Like I made a conscious decision to walk through a doorway into...

Out our way, sometimes the end of the trail seems to never be found. I recall riding with Goliath along the nature trail in Beaver Creek. Shortly after the infamous culvert, the trail ends with a photo of Chief Rocky Boy and a fence. The fence marks the end of the park and the start of the Rocky Boy Reservation. One day in early fall, Goliath and I rode up to the fence and discovered it was actually a gate. It was not the end of the trail as we had thought - the trail...

We honor our earthly Fathers with special meals, a homemade card, candy, ties, something to tell Dad that he is important. We thank him for being there, fo...
Karrie and I have two toy poodles. We have a thirteen-year-old black poodle named Gigi and a fourteen and a half year old white poodle named Murphy. Murphy came under our care after our neighbor suffered a brain injury and could no longer keep her dog.

Murphy had to learn how to assimilate into our family and get along with Gigi. He had to learn not to make messes inside our home. M...

There’s a lot of romance when it comes to the U.S. Open.
