Their son Brian, who works in construction, lives close by in Olympia and he has helped make the couple feel at home in their transition. He provided plenty of" expertise in the building of their home, particularly in planning their deck. Brian's family includes Sherry, who works for the state, and her two children, Jordan and Taylor.

SHE LIKES watching the Food Network and says "Emeril" is one of her favorite shows. Lori and Ken, who have been happily married fbr 41 years, take turns preparing the ingredients and cooking for each other at home. After they decided to move here, they started giving each other kitchen appliances fbr Christmas and birthday presents. "It was really exciting when we moved. We had already purchased our major appliances fbr the kitch- en, so it was nice to have the prod- ucts set to really make cooking fun when you have the right tools," Lori explains. This spring Lori plans to work on improving the landscaping by planting more trees in their yard. She tiredly refers to her neighbor- hood, a fiwmer oyster farm and orchard, as "the meadows," add- ing that "it's nice to have that canvas, if you will, to just plant whatever you want and transform it into a beautiful yard and have lots of pots on the deck with herbs phmted." One of her good friends in the area who knows about plants and trees is going to guide Lori in this project. Ken has already done planting of another kind: seed- mg shelIfish along their stretch of beach. Besides harvesting the sealbod, the couple also enjoys boating and other water activities with fYiends, as well as spotting wildlife, including eagles, osprey, blue heron and once even whales, off" the shore. "IT DOESN'T GET much bet- ter," she says and concludes: "I guess change is okay." Everyone in their fhmily loves to cook. Lori says Ken is a "fabu- lous" cook, while their son Brian loves to barbecue, Sherry is a ter- rific baker and Kim is "phenom- enal" and enjoys experimenting with adventurous recipes. "You get the combination of all of us to- gether and, let me tell you, it's a lot of fun," Lori says. Their future son-in-law Gabe introduced them to the tbllowing seafood recipe.
