The year 2021 has claimed another event cancellation but this unfortunate call off was not due to COVID-19, but the strange weather conditions in the winter of 2020-21. The event; the 2021 Ice Fishing Classic, also known as Murph's Memorial, was called off on Tuesday, January 12, due to the status of Nelson Reservoir. Nelson's body of water is typically frozen in January, this year, not so much. "A couple of weeks ago, I started noticing the ice and I started asking fisherman," event...

This new year of 2021 has started out with a bang. First the Covid---then the riots against our Democracy---and last Wednesday when we had such terrible winds, all over the state. Damage was great in some places; damage of overturned semi's, etc. It is good that we do ,not have such weather too often here as they do in some places. There will be a lot of roofers busy when the weather warms up enough to replace roofs. Terri and Wink Cole had family home this week. Polly Solberg returned home...
Carol Lumsden and I went to Havre on Friday to pick up my new glasses which are bifocals. I’m so happy that I can see to read without enlarging all the writing! But I can’t watch TV while I sit in my lounge chair. I’ll get practiced up! We saw 4 bald eagles cleaning up a roadkill close to the overpass on highway 2. I think they are so majestic! I also saw a snowy owl twice this week! They are so white! On Wednesday we had a wind that was like no other and we don’t even live in Kansas! The pow...

Admittedly, I’m a bit of a Luddite. I don’t tweet, blog or Zoom. But I do have a favorite device: the radio. I prefer the immediacy it provides. Always have. Although the news app on my phone offers a plethora of options for keeping up with the outside world, I’m content to listen to a single news broadcast at the top of every hour. It’s more than enough, especially in these troubled times. Since this all began last March, Barb and I have been keeping to ourselves, something I’m much more comf...
I am relieved that the sports season started. I am relieved that the sports season started. I know that COVID-19 has changed many aspects of the sporting events including the amount of spectators that can attend, the encouragement of wearing masks and keeping your hands clean, but the athletes are able to compete. For that, I am thankful. Our kids are doing well this season. Several teams are still without a loss in their first three weeks of basketball, which is a testament to the resilience...
My friend, Jane, said grandfathers are love and time to spend it. Baby Jenny didn’t say anything; she just gurgled and cooed as she nestled contentedly in her grandfather’s lap. My camera caught the moment in a photo that I captioned “Mutual Admiration Society”. Grandpa and Jenny smiling at each other We had it enlarged and framed; that photo expressed it all: love between a grandfather and his granddaughter. We were so blessed that our children’s maternal grandparents lived practically next door to us. This beloved grandfather let our three...

"It was another great weekend for the Lady Mavericks picking up two more wins" Lady Mavericks Head Coach Amber Erickson said.
