Almost 2 years ago when I found out I was moving to Great Falls, MT to follow the F-15 fighter-jets and McGyver’s paycheck (they went hand in hand). I was excited to move closer to home (Washington State) and live someplace a lot less populated then the St. Louis area. Montana has a population of […]

My work center banded together to volunteer for our local NeighborWorks, I personally wasn’t keen on waking up early on a Saturday, but in the end it was a satisfying experience. AboutNeighborWorks in Great Falls: NeighborWorks® Great Falls (NWGF) is a non-profit organization with the mission of rebuilding historic Great Falls neighborhoods and creating home ownership […]
Announcing…..
I am a fortunate person. I work with many talented people. We may be a plasma donation center but the people who work there have talents that you wouldn’t expect to find. For example we have great cooks (besides me…), one of our staffers, even made it to the Pillsbury cook-off! We have people that […]
Another Fine Spring Day
At 5:00 am the wind blew so hard that it woke me up. I lounged in bed thinking “wow, the wind doesn’t usually wake me up”. Great Falls is typically on the top 10 list of most windy places and I guess I’ve acclimatized because it doesn’t wake me up. But not today. I tried going […]
I used to….
There was a time when I used to own a 1978 Land cruiser. See, we had been thinking about getting a third vehicle. The baby boy was almost 16, and that meant getting a drivers license. That meant he could finally taxi himself around and that would have been a good and a worrisome thing. We are not […]
Coming Soon
I’ve been working hard all day today to get ready for Easter and my posts for this week. When I went grocery shopping, what to my wandering eyes should appear? Meyer Lemons, lemony lemons, juicy lemony lemons. What a treat, I mean we just don’t get them here! Maybe things are a changen? Know what that […]
Dog Park Day
The dogs visited the local dog park for the first time. I loved rule #8 “…repeatedly rude owners will not be allowed in the park…” They had a side for little dogs and a side for big dogs. Summer went to the little dog side She ran, and ran and ran. Ooooh, look […]
Made in Montana Expo 2010
This has got to be one of my favorite events in Great Falls. Last year was my first year, I arrived about an hour before they closed, let’s just say, I learned my lesson. I planned on being there at 9:00 when it opened. I arrived at 10:30…I have a problem with time management….especially in […]
Mountain Debacle
Sunday, March 21, 2010 Our night in Fairmont was wonderful and breakfast in bed was pretty good too. We had to check out by 11:00 am, McGyver and I still had a whole day ahead of us. We wanted to get the most out of our romantic weekend, we discussed how we should spend the […]
Restructured Site
I really don’t know why/what happened with my site. I do know that I am having trouble with adding posts to my pages. As a result I will be deleting my “Ramblings” page and combining it with my home page. It will be “Recipes and Ramblings”, you’ll never know what you’ll get. I’ve moved my […]
