The Saga of the Silver Christmas Tree

December 15, 2011November 26, 2013 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

Once upon a time in the 1960’s, When everybody thought everything was nifty, Came out of a box, Complete with branches and stand, An aluminum Christmas tree, Of which I was not a fan. It was thought to be modern, And space age too, No chopping, no watering, Less clean up for you. It shown […]

Ice Fishing!

March 4, 2011February 20, 2013 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure

It’s a tough job drilling with a manual auger through 20 inches of ice. Twenty Inches of Ice! Drilling through 20 inches of ice (I am still amazed by this number) on a recent ice fishing outing was no easy task. After David drilled his hole and dropped his line, it was the girls turn to […]

Cabin Fever Days in Martin City, Montana

February 15, 2011December 9, 2013 Marlene Glacier Country, Life is an Adventure

It’s another beautiful day in Old Kalispell. It’s gray and warm at about 37 degrees. The rain that fell early this morning has turned into a wintry mix reminding us that old man winter isn’t finished with us yet. Standing at the kitchen sink I called to the girls to look at the big flakes […]

The Coldest Mardi Gras Ever

January 6, 2011April 11, 2020 Marlene 1 Comment New Orleans Roots, Things We Find Interesting

Just when I thought the holidays were over, I remembered Mardi Gras. I checked online to see what date it falls on this year and discovered the celebration will be on Tuesday, March 8th. That got me to thinking of my husband David, and the coldest Mardi Gras ever, which I refer to as sometime […]

Snowflakes

December 14, 2010January 28, 2012 Marlene Glacier Country, Things We Find Interesting

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.     Wilson A. Bently liked snowflakes too.  He said,   Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were […]

How to Make Snow

November 23, 2010January 6, 2016 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country, Things We Find Interesting

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 […]

Shakespeare’s Sonnet No. 97

November 17, 2010August 18, 2011 Marlene 2 Comments Glacier Country

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.  […]

A Strong Desire for Skates

November 9, 2010August 18, 2011 Marlene 3 Comments Glacier Country

“If one imagines with enough energy behind it, expectations eventually manifest.” ~ You Get What You Expect Temperatures cold enough to freeze the pond haven’t yet arrived in Kalispell. Nevertheless, that hasn’t stopped the “I can’t wait to ice skate” enthusiasm which began shortly after summer faded away. Ice skating is a favorite winter sport […]
