Hello, This is the time of the year for outdoor cooking. I don’t care if you are going to the lake, a rodeo, or just an evening at home. A lot of people will pack a grill and groceries when they go on vacation. They will go on vacation and cook! I guess the women in our family are a bit different. Carm said if they go on vacation she is ordering out. She is not going on vacation to cook. The last time they went on a 4-H trip all the other families brought grills and salads. She brought pop tarts and licorice. Shirley was like...
"As I looked across the rolling expanse of prairie, filled with the beauty of a Montana sunset, I sent up a little prayer of thanksgiving from my heart for this our very first home.

I will have at least one more article on Bob and Grace Renshaw. I last wrote about how Bob had left the homestead, been elected Clerk and Recorder, rented the Lane property, and eventually moved to their permanent home in Ekalaka in 1931. Like most of us, he reports that they paid “monthly installments.” I remember, especially as a grade schooler, what a beautiful yard and home they had. There was always lots of work for the new clerk and recorder and he named the following people who helped him in his office: Eddie Syk...

I have written my story about fish and seafood being my favorite protein. That is a bold statement to make in beef country, but people used to feel sorry for me, so I could get away with it. I’ll see if that still works. My mother loved to fish and bring the catch to the house. We had catfish and bass, never trout, and they were delicious. I remember one particular time when Mom’s relatives were visiting: her parents, Aunt Betty, Uncle Merle, and infant daughter, Melanie. I didn’t know anything about babies, but they left...
