  Fulfilling Dreams Lesson's...

  I chose to write this book after moving from Washington to Port Protection, Alaska to start a full-service fishing lodge. I had been asked several times by lodge guests, “What made you sell everything and move to Port Protection, Alaska to start a fishing lodge?” The other question asked most often was about our recipes. This made me feel so proud. I had thought we would be able to hire a cook but realized we couldn’t afford it at the time. I had to do the cooking. I lost sleep. I had to work so hard to find the easiest and best recipes and put a meal plan together, including lunches for our guests to eat on the boats. I kept a journal that I am now sharing. 
  Patty Mae Gray was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She grew up fishing, gardening, and investing in real estate. 
  In 1994, when Patty and her husband were moving to Port Protection, Alaska, she started her first journal. She is currently transforming her journals into novels. 
  She lives in Arizona with her dog, Lucy and parrot, Mattie. 
  Her goal is for her readers to enjoy and learn from each of her experiences through her stories. 
  This is narrated for the author.

  "TOE EK IN MY EERSTE WÊRELDBEKERWEDSTRYD UITDRAF, WAS DAAR IETS SOOS 54 000 MENSE. JY SIEN NET KAMERAFLITSE, DIS AMPER HIPNOTIES . . . DIE COACH SKREE VIR MY: 'CHUCKY, WAARMEE IS JY BESIG?' TOE BESEF EK EK IS BESIG OM VIR DIE MENSE TE WAAI." – LOUIS 'CHUCKY' VAN DER WESTHUIZEN
  Het jy al ooit gewonder hoe 50 000 ekstatiese ondersteuners op die paviljoen klink of wat dit beteken om 'n Springbokbaadjie in jou kas te hê?
  In die aanloop tot die Rugbywêreldbeker het die joernalis Hendrik Hancke die land deurkruis om met oud-Springbokke, provinsiale spelers, breiers en 'n rugbyskrywer te gesels oor hul liefde vir rugby. Hulle deel persoonlike oorwinnings en teleurstellings, die lesse wat rugby hulle al geleer het, spesiale kleedkamer-oomblikke en stories oor wat van die veld af gebeur.
  Schalk Brits verduidelik byvoorbeeld waarom dit so noodsaaklik is vir 'n Springbok om 'n spanspeler te wees, terwyl Gcobani Bobo aangrypend vertel van sy reis met rugby van King Williamstown tot Nieu-Seeland. Frik du Preez lig weer die sluier oor hoe dit was om in die 1960's te toer en die kattekwaad wat hulle aangevang het, terwyl Jean de Villiers deel wat dit beteken om Springbokkaptein te wees.
  As jy Saterdagmiddae kliphard vir die televisie skree, of op die sypaadjie sal slaap om 'n kaartjie vir 'n groot wedstryd te kry, dan is dié boek vir jou.
