I don’t regularly tune-in to the national news, nor am I a regular viewer of Oprah. But when I discovered yesterday that Oprah’s show was going to be The 20 Years Younger Challenge, I was intrigued. After finishing Sweet Mom’s story time, I planned to tune in to the show. However, a few minutes before […]

Mallory Rides a Bike
You remember Curious George. He lived with his friend, the man with the yellow hat. He was a good little monkey and always very curious. One morning the man with the yellow hat had a surprise for George. It was a bicycle! George was delighted. The man with the yellow hat […]
A Funky Easter Bonnet and Creole Cream Cheese
Don’t laugh. I know it looks like I have a flying saucer (I just can’t seem to get away from that alien theme) on my head or some such contraption. Perhaps my husband David thinks it looks more like the decoration that Lady Capulet wore to the ball where Romeo meets Juliet. Oh never […]
Wes, Sidewalk Art, Running Shoes, and Spring S’mores Bars
Spring has finally sprung. I think. So, what are the signs? Let’s take a look at the ABC’s of spring. A. We are having a passing snow shower as I write. Passing…being the operative word here. B. Wes has been looking out the window – a lot. Poor little kitty. He really, really, really wants […]
I Shot an Arrow in the Air
The sign said “Archery Range is Open”. David asked me if I would like to take a walk up there. I said I would, so he parked the truck and he, the girls, and I walked over to the trailhead. Mallory signed the register and commented “looking forward to coming back with my bow”. At […]

The […]
April Showers Bring May Flowers
“No one in the class could remember a time when there wasn’t rain.” -Ray Bradbury After a very cold morning, the sun came out and surprised me. Up until that time, I was feeling a bit like Margot in Ray Bradbury’s All Summer In a Day….waiting for the rain to stop and the glorious […]
A Trip to Roswell and the Extra-Terrestrial Highway
My April 1st post about UFO Sightings in and around Kalispell started me thinking about our road trip in the fall of 1999 to Roswell, New Mexico and Rachel, Nevada. M and E were toddlers and David and I traveled as much as we could at that time. We were seriously looking to move out west and traveling […]
No Joke: Ten UFO Sightings In and Around Kalispell
Today is April Fool’s Day and I was going to play a joke and tell you that the RMKK people had seen a UFO over the Rocky Mountains in the wee hours of the morning. But when I started to do some research on UFO sightings in Montana, it just didn’t seem funny anymore. […]
