The moment I walked into the art museum I had a hunch it would be a tough competition. Up to then, I thought we had it in the bag. Hardly anyone was there except for the hosts and caterers. A masked woman greeted us and also handed us some Mardi Gras beads. As I […]
As my daughter looked through childhood memorabilia for a Mardi Gras tiara, she came across a 2004 Colorado newspaper with an article about a 4-H team of shooters who were attending a National Junior Olympic air rifle championship. She brought the article to me saying that little did we know, when we saved the paper, […]
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and what a glorious day it was! I sat near the window and basked in the sunshine watching squirrels play along the fence. Even though I normally have a pleasant disposition, I must admit that feeling the sun made it even better. […]
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 […]
You know that cat that I met months and months ago- the cute, furry black and white one who I feared had stolen the affections of my family? Well, I have a few things to say about her. Winter has finally set foot in this neck of the woods, bringing with it blowing […]
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 […]
