Ina Wivell, whose paintings
are now hung in Mason General
Hospital, is a resident of Shelton;
but for 40 years her home was the
Wivell farm.
With her husband, now
deceased, she traveled the United
States and British Columbia for
the Jersey Cattle Club. She has
traveled in Alaska and she is an
honorary So/urdough, A
cheschako First Class, a member
of the Arctic Circle Club and a
lifetime member of the Alaska
Walrus.
"Who wants to be an Elk or a
Moose?" she queries.
For 30years she enjoyed pack
trains into the Olympics, where
she wrote many poems about the
mountains. She spent a summer at
an old Hudson Bay establishment
in Northern British Columbia.
During World War I Ina Wivell
carried mail on a rural route, and
while her husband was
hospitalized she sold books
throughout the countryside.
Mrs. Wivell taught school in
Wisconsin, in Tukwila, Seattle,
Bellevue, Pioneer and Shelton.
Since her retirement ten years ago
she has painted, now becoming
more interested in watercolors.
She holds membership in
Shelton Art Club, American
Legion Auxiliary, Retired
Teachers Association, and The
Seekers in the United Methodist
Church. She has two children,
eight grandchildren and two
great-grandchildren.
African violets have replaced
the extensive gardens once grown
by Ina Wivell, who now visits Fir
Lane Terrace Convalescent Center
to bring friendship to the
residents.
"We sing the old songs," she
explains, "and share coffee and
cookies. We have a good crew but
we could use more helpers."

A pre-Christmas festivity for
Deanna Brown and her family is a
cookie-decorating night.
"In advance," says Dee, "I
bake and freeze many cookies,
leaving them unfrosted. On our
special evening the kids decorate
these cookies while additional
batches are mixed and baked."
Her husband, Gene, makes the
spritz cookies. Ornamentation is
completed by four-year-old Tori,
seven-year-old Terri, ten-year-old
Tony and Tracy, who is 12.
"We make small holes in the
cookies," Dee states, "so that we
can hang them on a tree. We trim
this tree with a very few small and
bright decorations, but it is
mostly just loaded with colorful
cookies to be served to guests.
"The kids think it's just
great," she adds, "to take these
cookies from the tree for their
friends."
Dee Brown was born in
Olympia. At the age of 14 years
she moved to Rochester and 18
months later to Toledo,
Washington. The family next

ecora
located in Chehalis where Dee
completed her senior year of high
school.
"Dad was a logger," she
explains.
For two years Dee worked in
the kitchen of a Chehalis rest
home, after which she made her
home in Port Townsend,
employed in a similar facility.
"I joined the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints when
I lived in Port Townsend," she
relates, "and I met Gene through
church activities."
Two months later Gene said:
"We might as well get married
and get this show on the road."
They did so, and their first
home was on Gene's Matlock
property which was home to 30
peafowl, many crows and
raccoons, three horses, a monkey
and a pet turkey that slept on the
porch and ran to meet Gene when
his car drove into the yard.
"Gene had lions at one time,"
Dee says, "but he didn't have
them when we were married. I
was accustomed to pets. We

Luck?
Fortune is always on the side of
the largest battalions.
Marquise de Sevigne
always had animals at my
childhood homes, and I helped
my dad with them."
Deanna Brown describes
herself as a country girl, and finds
complete fulfillment in her
beautiful and spacious Agate area
home.
"I have all the pleasures I
need," she declares, "just in
looking at this scenery and in
caring for my family. I wanted
our children to be reared where
they had space to move around."
Her children share July
birthdays, and one big party is
held in celebration for all.
"It's Christmas in July," Dee
laughs.
The children, like their
parents, love animals and there
are many household pets which
include two Afghan hounds and a
poodle. Prissy and Patches are
cats. Iggy and Ziggy are iguanas.
Tomrnie, Dicky and Freddy are
canaries. Two pet rats are called
Sweetie Pie and Shannon, the
latter named for an aunt.
"We're also feeding two stray
cats," Dee announces.
Mrs. Brown likes to read when
the house is quiet and the
children have settled in to bed.
"I used to sew a lot," she
says, "'and I will again when Tori
goes to school. Right now most of
my time and energy is spent in
caring for my family."
Her cookies are waiting in the
freezer for a family fun-night
soon to happen.
"There's still time," she urges.
"Better start baking!"

Thaw turkey in
If you buy a frozen turkey one
day and plan to cook it the next,
leave the bird in the original
wrapping, place it in a large
brown paper bag and let it thaw
at room temperature, the WSU
Cooperative Extension Service
advises. The paper bag allows the
turkey to thaw completely while
keeping the outside surface at a
temperature low enough to keep
paper bag
bacteria from growing.
A turkey weighing
pounds will tak eup to 1~
thawing time in the bag.
as it is thawed, it
refrigerated or cooked. A
turkey should not be
just before roasting, to
harmful bacteria
multiplying.
