I’m at a weekend workshop across Kachemak Bay from Homer learning to turn slimy salmon skins into beautiful functional art. The goal is to make a salmon skin basket. So far we’ve been very busy, not even time for lunch yet today! I have my first salmon skinned out. The[…]
“Life is simple, Life is good, When you’re living like you should” is a line from the theme song my daughter Jewel and I wrote for our reality show, Alaska: The Last Frontier. Life indeed was more than good this morning as I was sitting in my little Cottonwood Grove[…]
