The Lonesome Sound of the Passing Train

October 23, 2012September 11, 2013 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms…     Moving to a new home is like a whirlwind, a flurry of activity, a tumultuous time of excitement, confusion, and disorder. It’s a time of change to be embraced. And if you let it flow, out of the chaos […]

Lost in Bear Country

October 22, 2012October 22, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure, Miscellaneous

Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms… I followed my husband into bear country, he didn’t take his GPS, and we got lost. I will follow him anywhere, sometimes against my better judgment. It never does me any good to complain and to be fair, I must add […]

Louisiana Bald Cypress Meets Western Larch

October 15, 2012March 2, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Historical, New Orleans Roots, Things We Find Interesting

    As Northwest Montana reaches its peak of fall color, let’s talk about trees. Not a major lecture, just a couple of elementary basics and a few connections.   Most of you know that trees fall into two categories; deciduous and coniferous.   Deciduous trees have leaves that change color and fall off early […]

Does Our Consciousness Shape Reality?

October 10, 2012March 9, 2015 Marlene Leave a comment Marlene's This and That

Contemplate the notion that with every thought you are creating your future. This has sometimes been a scary  thought for me because I am not always thinking about sugar and spice and everything nice. When you become aware that your thoughts become your reality, you realize the great responsibility that comes with this knowledge. There […]

Before They Had Cat Ladies and Old Maids….

October 10, 2012November 19, 2018 Mallory 2 Comments Glacier Country, Historical

…the Flathead Valley had these fellows. This photograph taken from a historical book about the Flathead Valley caught my eye. Two of the men in the photograph advertising “Wives Wanted” are holding cats.     Adventurous men traveled to the Montana frontier in the 1800’s and 1900’s looking for work and hoping for  success. Many […]

Mewving Daze

October 10, 2012June 10, 2013 Wes Leave a comment Breaking Mews

First of all, the living room transformed.     I made the best out of this unusual situation and decided to sit atop a prime box that had been topped with a soft blue blanket. From here I could survey the strange activities of the household humans.     Alas, my humans lugged away much […]

Dragons in Flathead Lake!

September 20, 2012January 17, 2017 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure

I’ll let you in on a big secret. There is more to Montana than mountains, bears, and cowboys. For one, the Flathead Lake Monster lurks in the depths of Flathead Lake and also, dragons cruise its pristine waters. Recently, many of the dragons made an appearance at the first annual Dragon Boat Races in Montana. The […]

Feline Philosophy

September 19, 2012November 17, 2012 Wes Leave a comment Breaking Mews

Garrison Keillor once said, “Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose.” Sounds like a cool dude to me.     I am much more interested in what’s for dinner than concerning myself with the setting of the sun.     Tibbs seemed to think it was purrty. He’s […]

Geocaching in Bear Country

September 18, 2012December 30, 2012 Marlene Leave a comment Geocaching, Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure

Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms…   When we got out of the truck and began our geo-hunt, I had no clue what was in store for us other than the usual search for a geocache. I knew it would be cleverly hidden somewhere off of the […]
