Title: Got my airline tickets, I'm on cloud nine.
Post by: Helene Fielder on June 01, 2015, 07:55:25 PM

Frank and Karen invited me to visit with them this summer.  I get to spend time watching Frank work, help him lug rocks out of the woods, meet a famous potter, fellow rock-hounds and maybe get a chance to catch a salmon.  (Gergis Aunt Helene is coming)  I visited with them before and the Ruggiero's will keep you busy all hours of the day and at times all night.  I'm one lucky gal to have good friends! 

I was hoping they would invite me.  I couldn't invite myself, so when Frank said come, it took me 0 seconds to say yes.
I will be at my best behavior.

I am really worried about our horrendous marsh mosquito problem, it is alaskan in nature. We could do a get together at a few public places near my hose or maybe on a creek or river . We are very excited also as we had a wonderful time with Helene who has a sense of humor as she put up with all night drives with us a few times last fall when she visited Montana and Wyoming. If we get together i will bring some rough to give folks.

I will take lots of pictures and share them with everyone.  During my first visit with Frank and Karen I was in deep depression with the loss of my husband.  Life is better now and I'm  ready and excited to make friends and get to experience a bit of other people's lives.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing a few weeks of your life with me.

Perhaps we could meet for a field trip at the Skokomish river fish hatchery on 101 north of Shelton a bit. I know of a safe wet collecting trip that is a mile in on a decommissioned  road. Jasper for all.
