A CHRISTMAS DAY GREETING – From Lorelie & Tim Wishing You a Christmas Season Filled With Joy

A long time ago what we  celebrate at this time of year began as bonfires on all the hills to bring “light” to a dark world and the story of a child, the “light” of the world.

These events are still the center of the way we celebrate the season.  The carols, the Christmas trees, traditions,  concerts, the gatherings of friends and family, and the quiet times for reading and meditation.  All of these harken back to the lighted hills on the darkest night and the birth of Jesus and his message of kindness and hope for the future.   

We wish you a joyful Christmas Day!
Lorelie & Tim

WHERE WE LIVE – A GRAND AVENUE WALK WITH THE OLSONS – By LORELIE OLSON

Come with us on a leisurely stroll along our Grand Avenue neighborhood. It is high summer, and many of the traditional homes are framed by mature trees and colorful street side plantings. We hope you enjoy the variety of gardens and and twentieth century architectural house styles,  including craftsman cottages, tudor bricks,  colonial revivals and even the early “mansions” of the lumber barons.

PONDEROSA SCRAPBOOK – PIZZA PICNIC AT JILL’S & RENE’S – Photos by Maureen Mitchell; Text by Lorelie Olson

After five months away from Ponderosa we were determined to spend a few days there to enjoy the fresh air, garden,  walks, and visits with our friends and neighbors. After  a drive over Stevens Pass in a spring snowstorm  we were greeted by Paul, Toni, and Spirit, and a garden that was free of snow!
