Christmas Project for Serendipity Animal Rescue

I am working on a fundraising project for the dogs! Ornaments with gift ideas for donations. We will hang them on a small tree so people can select a dog to donate to. This is what I came up with for the ornaments. I will cut them out and attach them to red or green colored paper, with a note on the…

Mother’s Day 2023

Today was a wonderful day filled with love, laughter, and delicious food. I decided to surprise my wife with a picnic by the creek, and it turned out to be a fantastic idea. Everyone pitched in to help make it a great day. We started our day by sending Mom and Grandma off to get their hair and nails…

Gypsy Wagon / Sheepherders Wagon

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, I lived in Montana. It was not unusual to see a sheepherders wagon out in the middle of nowhere. As a kid, I thought that would be the greatest thing to live in. As time passed and I got older I somewhat had forgotten about sheepherders wagons. My thoughts ha…

Not just any rocks we have lots of those, but rocks where the stream is. I call it a stream or creek but out here in the east, t…

The Farm – Dutton Montana

Back in the mid-1970s, when I was a young kid we lived outside of Dutton Montana, on a large farm. We did not farm the land. We rented the home and some of the land around. We were 12 miles from town and 2 miles down a dirt road off the highway. Our closest neighbors were 1 1/2 miles away through th…

At A Crossroads In Our Lives

Hopes For as long as I can remember, I have wanted a ranch and to build my own home. I wanted to have 100's or even 1000's of acres. Think of the Ponderosa Ranch from the Bonanza TV show. Because of life choices and now my bad knees/age, that is a dream that I know will not come to be. Really it's m…

Jericho Covered Bridge

Oliver had a meet and greet Sunday. Because I had to take my daughter back to school that day, I suggested the Historic Jerusalem Mill Village. I thought a park would be better than a shopping center for the meet and greet. I get to see another another covered bridge and explore a little and Oliver …
