Gotta make a run to the city today – it’s time to pick up some provisions that aren’t as readily available in my small town. We have been trying to do most of our shopping locally to help our...

Had a pretty low key weekend, which was nice, and I think the last remnants of the cold have finally shaken off. It is still frustrating that I am finally where I have always dreamed, but am now physically...

Memory is a funny thing. Last night, I had a hankering for a Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carl’s Jr., a primarily west coast fast food eatery. There was one where I lived in Idaho, but here in Montana there’s...
