Alaska Christmas Gift
On Christmas eve each year, the five couples, (and six dogs) that share our cove here on Prince of Wales Island in the Alaska Panhandle, all gather in Dan and Liz Williams' beautiful log home to share gifts and celebrate Christmas. Its a great time of stories and camaraderie, food and friendship.
This year Ron and Joan Leighton gave us a very "Alaskan" gift, the table centerpiece shown here. It has a slightly corrupted Christmas significance, uniquely Alaskan. Can you guess what it is?
The answer when we post Part II of "Jonathan Bender's Cape Chacon"
In the meantime all of us here in Saltery Cove wish you the Season's Best, and a peaceful, healthy and prosperous 2010!
