A few weeks ago, I wrote a column about how I was getting nervous about finding a new home and the process of moving. After a few weeks of searching, we found a place and have already started packing things to be ready to move by the end of the month. Because we are moving somewhere smaller, we’ve already had to get rid of many things and spend a little time each day piling the things we will keep in various places around the house. As I navigated the mess that had become my closet the other day, I thought about a move years ago. I was l... Full story

It doesn’t matter the time of day. If I’m sitting in my recliner, I could grab a blanket and take a nap. Often, I don’t even need to be tired. The moment I sit in that chair, I’m ready for bed. There are plenty of afternoons when I’m waiting on information for a story or cannot find the right words to complete an article that I’ll sit down and be asleep within minutes. 30-minutes later, I will be awakened by the sound of a phone ringing or a cat being mischievous and find a nice puddle of drool. Things are entirely different at night. Perhaps s... Full story

A couple of years ago, we stopped at Stageline Pizza to get dinner before attending a Three Forks High School Football game. This was the first time we ordered the "Moose" pizza, and I'm thrilled we made that decision; it has been our go-to order since. Something unique about the combination of garlic and jalapenos makes me not want to order another pizza on the menu. If I find something I like at a restaurant, I don't need to try anything else. Perhaps this is close-minded thinking, but I don't... Full story
