Mary Pelzel is a city girl who moved to the mountains of Washington State. She and her husband, David worked side by side in their auto repair business in Selah, WA for 25 years. She now writes of unexpected life in the woods with humor and a love of cooking. It was always her husbands dream to move to the mountains ndash; not hers. In some aspect of life it did, indeed, turn into her nightmare. She owns and operates a gift shop and tea house where guests are treated to gourmet high tea parties. Her husband,( and best friend), has always been supportive of her efforts. Many is the time that after hosting such a tea party, when she was… too tired to prepare his meal, he would then cook for her. What a man! He is entitled to his dream!
