Everywhere you look, life is an adventure.
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

It makes everything nice and efficient; there’s no rushing to get a […]
Heading into the Clouds How would you feel if the sun was shining, your family was bored, and all you could come up with, for fun, was to take a ride to look for a hose tower? I mean…it was something I wanted to do, but, eventually. I didn’t think I wanted to waste a […]

Upon hearing the story of Erin Bolster and her spirited horse Tonk charging a grizzly to save an 8 year old boy from imminent danger while on a trail ride in the Flathead National Forest near Glacier National Park, I thought of my brave little girl Eileen and our intrepid trail guide Esther. I’m sorry […]
