At sixteen I received a box of a dozen long stem roses. It was Valentine’s Day and I was sitting in class when a voice came over the intercom telling the teacher that I should pack up my belongings and go to the office to check out. My mom had called and I would be […]
by Marlene It’s time again for the RMKK – year in review. January took us to Big Mountain Ski Resort in Whitefish, Montana where we took an avalanche safety class. We learned a lot and did some hands on training with beacons in a simulated rescue. The lesson on hoar frost was interesting […]
While coloring at a 4-H meeting, I realized how relaxed I felt. My daughters and I were helping out with the group’s Northwest Montana Fair float project, and I was outlining circles with various colors to simulate a crowd at a rodeo. Lately, I’ve been feeling rushed as everything seems to be screaming “Get this […]
We returned from our hike to Iceberg Lake feeling exhausted and a little sore. I plunked down at the picnic table, removed my socks and shoes, and gave my feet a self-massage. I knew I shouldn’t get too comfortable because we were going horseback riding, and that meant we had to leave as soon […]
Ann VanDeventer and frugality bloggers like Mama Mallory are getting all the credit these days for being cheapskates.

Avalanche Workshop Begins After much anticipation, we arrived at Whitefish Mountain Resort’s base lodge. We were early for our avalanche safety workshop, and explored the brand new lodge. When we went outside again, we saw a ranger standing around a bin of snowshoes. This must be our guide we thought. The K. family was there […]
Living in northwestern Montana doesn’t keep us from our deep south traditions of eating cabbage and black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day. Yes, it’s superstitious. But if you think about it many traditions are. For example, the custom of setting off fireworks on New Year’s Eve is believed to go back to ancient times when […]
