The Hettinger County Fairgrounds had a Moto Cross “Derby” (not quite sure what to call it) on Sunday. I’d been anxious to go and play with the camera. I have not had any opportunities to push my and the camera’s limits in this kind of “fast-paced” environment. IT WAS FUN!!! My 100-400mm L lens was [...]

Here we all sit, “hunkered down” comes to mind. Brian walked in from work with the news we were under a tornado watch starting at 6:45pm…it was 6:30 when Brian walked in. The National Weather Service was watching a weather pattern that started about 30 miles south of Dickinson outside a town called New England [...]

Yesterday was Brian’s scheduled Monday off work. We had some errands to run in Dickinson so we were all up and out the door early so we could get everything done, but also get home at a reasonable time and not feel like the whole day was shot. During the leisurely drive to Dickinson, Brian [...]

(this one is for you John!) We were originally scheduled to be in our house next week! Have I mentioned how crazy this itty, bitty rental is making me? I have so many bumps and bruises from the too small kitchen, the bunk bed that I seem to crash into all the time, the sore [...]

Apparently, I’ve moved to “tick country” and they (the native North Dakotans in my family) neglected to tell me about this fun little fact until after I was already here! Needless to say, I was in shock! And had a [...]

Yep…it’s official…Brian is now the proud owner of a tractor! OH MY GOD! He’s been shopping for a tractor for a year. He’s been trying to convince me that we would need a tractor for the land we planned to move onto. All last summer he tried to convince me that we would need to [...]

Something Kenny, my brother-in-law, said last summer really struck me yesterday. We have had a lot of rain the last two days, freezing rain. Seeing as this is a largely rural comunity where there are dirt roads, usually the dirt roads have a layer of gravel, but because of all the rain and snow this [...]

Yes, it is snowing in Mott, ND, in June! The two Las Vegans who are not used to seeing too much snow, woke up at the “butt crack” of dawn to play in it. I didn’t venture too far cuz I’m still in my pjs, but David through on his Dad’s winter clothes and went [...]

My niece, Danielle, is staying with us this Summer while she works here, in Mott. She is putting in lots of time at the Poolside, named because it’s on the west side of the community pool? The Poolside is also called “The Drive-In”. No, there isn’t a movie screen, nor are there little islands you [...]
