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 […]
These days, it’s more like spring than winter in Kalispell. The snow that fell last fall is all but gone and Christmas was more on the brown side than white. The shooting sports instructor has given consideration to raking leaves, and David said he knows someone that drove a motorcycle to work. Those are two things […]

A small crowd gathered on the porch of the Conrad Mansion as the essence of Thanksgiving withered and the Christmas season began to bloom. The air was chilly and the mood was festive as a cheerful tourist spoke to the waiting crowd about historical Boston. Finally, the screen door opened and a middle-aged woman looked […]
It’s batty enough that I prepare my mirlitons with frozen shrimp from Thailand and not the Gulf of Mexico. I am not about to bake my traditional Thanksgiving Day pie with pumpkin from China. Earlier in the season, I had looked for canned pumpkin at the store as my daughter had requested it […]
Costco really should give out numbers at their tire center. You pick a number when you go to the Department of Motor Vehicles and you also pick a number at Economical’s deli department so you’ll know when it’s your turn to be served. It makes everything nice and efficient; there’s no rushing to get a […]
A watched pot never boils. If you’ve ever boiled an egg, you know this is true. You wait and wait and wait, and nothing happens until you walk away. Then, voila! The water starts bubbling like crazy, and in 10 minutes (13 minutes in Kalispell, higher elevation instructions for hard-boiled eggs), you have eggs […]
