When I read the Squidoo lens, Interesting Facts About George Washington, I thought of the moms I know who are considering homeschooling their little ones, are beginning to think about curricula, and “how” they plan to homeschool their children. The lens reminded me of the methods I’ve used to homeschool my girls. I’ve taught […]
Fair week is over and everyone is settling back into somewhat of a normal routine. However, last week was bustling as Mallory and Eileen put the finishing touches on their craft and photography projects for the annual Northwest Montana Fair. It was entry day and down to the wire when Mallory added colorful beads to […]
A Moment of Terror on the Route of the Hiawatha – Dark, Cold Tunnels! Suddenly everything went dark. A sense of unease came over me. It was cold and I could barely see. I was afraid and wanted to stop but I had to keep moving for fear that someone would run in to me. […]
The Route of the Hiawatha is the “Crown Jewel” of the Rails to Trails System. With that said, the Hiawatha lived up to its reputation as a spectacular bike ride through the rugged Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho and Montana. After a pleasant stay in historic Wallace, Idaho, we drove out of town 20 miles on […]
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 […]
M and E took their first solo hike yesterday. The distance wasn’t very far, about 2 miles (they are accustomed to much longer) up the mountain to an overlook in the valley. David and I had gone up there the day before and thought it would be a great place for them to practice hiking […]
In my article “100 years of Grandeur”, I refer to Mary Roberts Rinehart and her eloquent expressions of Glacier National Park. She said, “There is no voice in all of the world so insistent to me as the wordless call of these mountains. I shall go back. Those who go once always hope to go back. […]
Hope you all had a great Father’s Day weekend….skipping stones and all! We were planning on driving the entire Going to the Sun Road, but persistent Pacific storms kept dumping moisture over the region. Weather conditions and an additional 6” of snow fell on the road between Triple Arches and Logan Pass preventing crews from completion […]
Before I rattle on about our trip to the zoo (Montana style), I would like to thank Blogger for honoring me with Blog of Note yesterday. I was at Costco all morning having my winter studded tires changed over to my summer ones. When I returned, I checked my email and found that Angie had […]
As soon as the ice froze on Woodland Park pond, we set out to do some ice skating. Skating is definitely my favorite winter sport. I love gliding around on a frozen pond, and practicing my figure skating moves. Last year was a disappointment. Due to the bad economy, Parks and Rec. couldn’t afford to do their […]
