Did you know that December 28th is Card Playing Day? I didn’t, until I checked my email and saw a message about this Lens of the Day on Squidoo.   It never ceases to amaze me that there is a day set aside for almost everything!   It is said that Card Playing Day was […]

The Year Santa Had a Rubber Beard

December 25, 2012November 6, 2013 Marlene Leave a comment Miscellaneous

A childhood memory of long ago, Of the jolly ol’ elf, Who says “Ho, ho, ho!” A vision so vivid, It’s still in my mind. Of a Santa so different, Like no other kind. Mom and Dad and Brother and me, Off to Grandmother’s house to see, There we were, dressed to the nines. Everyone […]

Kalispell Christmas Spirit Remains Steadfast

November 29, 2012October 23, 2017 Mallory Leave a comment Glacier Country

  Charles Conrad only lived in the beautifully appointed Conrad Mansion for the final seven years of his life. Anyone associated with the Conrads or who descended from the family will attest that those seven years were the most joyous years in the Mansion.   One aspect of that brief, happy time was the annual […]

Visiting the Shay in Columbia Falls

November 6, 2012November 17, 2012 Marlene 2 Comments Glacier Country, Historical, Life is an Adventure

Adventure on the edge of the wilderness can take on many forms…   We crossed the railroad tracks and were heading into town when I made the decision to stop at Depot Park. My family and I had passed the park going to and from town since moving to Columbia Falls; the park is small […]

Woodpile Envy

October 30, 2012December 16, 2014 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure

Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms…   My definition of woodpile envy: when an individual has a preoccupation of observing other peoples woodpiles as to the size, quantity, and quality of their logs.   This certainly applies to me as I’ve been looking at woodpiles for years […]

The Lonesome Sound of the Passing Train

October 23, 2012September 11, 2013 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

Adventure on the edge of the wilderness in Montana can take on many forms…     Moving to a new home is like a whirlwind, a flurry of activity, a tumultuous time of excitement, confusion, and disorder. It’s a time of change to be embraced. And if you let it flow, out of the chaos […]

Before They Had Cat Ladies and Old Maids….

October 10, 2012November 19, 2018 Mallory 2 Comments Glacier Country, Historical

…the Flathead Valley had these fellows. This photograph taken from a historical book about the Flathead Valley caught my eye. Two of the men in the photograph advertising “Wives Wanted” are holding cats.     Adventurous men traveled to the Montana frontier in the 1800’s and 1900’s looking for work and hoping for  success. Many […]

Mewving Daze

October 10, 2012June 10, 2013 Wes Leave a comment Breaking Mews

First of all, the living room transformed.     I made the best out of this unusual situation and decided to sit atop a prime box that had been topped with a soft blue blanket. From here I could survey the strange activities of the household humans.     Alas, my humans lugged away much […]
