska’s outback. Her letters are vivid, honest, and often quite funny!  The previous six letters are available in the WRITERS category of the NESTER blog.  Her memoir, FISHING FOR COURAGE, is available on AMAZON in both book and ebook formats.

Lee lageschulte – Photographer – “VALENTINE HEARTS, FLOWERS & GNOMES”

Gnomes are everywhere these days! Traditionally, these legendary, mythical, whimsical, small of stature creatures lived beneath the earth and had significant roles in our lives.  In our current supposedly sophisticated times, they are popular as decorative creatures on wallpaper in our houses, as funny little statues in our yards, and ubiquitous in shops, stores and malls during holiday times.  Not surprising then that gnomes should venture above the earth on Valentine’s Day.

After the holiday events are over, January arrives with its cold weather, icy streets and sidewalks. We are ready for a “quiet” time snuggled close to the fireplace with a shawl keeping us warm. A perfect time to reflect on our joyful memories!
We invite you to share these highlights of ours and remember your own as we begin the new year.

COZY CATS VIII -“SOCIAL CATS” – Photos by Keith, Lorelie & Friends – Text by Tim

These winter days are heavy with thick grey clouds, squalls and chilly temperatures. How cozy it would be to have a cat in my lap at this time of year, especially when I can’t sleep and stretch out on a couch in the living room. I pull out Lorelie’s scrapbook featuring cats, dogs rabbits and horses. As I turn the pages of the scrapbook, numerous pictures focus on our animal friends interacting with our human friends. Before returning to bed I have an idea about creating a post about “SOCIAL CATS.” I invite you to enjoy the results!
