Adventure on the edge of the wilderness
Valentine’s Day should not be about flowers, candy, or teddy bears. It should be about spending time with those we love and appreciating them for who they are – not just on February 14th, but every day of the year. Whether you’re spending a quiet evening alone with a box of chocolates and your […]
It’s time again for the wild and raucous event of bar stool racing in Martin City! We went last year and enjoyed watching all of the foolishness. It was a blast, even though Mallory was run over by a canoe full of fur traders and a big hairy Bigfoot. Actually, that episode – since no […]
When I saw a blog article on the Huffington Post by “That Girl”, I was curious. The post was titled St. Jude at 50…and a Nation’s Stamp of Approval. What else did Marlo Thomas have to say, I wondered. I remember her father, Danny Thomas, as the Lebanese actor well known for his big nose, […]
My doorbell rang. I should say buzzed. It’s the kind of sound that pierces the eardrums and makes your heart skip a beat. Just ask my noise sensitive husband. He’ll tell you. I stared at the front door for a moment wondering who would be calling at that time of night. Kalispell folds up fairly […]
Cabin Fever – A type of hysteria where a person or group of persons spends too much time indoors. Does this sound like you? I know it sounds like the circumstances around this household. It’s almost February, undoubtedly the dreariest, ugliest month of the entire year. This is the time when you’re stuck inside of the […]
The last time the snowy owl descended upon the Flathead Valley in large numbers was in the winter of 2005 – 2006. It was my first winter residing here and being a southern gal from New Orleans, I was very impressed with wintertime and snow. Occasionally, I would drive around different parts of the valley […]
Winter has finally arrived to Northwest Montana. Snow has been falling all day and I am thrilled by its arrival. I love the crunch under my boots, the bright illuminations of a moonlit night, and the silence of a new blanket of snow. With the exception of a few souls shoveling walks, a woman […]
The day started out as usual until we ice skated on the clear, green ice of Foys Lake. It was a cloudy and fairly warm day by Montana standards, with no new snowfall expected. David and I decided to hike the Foys Overlook Trail to get out of the house and get some exercise. […]
David and I took a leisurely drive into the heart of the Flathead Valley. Farms and ranches dotted the landscape, under a turbulent sky. Curious horses in fuzzy winter coats graciously posed for pictures, before we stopped at Fairview Cemetery, where it was incredibly cold. A […]
These days, it’s more like spring than winter in Kalispell. The snow that fell last fall is all but gone and Christmas was more on the brown side than white. The shooting sports instructor has given consideration to raking leaves, and David said he knows someone that drove a motorcycle to work. Those are two things […]
