TEOTWAWKI

Y2K food

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it […]

The Golden Calf

July 20, 2009October 14, 2022 David Leave a comment Grandpa Davey
American Flag - Shopko Parking Lot, Montana

A grateful Egypt allows the family of Joseph to dwell in the land of Goshen. After 400 years we would expect these children of Jacob to be assimilated into Egyptian culture. Instead we find them maintaining their religious and tribal identity. After all this time, these diehards still jump at the opportunity to flee to […]

A Stop at Willoughby

June 25, 2009March 4, 2015 David Leave a comment Grandpa Davey
Kalispell neighborhood

Willoughby? Maybe it’s wishful thinking nestled in a hidden part of a man’s mind, or maybe it’s the last stop in the vast design of things, or perhaps, for a man like Gart Williams, who climbed on a world that went by too fast, it’s a place around the bend where he could jump off. […]

Can’t Capture It!

May 29, 2009March 4, 2015 David Leave a comment Grandpa Davey
Big Creek, Northfork, Montana

We can intrigue, inform, lure, excite, or invite with our stories, yet cannot pass on experience from one to another. The images we capture serve to awaken memories in those that have them and hopefully stimulate fantasies in those that don’t. Last Saturday, after driving past some of the most dramatic scenery this world has […]

Two Types of Girls

May 15, 2009March 4, 2015 David Leave a comment Grandpa Davey
Grandpa Davey.Sweet Mom

As my thirty-sixth anniversary approaches, I reflect on what I have observed about the institution of marriage. Throughout history, most cultures have agreed upon and understood the definition of marriage. Apparently twenty-first century America is not one of these. How sad it is that young Americans know nothing of the most basic matrimonial rules. First […]

Reckless Abandon

May 8, 2009March 3, 2015 David Leave a comment Grandpa Davey, Life is an Adventure, New Orleans Roots
United Moving Van

It’s May and I know to bring hats, coats, and gloves to watch the kids play sports.  There was a time, not too long ago, that this was quite new to me.  In fact, everyday was full of new places and experiences. With wonder, I look upon those days.  We threw caution to the wind […]

Worst Case Scenario

April 26, 2009March 4, 2015 David Leave a comment Grandpa Davey
M's 4th birthday

We had decided, before they were born, to raise M&E out west. Now was the time to live up to our commitment. As the West is a big place, we had to find just the right location. We had eliminated most of the country. All that was left were two places and these were yet […]

Crossing Texas

April 11, 2009March 4, 2015 David Leave a comment Grandpa Davey
Marlene in the desert

Often seemingly insignificant decisions can have major influence on the course of our lives. One of those occurred on the cold morning of December 22, 1973. For the Christmas holiday, I had planned an adventure trip to see the snow peaked mountains of Colorado. As the time to depart drew near, I had some apprehension […]

Leave It to Beaver

young girl.old hag

Many are familiar with the drawing; Young Girl or Old Hag. When one observes the picture, they see either the young girl or an old hag. Rarely is one able to simultaneously see both. Based on experience and perspective, each of us may choose to view the world differently than the next person. As a […]

Where’s the Beef?

January 23, 2009April 29, 2015 David Leave a comment Grandpa Davey
Montana Cows

Last week I read two ads that reminded me of how basic commodities can change and how we simply adjust to what becomes available. The first was a family promoting their organic grass fed bison. The second was an email offering half of a grass fed steer. Growing up in America, almost every meal was […]
