The lengths to which I’ll go have increased immensely. Barb and I took a trip to town yesterday. Although we live smack dab in the middle of one, with a population less than 2,000, Malta doesn’t always offer what we need. Billings, 200 miles to the south, usually does. We’ll drive down there without giving it a second thought. My family didn’t travel like that when I was a kid. I grew up in Evansville, a Billings-size city in southern Indiana. It had everything we wanted so there was no need to...

September came in hotter than ever! Our skies were quite clear until the 4th, when clouds and smoke rolled in. It was really thick and smelly! The smoke is from fires in Oregon, and the other side of the divide. I hope the firefighters can get those fires out soon! My sister Debbie drove up from Billings to spend time with me. We were invited to Cindy Clark’s for dinner on Friday. Carol Lumsden also enjoyed the special birthday dinner for me, Dixie Stordahl! Carol and Pete Lumsden took a pair o...
School has started again so more kids are seen around on bikes and four wheelers (with more than two on them usually). So far they have been driving more slowly and not racing as much. We are still having some record hot days and the nights are getting cooler all the time. We have had frost around Labor Day some years but so far have been lucky this year. Glenn Dolphay has been keeping busy with his backhoe helping people repair sewer and water lines. Even helped me get my riding mower out of...
