Couple loves Shelton's charm
(Continued from page 15.)
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.
Lori and Ken also have a daugh-
ter, Kim, as well as a future son-
in-law, Gibe. They are airline cap-
tains. Gibe also has a teenage son,
Rex. "I love the kids," Lori says.
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. "It's very yummY,'
Lori assures.
