Girl Scout Memories

February 29, 2012March 14, 2012 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

  While surfing the Internet, I ran across an article about the Girl Scout organization celebrating its 100th anniversary.   In honor of the celebration, Little Brownie Bakers has whipped up a new confection called Savannah Smiles. It is a lemon flavored cookie, dusted in powered sugar. Yummy, no doubt, but it will be hard to […]

I Want My Pumpkin Made in America!

December 1, 2011November 20, 2018 Marlene 4 Comments Glacier Country

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 […]

Remembering Chicky

August 30, 2011February 24, 2016 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country

  A gentle rain was falling as I sat in a fragrant huckleberry patch picking from the mother lode of bushes. It was peaceful and quiet on Big Mountain and I passed the time as I always do picturing bear lips nibbling away at the berries and wondering what happens if humans pick too many. […]

Cycling Adventure in Glacier National Park – Hikers, Bikers, and Bears!

June 7, 2011March 13, 2013 Marlene 1 Comment Bear Encounters, Cycling, Glacier Country

While plowing progresses on the upper reaches of The Going to the Sun Road, vehicular traffic is stopped at Avalanche. This leaves the road to hikers, bikers and bears!”  This having been my first bike ride on the Going to the Sun Road, I wasn’t sure what to expect as the road can be deceptively […]

Just Call Me Nobody!

April 28, 2011July 23, 2013 Marlene 3 Comments Glacier Country

I don’t regularly tune-in to the national news, nor am I a regular viewer of Oprah. But when I discovered yesterday that Oprah’s show was going to be The 20 Years Younger Challenge, I was intrigued. After finishing Sweet Mom’s story time, I planned to tune in to the show. However, a few minutes before […]

Dreaming of Spring and Snowshoeing

February 25, 2011February 16, 2013 Marlene Glacier Country, Hiking, Life is an Adventure, Snowshoeing and Ice Skating

When I looked out of the backdoor this morning, the blizzard was over. Left in its wake was fresh snow and arctic cold.  I longed for spring and began to think of Logan Pass. Surely we will go up there as soon as the road is plowed and the pass accessible. It will probably be […]

3 Reasons My Truck is Cranky

February 1, 2011April 16, 2014 Marlene 3 Comments Glacier Country
Me in my lounge pants and Muk Luks.

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 […]

You Gotta Love Fall and 15 Bean Soup!

October 19, 2010September 9, 2014 Marlene 4 Comments Glacier Country

  While having a hot bowl of 15 bean soup, Mallory piped up and suggested we take 5 minutes to write down everything we LOVE about the season.  We did, and here is what she came up with. What I Love About Fall – by Mallory   A. The color of the world…everything is in hues of yellow, brown, and […]

100 Years of Grandeur

May 11, 2010March 9, 2015 Marlene Marlene's This and That

I first witnessed her magnificence in the middle of winter. Her majesty was draped in deep pure snow. Silence enveloped me in the crisp cold air. It was my first experience with her grandeur and my visit was limited to exploration around the lake. My journey of discovery was only just beginning. It would be […]
