This weekend we went up to the cabin, like we do most of the Summer time. This time McGyver suggested we go for a stroll through the woods. A stroll through the nice shady woods on a hot summer day, who could resist. We loaded up in the Rhino and Becca was coming along (Summer […]

Motorcycle Monday: European Honeymoon
I’m not very sentimental and I don’t really like to dwell on the past, but mine and McGyver’s Honeymoon was one of the best times I’ve ever had in my life. I love McGyver, I love traveling, I love motorcycles, I loved, loved, loved our honeymoon through Europe on a bike. And because I loved […]
Motorcycle Monday: Honeymoon on a Harley
I’ve been pretty lax lately on keeping up with my posts, especially Mondays. Spending every weekend up at the cabin and loads of visitors and many more excuses, time seems to slip through my fingers like sand. I’ve been meaning to recount mine and McGyver’s honeymoon. We did 13 countries in 10 days on a […]
Chaos and Kisses
Wowser, it’s been a hectic couple of weeks. Finally our much anticipated visit from our granddaughter and her Mom and Dad was upon us. This was their first visit to Montana, a whirlwind chaotic visit to be sure. You know how you’ve got things planned out? A sort of itinerary to keep focused. Let’s just […]
Motorcycle Monday: Motorcycle Mama
If you are as old as me, you will remember these famous actresses and their motorcycle scenes (watch the video below). One of the actresses is Pinky Tuscadero. I can remember thinking that Pinky Tuscadero was so cool, I wanted t o be just like her without all the pinky parts. Maybe it was the […]
Happy Birthday McGyver and a Honey Jack Lemonade Recipe
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 […]
