You are invited to join Keith not only in her garden but also on her visits to other destinations to take photographs of butterflies. 

In the spring, Keith’s and Jerry’s garden welcomes bees, butterflies and everyone who passes by their home. Perhaps, they pause to enjoy the butterflies fluttering among the flowers. Perhaps, they enter the garden and visit Jerry & Keith, whose camera is always ready to focus on the variety of butterflies adding color and mystery to the garden.

KENNY’S CURE FOR SEASICKNESS – By Jerry Olson

Leave a Comment / ARCHIVES, WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY /

Ken’s birthday is March 11 and every year the NESTER includes a post reminding us all of the significance of Ken’s life to our lives.  Last year, Jerry & Keith contributed a post that chronicled a family cruise on the Christian in 1994. In prior years, Nancy shared a post highlighting her years with Ken on the CHRISTIAN.  Last year, The NESTER published Ken’s poem CALL ME ADVENA KEN.

In Jerry’s humorous post this year we don’t meet the Ken writing poetry, theology and skippering the CHRISTIAN in Southeastern Alaska waters.  We find Ken in his early twenties fishing for salmon off Cape Addington on his 33 foot troller, Lady Fay, with a seasick teenager for crew.  You will enjoy every sentence! You will find yourself telling others  . . . “Don’t miss this post!”
