Like me, my house has fallen into disrepair. My eyesight is failing. My teeth are falling out of my head. I can’t hear a thing. I have to plead with my knees every morning simply to get them...

The days are very noticeably shorter now and the trees are getting yellow leaves in places, so it is reminding us that fall is coming. Also, our nights are very cool. It all seemed to happen so...

This week the weather was nice and warm but cooled off in the evenings. That’s one more positive thing about this area: it can get warm but almost always cools off in the evening! Of course, the...

Sympathy and prayers to the family of Courtney Hellie of Whitewater who passed away recently. She left 6 boys. She will be missed by family and friends. “Get Well” wishes to Howie Hammond of...

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Courtney Hellie who recently passed away. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her husband and six boys. Sympathy to my cousin Ray and Lois Austin on the passing...

Every morning when I look out to the east, I see more and more yellow and gold on my lawn and less on my trees! I’m hoping that when all the leaves fall, I will be ready for winter! Don’t get me...

I awoke Sept. 1 way too early. It was the first day of hunting season and I didn’t want to be late. After a quick breakfast I loaded the dogs into the truck, double-checked my gear, and grabbed a...

We have been having some pretty good weather-----couple of little showers------a beautiful sunset on Sunday evening. Dora Henry had visitors this week, daughters of Elmer's, Sgt in the Marine Corps...

When filling up your car at the pump costs more than it used to, and the price of a gallon of milk soars, it’s nice to have someone to blame. Whoever is in office at the time typically catches the...

Sympathy for the victims of the tornadoes. That’s one thing we do not have in Montana. Late “Happy Birthday” to all the August birthdays especially to my granddaughter (Challise Young Hoffman)...

The weather has still been getting quite warm in the daytime----some nights have been cooler. This week we have been getting more smoke from the fires into the valley. School is in full swing again,...

My sunflowers don’t have much seed left, the yellow-headed blackbirds and the grackles took a big share! But the goldfinches still stop in and chatter with their soft voices each day. I had the...

Shortly after arriving in Montana as a homeless 18-year-old I remedied that situation by getting a job that provided room and board. After all, I had a skill. I could cook. I spent much of that first...

We have been having hot days again, but some mornings are downright cool. School has started again so things seem busier, so watch for the young ones while driving in town. Sometimes they forget to lo...

Sympathy for the victims of the fires. Be careful with Montana Fires. Get well to all who are sick, including Steve Young. Whitewater School is in session; it livens up the town. It was so different...

On August 30 and 31, we can enjoy a super blue moon! It’s a super moon because it will be closer to the earth, so it’ll appear larger, but not much to the naked eye. It’s called a blue moon...

Nearly seven months after the end of last year’s hunting season -- cut short by an old-man ailment -- I’m ready to go again. At least I think I am. Almost every morning for the last couple of mont...

This past week I was introduced to the Medicine Hat Lodge (MHL). What I didn’t know was that many people around here have experienced this hotel in Southern Alberta, as well as the many water...

Sympathy for the victims of the fires in Hawaii. Beware of all fires. Kyler Venable and Serena (his mom) were on the TV and radio this morning, thanking people for their generosity and donations...

Two days of intense heat, in the high 90s or low 100s! It almost did me in but the cool weather came in on Saturday and it was such a relief. It is still cool on Sunday, but the breeze is still...
