It’s the time of year when watching pure white flakes drifting out of the sky is one of life’s simple pleasures. They brighten up an otherwise gray day and make a beautiful natural flocking on trees. Wilson A. Bently liked snowflakes too. He said, Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were […]
I think that I am having a butt workout and I have been doing better with this hiking business. Mallory is a real dummy. Eileen is too stupid to believe she is soo stupid (not to mention, a whiny). Kyle is extra sweet, Janice….AND SWEETIE Jared is precious. I’m telling these Mallory and Eileen kids […]
Frigid Temperatures Grip the South Freezing temperatures gripped Southeast Louisiana this morning. Temperatures hovered around 25 with a wind chill of 18 degrees. No doubt, weather forecasters had called for a “hard freeze” overnight. I’m sure they recommended the three P’s; which are to Protect Pipes, Pets, and Plants. Arctic air is due to invade the […]
Cold, brisk air beckoned us to play outdoors and the monochrome landscape along the Flathead River became the perfect winter play-land for snowshoeing. I know it looks downright cold and you may wonder why anyone would want to go outside in such bleak-looking conditions. My answer to that is: for the experience, to […]
The Boy Scout Motto: BE PREPARED The Scout motto means that you are always ready to do what is necessary to help others. It also means you are ready, willing, and able to do what is necessary in any situation that comes along. We’ve had some harsh weather lately, lots of snow and cold […]
Black Friday Ads Thanksgiving was great! It snowed all day, the turkey was moist and juicy, and we Skyped with family and friends. Our army pal shared some hilarious quips, I’ll call “humor in uniform”, concerning perspectives people have about Montana. Last night, we watched one of my all time favorite holiday classic movies, “The Bishop’s Wife”. This morning, […]
My sister, her husband, and their 8 kids were coming to visit for Thanksgiving. About a week earlier, they’d all been sick with a stomach virus. My sister sent us disgusting emails elaborating on the 20 puke buckets and the peanut butter vomit that her youngest splattered all over her face. My mom expressed her […]
How will we get the groceries home in the winter without them freezing solid? They’ll be in the bed of the pick-up truck exposed to the air! Won’t the cans of soft drinks burst? These were questions our southern brains used to ponder before we moved to the frozen north. Turns out the frozen north isn’t always […]
The first snow of the season is always exhilarating. Freezing snow and wind blew in our faces as we hurried inside. The gal at the entrance said something like, “My goodness! Look what you’re wearing,“ when she saw E in a summer dress with no leggings on her bare legs. I smiled and then walked over to […]
Rain, sleet, and snow. I could not have picked a more perfect day to schedule a trip to Costo to have my studded tires put on. Autumn has disappeared almost instantly and winter has reached our doorstep. William Shakespeare wrote 154 poems in sonnet form dealing with such themes as the passing of time, love, beauty, and mortality. […]
