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. […]
Glacier Country
Adventure on the edge of the wilderness
Beauty, Guns, Speed, and Marijuana
I’ve been romanticizing about the West for a long time…since 1996 as a matter of fact…or I should say since childhood when I was watching those Marlboro commercials with my granny. My real fascination with Montana began on a trip to Yellowstone National Park in August of 1998. David, M, E, (M and E were […]
It’s Time to Make Your Own Victory Garden!
Have you started your vegetable victory garden yet? I haven’t. Every year I swear I’m going to start the seedlings indoors during January, thereby ensuring a good crop and variety of vegetables. It’s almost the end of March and all I have are a packet of radishes and bell peppers…still in the pack. If you’ve […]
Mallory Makes Lens of the Day on Squidoo!
It all started with an email reply to “A Walk With Us”. After receiving some pictures of my grandkids, I replied to my daughter Janice, with this question, “How did you do on your volleyball physical?“ She wrote back and explained that it was a complimentary physical for a health club and not for volleyball.

Ice Fishing!
It’s a tough job drilling with a manual auger through 20 inches of ice. Twenty Inches of Ice! Drilling through 20 inches of ice (I am still amazed by this number) on a recent ice fishing outing was no easy task. After David drilled his hole and dropped his line, it was the girls turn to […]
Nine Great Tips on How to Have a King Cake Party
Mid 30’s today with snow still covering the tree branches after last night’s snowfall. Chilly, but no comparison to the bone chillin’ weather at last weekend’s shooting match. People hustled from the icy parking lot into the Grandstand Building to get warm. They looked cold, which is saying a lot considering most of the winter […]
Dreaming of Spring and Snowshoeing
When I looked out of the backdoor this morning, the blizzard was over. Left in its wake was fresh snow and arctic cold. I longed for spring and began to think of Logan Pass. Surely we will go up there as soon as the road is plowed and the pass accessible. It will probably be […]
