I was a bit surprised when David said, “I thought you’d have your coat on by now.” He had offered to start the Suburban for me. I thought it a very nice gesture as it was a frigid morning, around zero. “I’m in my pajamas”, I responded. I was in my Muk Luks and my […]
Skijoring articles have been jumping out at me this week. I don’t mean that they are literally jumping off the page at me, just that I have read a couple of skijoring articles. I am using irony. According to M and E’s Algebra book, The principles of Algebra explained through the eyes of Fred. they […]
Sliced bread from the grocery in Montana is different and I don’t mean in a good way. It’s not as soft and fresh as I am accustomed to buying in the south. Perhaps it is because there aren’t any commercial bakeries in town or maybe it is a regional preference of westerners to prefer stale […]
Once in awhile I pause and think about the things that I have manifested. Sometimes my mental picture makes me smile, other times it does not. A few years ago, I manifested a bat. Mallory and E found it hanging tenaciously onto our screen door. I asked it to leave nicely but it wouldn’t give up without […]
Before we had our traditional black-eyed peas and cabbage for New Year’s dinner, we took a hike in Glacier. It was about 5 degrees, so we knew to bundle up like the Michelin Man. It was a pretty busy afternoon near Fish Creek and as we headed out onto the trail, a group of gals […]
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.

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. […]
