Yard Sale/Garage Sale: a sale of used household or personal articles (such as furniture, tools, or clothing) held on the seller's own premises. The long-anticipated 40-Mile Yard Sale that is becoming an annual favorite, finally arrived this Friday, along with an unexpected cool and wet front that threatened to put a damper on things. But these are hearty Montanans, and what's a little weather?! The 3-day event again featured garage sales from Wolf Creek to Ulm and places in between; and the...
Reminiscent of the 1987 movie, "The Untouchables", starring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, and Robert DeNiro, there was a caravan of what looked like 30 or 40 vintage cars from the 1920s that rolled in through town in Cascade, and then on to the Recreation Road. This reporter tried to catch up with the "trail boss" to get some information, but was unable to catch up with the man; those cars were really "moving"! Instead, I followed them all the way up to Hardy Creek where I stopped to take some...
Out in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming I passed a “vehicle”. I’m not positive that’s the correct term although I guess it has to be. It looked as if it were cobbled together out of the wrecked carcasses of at least two cars and one flatbed truck. The exhaust system seemed to have come from the discarded chimney pipe from an antique wood stove. I am not mechanically inclined and wouldn’t want to get more than a mile away from a good garage in such a contraption and, yet, it was many miles fro...

Celebrations can be great fun. I know that most of us today are celebrating the founding of our country. July 4, 1776, is one of the greatest days in man’s history in my opinion. The best one was the day Jesus came out of the tomb and guaranteed victory for all who believe in Him! The second-best day of celebration for me was the day in the spring of 1971 that I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior. I must say it took several decades for me to truly appreciate the value that is to me. I still am learning what a great thing it is to be a C...
The Dearborn Garden Club met on June 19 with the anticipated speaker, Eric Tillman, head of the Montana Ag Education program of OPI. Unfortunately, he had to cancel at the last hour, due to work commitments, but he had notebooks of information prepared for his program on Montana Pollinators. Garden Club member, Carol Brady, stepped up and delivered the information he had and led a members discussion, with questions and answers and sharing of individual experiences with pollinators in their...
Have you ever really realized just how important the 4th of July is? So many think of it as day of picnics, day at the beach or lake. Not many see this as a “freedom day,” that we should be thankful for because of those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and lived through horrendous hardships. If you look at the Fourth of July as a holiday “owed” to you, then you’re missing the whole point of freedom. Freedom came at a cost and we have forgotten what this cost entailed. They declared their freedom. They declared the freedom of these...
