A friend recommended this well known poem from R W Emerson for the NESTER. In a GOOGLE search I found that this poem has been inspiring to many people and is included in many “favorite” quotes and poems by Emerson. This poem is a good companion piece with Cathy Ross’s poem “The Pause” published recently in the NESTER. I encourage you to read the poem and take it to “heart.” Tim

Keith invites you to spend a day with her and her camera in Greensboro, North Carolina. Begin in the morning after snowflakes have fallen during the night and covered the earth with their white brilliance. Take pauses during the day; watch the birds and squirrels in their search for food and water and notice how the snow changes the earth into a new reality.
Stay bundled up and enjoy how the street lamps glow and create interesting shadows.

Anticipation is at least half the fun. Rachel called me in June 2021 and suggested we go fishing together in Alaska. Rachel hoped to go to the same place we had fished with our husbands a few years ago. Instead, I recommended guided fishing at Pybus Point Lodge on Admiralty Island. Now we had fourteen months of anticipation.
Rachel shared news of our plans with Randy and Nancy. They agreed to share the fun. We met in Juneau the day before our trip. We arose early for our float plane ride to Admiralty Island. You are invited to share the adventure with us!

The title may be a little misleading, but let me explain . . . I was lucky enough to be born and raised in Seattle to a father and mother (actually, most of the time, my mom), who loved to sail.
The first boat I can remember was a Blanchard 33. It was built at the Blanchard Boat Works which was located on Lake Union very close to the University Bridge. It was a beautiful boat.
Now for the Christmas part. . . Every summer until 1960 we took a 9 day trip in the VARUNA to the US and Canadian San Juan Islands.
