From AUGUST, 2011: CHELAN AND BACK TOWARD SEATTLE

  • Tom has, over the past few years, become a masterful dessert chef. He had promised Olga that, if she ever came to Chelan, he would make her a chocolate garlic cake. Well, you can watch the discovery and discussion of this torte here. He was not able to join us for the unveiling of his creation, so hopefully, Tom, you can experience that momentous occasion through the magic of pixels, speakers, and the internet.
  • And now, join us for a piece! And you can watch and listen to the reactions.
  • Now it's time to learn how to lie in a hammock.
  • There is more than one way to lie in a hammock.
  • Hammock cocoon.
  • If you are interested in obtaining a hammock like this, Bev sells them at her store (Spirals). Her store's website is <a href="http://spiralsofjoy.com/">http://spiralsofjoy.com/</a><br /> <br /> After watching how fun these are in this video, you will want to order yours TODAY!<br /> <br /> Music by Kevin MacLeod at <a href="http://incompetech.com/">http://incompetech.com/</a>
  • Most of the time I was at home, Zac was hand-crafting a wooden spoon from cherry wood. Here he is working on it at Tsillan Cellars, probably the largest of the wineries in the Chelan area.
  • Among the goals of the folks who developed Tsillan Cellars was to create surroundings which, as soon as a visitor turned off the highway and onto the vineyard grounds, would give the feel of being in Tuscany. Here you can see Olga and Mario ringing the Chelan Tuscany bell!<br /> <br /> You can find Tsillan Cellars on the web at <a href="http://www.tsillancellars.com/">http://www.tsillancellars.com/</a>
  • Olga and Mario experience the pleasantly balancing tones of rare brass Tibetan singing bowls. In experiencing this, they are taking part in a practice thought to have originated at least 3,000 years ago. Today, singing bowls are used by psychotherapists, massage therapists, and recovery, stress and meditation specialists. They are popular in classrooms to help facilitate group activities and focus students' attention. I have a couple, which I find to be very soothing, relaxing, and meditative.<br /> <br /> I believe that Bev has bowls available dating back at least a few hundred years (correct me if I'm wrong, Bev), and also a wide selection cast by traditional methods in Tibet more recently. She also has a very wide selection of crystal singing bowls in just about any size you may be interested in. <br /> <br /> She has a steady clientele who drive the 4 hours from Seattle and say that her store beats anything they can find in Seattle as far selection, quality, and price.<br /> <br /> And you can have your own! Just visit <a href="http://spiralsofjoy.com/">http://spiralsofjoy.com/</a> and order yours now! I believe that you can order the crystal bowls directly from the website. For the brass ones, you may need to click on the CONTACT US link of her web site and inquire personally.<br /> <br /> Oh, and you don't have to have the things on your head to benefit from them. They are usually played with the bowl standing upright (open side up) on the floor (or, for the smaller ones, with the player holding it in the hand).<br /> <br /> While I know that you will love your bowl, also think about that person you need to get a gift for who seems to have everything. You may have just found the perfect thing that they DON'T already have! Look at <a href="http://spiralsofjoy.com/">http://spiralsofjoy.com/</a> NOW!
  • Taking a dip in the refreshing waters of pristine Lake Chelan.

  • Lake Chelan, at 1,400 feet deep, is the third-deepest lake in the United States (after Crater Lake and Lake Tahoe). It is considered one of the few pristine lakes left in our country, also. When I lived there, we would often get visitors from Lake Tahoe who would remark that Lake Chelan's water looked like Tahoe's did 40 years ago.
  • LOOK! Mario is in the water!
  • I guess after a person has had a Tibetan singing bowl on his head, he may do just about ANYTHING!
  • A rare moment: Mario is IN the water and Olga is OUT of it!
  • The most refreshing place in sunny Chelan!
