Hello, As is always said, old age is not good, but it is better than the other option. What made me think of this is my age. I’m getting old enough where I suppose I would be referred to as elderly. I used to think elderly was around 50, then I thought 60, then 70…Now I’m figuring it is in the early hundreds. I remember when Lynn turned 50. We were on the way to a rodeo and maybe had a cold beer. I toasted his birthday and Lynn said, “Just like a spare tire that’s never been out of the trunk!” I didn’t believe him. That tir...
My apologies for the late article! There have been some positive developments in my career that have delayed my submission of my Quarterly Legal Tip. I hope you will forgive my tardiness. Now on to the tip! Have you heard of the ABLE Savings Account? Do you know a fellow Montanan who is disabled and qualifies for programs such as Medicaid and SSI? Did you know that sometimes these programs make it difficult for individuals (or their families) to save money for their future or to provide themselves with things like employment...
I would like to share one comment as I begin; Bill Lavell and Madlon Brence mentioned one individual, Lee Bair, recently in their articles and it brought back my memories of this man. As I remember, he had lost a leg and became a salesman. As Madlon reports, Lee sold for Minnesota Woolen. Around 1950 or 1951, he came to our apartment where he measured and sold me a pair of dress trousers from Minnesota Woolen, which were delivered later with a perfect fit. I will now reflect on some past neighbors, Frank and Clara Nies, who...

My husband does the grocery shopping, but for decades I’ve provided him with a typed or computer generated grocery list. I may allow him to add to the list, but I always hope the store can provide all the other essentials I list. We went to Miles City and Baker last week, with lists for each town. I had an appointment with my neurologist to have Botox shots in my right hand, arm, and neck. The eye doctor was also in the building, and she had warned me macular degeneration was a problem with MS patients, so I needed to see h...
