Lost & found seasonal items in Kenai Peninsula

Lost: Holiday decorations from my Soldotna home.

I last checked the fireplace mantle at 9:30 p.m. Friday, at my home on Binkley Lane in Soldotna, on the Kenai Peninsula. The decorations are a mix of red-and-green garland with pinecones, a wreath, two glittering snowflakes, and a string of warm white lights. I had them set up for a small Christmas gathering and they instantly sparkled when the lights turned on. Since then I’ve retraced steps from the living room to the garage and even checked the nearby Soldotna Rotary Park parking lot, but they’re gone. These decorations carry memories from last year, and I’m hoping to have them back before our family brings out the stockings for Christmas Eve.
