This last summer I walked the streets where once, I drove a maroon colored Mercury, Up and down Main, it was so endlessly, Good to kids back then, an accepted stunt. Learning to drive on icy street, no fuss, It was as fun as fun might always be, Turning by the “Cop Shop” so carefully, It, as American, as one can trust. Memories bubble, ones not to discuss, Of those nights with the eight-track tape playing, And we’d talk of teenage life gleefully, It’ll always stay in me, a total plus. There are memories one might which t...

One of Big Timber, Montana's most renowned residents, Gwen Petersen, closed the gate just 5 days before her 94th birthday last week. I am so thankful that my "Ode to Coveralls" poem that referenced her ran before she passed, and her beloved friend, Elaine Allestad, took it to her bedside so her sidekick in poetry and life, Sandy Sallee, could read it to her. Gwen was a great writer of the western lifestyle and a truly one of a kind character who will be sorely missed, but she will live on through her rhymes and rhetoric. The...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know Lord, when looking out at the starry sky, a song comes to mind: “My Lord! What a Morning!”[1] (From Rev. 6:12-13: … when the stars begin to fall). A glimpse of falling stars is the Perseid Meteor shower, in early August {HEY! – it’s still Feb.!}. When we were kids out on the ranch, we’d locate the North Star with the help of the Big Dipper, among the host of twinkling stars. We just missed seeing the Southern Cross flying home from Australia one year. Both the North Star and the Southern...
