Most parents can remember a Christmas or birthday where a toddler was more interested in a box then the gift within it.I don't remember being that child but no doubt I was at one time or another. I do remember as a child my parents getting a new appliance and I had so much fun turning the box int...

As evidenced by the shelters populations and ASPCA there are a whole lot of pets that are not getting the love that they should/deserve to get.While I hate their advertisements, the ASPCA serves a good function. I wish there were more laws on the books protecting animals. A good start would be to...

Now that we passed the Winter equinox it is essential you get ready for winter during our very short Fall season.Not to scare you but winter can strike at anytime. Several years ago (and I only remember it happening once) we had a winter storm in October that brought down trees, power lines and g...

First of all I am keeping my promise to show you more of Citizens Alley. Timmothy and I made a special trip over there and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of work put into the project. Citizens alley is connected to several businesses and on it's own it has a free movie area, splash pad,...

Both are held in Minot and they are held just two months apart.The Norsk Hostfest is the largest Scandinavian festival held in America. Just like everyone is Irish on Saint Patrick's D...

My non-Real Estate application to Timmothy's cartoon is when your pet is talking to you it's a good idea to try to figure it out (like my dog, Baby, saying "I need to go out"). Even more important is paying attention to what your spouse is saying (BTW a good reaction is NOT saying "what are you f...

I got a good LOL from today's comic strip by Timmothy.Somewhere along the line we ended up with a package like the one above. We have had it for years and on occasion have found a fun opportunity to use one or two. I never considered putting them on my eyelids while attending a NAR meeting or som...

The old expression of "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" still stands today. I'm sure there is a more modern phrase being the Baby Boomers may be the last generation to even know what grease is 😊.Sometimes being loud and persistent is the best or only way to get someone's attention. It's even bi...
