Happy Birthday McGyver, how old are you? McGyver holds up his hand and starts with the thumb, 1966, then the index finger, 1976, the middle finger, 1986, the ring finger, 1996 and finally the pinky, 2006. Let’s see now it’s 2011, so 2006 to 2011 is 5 years, “I’m 55”. Isn’t it great that after […]

The Great Fundraising Act
I met Susan through my daughter Leah. Susan and Leah have been blogger friends for awhile, she was super excited to introduce me to her at the Foodbuzz Festival in November 2011. The moment I met Susan I instantly liked her. Her warm and sincere personality was immediately evident. She had a quick and easy […]
A Cowboy Grill and a Brisket
Rustic living means rustic entertaining. Our cabin has finally been finished off enough to be comfortable and McGyver, the Baby boy and I worked hard to get the outside area cleaned up. Our motivation to clean-up? I had invited our year-round neighbors over for dinner. If you remember my last post, my spit chicken the […]
Chicken on a Spit=Epic fail!
Now that the Safari is done and weather is cooperative, we’ve been able to head up to the cabin. McGyver and I went up one weekend on our own and got it ready for this year’s use. It was a quick overnighter, nothing to exciting, just relaxing mostly. While we were up there, I decided […]
An Adventure of a Lifetime and Oepsies
Remember my first post of our African adventure, and then part deux? Time for my last post on our adventure, the third part of our adventure takes us to a big hole and a coffee fountain. When I had won the bid for the safari, I found out that my friend, TMP was from the […]
Motorcycle Monday: Togetherness
Some things are just meant to be together!
An Adventure of a Life Time and Puff Adder
Part Deux from my post last week, when Mcgyver and I embarked on An Adventure of a Life Time. After finishing our time at Camp Wag ‘n Bietje, Frikkie loaded us and our gear up, I was comfortable smashed in the “extended” part of his small pick-up. In retrospect I probably should have just rode […]
An Adventure of a Lifetime
A few weeks ago, when all was right with my world, McGyver and I embarked on an adventure of a lifetime. Honestly, we never dreamed that we would be going on an African safari. The seed was planted several years ago shortly after we moved to Great Falls. My friend TMP was from South Africa […]
And like that, life changes
Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been MIA. A random tweet, a quick peruse every few days through Facebook and my Google Reader but nothing more. Not a post in a week, a few comments on other blogs, not much of anything else tough. Why? Even after returning from an adventure of lifetime, […]
Out of Africa
I know, I know, a corny title. I can’t help it, it’s true. McGyver and I recently got back from a Safari in South Africa, we stayed near Kimberly and had an incredible experience. I have zillions of photos; I am currently sorting through them as I have time. I This is my first experience […]
