#1 Three Relaxing Nights at Beautiful
Camano Island Beach House
Just the mere mention of “beach house” and
“island” and your imagination takes over - you
feel wet sand between your toes, smell the briny

by the fire and watch the weather drift by, or if
you prefer, set out for long walks on the beach
and set the crab pots in anticipation for dinner.
Gather with family or friends (there‟s plenty of
room) … or maybe escape in solitude. Or host
your book club or poker buddies for a long
weekend of hearty Northwest food, wine and
lively discussion. No matter what, this is the
place for you.

nights. Sleeps up to 8 adults and 6 children.

#17 Writing Rescue
The girl was a lovely girl; she just didn't know
why. Staring numbly at the passersby around her
to avoid the thin envelope next to her latté , this
girl was pretty sure that, if she couldn't
articulate just what she had to offer the world,
the person in the Admissions Office wouldn‟t see
it either. She had about as much belief in the
authenticity of her voice as she had in aliens. At
the next table, the hot boy in the hoodie scanned
the sample essay he was to analyze for English
class with much the same venomous vibe that
Captain Kirk used when he eyed a new planet.
To go boldly forth, yet in a formal essay? How?
Bring your son or daughter's personal statement
into focus. Help them reveal and revel in the
essay form, by bridging the gap between the
mystery of the formal and their own, authentic,
voice. Allow her, him, or yourself, to explore
what authority means.
Includes 5 instructional hours to shape personal
essays for college - or to find vocal power in
formal essay form. Poet and playwright Audrey
Freudenberg (B.A. Yale University, M.F.A. in
Creative Writing from the University of
Montana-Missoula) offers her skills in the
service of freeing your voice, or that of someone
you know. Five hours of coffee shop analysis
will open eyes to the power of expository writing
and provide the tools to shock a lost writer's
boring essay to life.

and the truth of this is revealed. Seattle is
breathtaking. To really appreciate the wonder of
Seattle‟s unique landscape, you must see it, not
from the ground, but from the sky. That is why

It‟s December, 1899. A small menagerie on the
estate of Guy C. Phinney, a Canadian-born
lumber mill owner and real estate developer, is
sold to the city for $5,000 in cash along with the
assumption of a $95,000 mortgage. The sum is
so large that the Seattle mayor vetoes the
acquisition ... only to be over-ruled by the city
council. Politics never change. Whether you‟re
looking for something special for your own
family, those wonderful friends or your very
special guests visiting from out-of-town, you‟ll
be grateful to that long-ago city council for

#35 Karin Nelson Acupuncture
“Day gives way to night, night to day; a time of

we wake and sleep, breathe in, breathe out.
Yin/Yang is a constant, continual flow through
which everything is expressed on the one hand
and recharged on the other. They are an
inseparable couple. Their proper relationship is
health; a disturbance in this relationship is
disease.” (Acupuncture, p. 57)

#36 Jewelry First Aid
We all have it – that stack of broken necklaces
and bracelets tossed into the bottom of the
jewelry box or the corner of the dresser drawer.
Some have a broken link; others are missing a
clasp; all are waiting patiently to be fixed and
returned to their former glory. You mean to get
to them someday, and you certainly can‟t bear to
throw them away. But life is busy and you don‟t
know where to go to fix them anyway. So they
wait, languishing in want of a little TLC. That is,
