The 2024 holiday season is over, but the happy memories linger . . . Join the extended Olson family of friends, relatives, and companion animals during Christmas and Hanukkah season.
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

Lorelie & I didn’t meet Stan on the deck of a sail boat. We met Mary & Stan in Beaver Valley, located on the eastern slopes of the Cascades where each of us owned a vacation cabin. Didn’t take long before we discovered each had a history with sailboats and had experienced sailing adventures that filled hours of conversation. Was it written in the stars that eventually Stan and I would find ourselves hoisting the sails on Freyja for a “ONCE IN A LIFETIME SAIL”?

Social activities, short trips to Ponderosa, celebrations with family, and several musical experiences filled Lorelie’s & Tim’s lives with memorable experiences! The spring’s three months flew by and included time for watching the birds winging north for the summer.

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!”
