The expression “it takes a village to raise a child” has always been true, but recently I was reminded that it takes a child to show us what truly matters. My six-year-old grandson has “lost” someone very precious to him. Linden didn’t misplace his special friend; she didn’t move away […]

My first Bassmaster Classic experience over the past week in Birmingham, Alabama was pretty amazing. Although my results were not great, finishing 31st out of a field of 53 anglers, the whole week will go down as one of the highlights of my fishing career. A lot of great memories […]

These will most undoubtedly include items such as green tinted beverages like beer and milkshakes for example. Although this may be an amusing way to recognize St. Patrick, the […]
When Pat, Roger and family moved into the summer cottage, converted into a year round house, a good portion of the local mouse population moved in as well. It’s nearly impossible to make a tight, new home, mouse proof. An old house is like grand central station for the residents […]
I am hoping that the nasty wind that appeared March 1 counts as “March coming in like a lion” and things are only going to be better from here. I can’t really complain though because really the weather has been pretty decent. Calving has been steady, and I have appreciated […]
Our season is changing. The sun’s radiant heat is pushing back the snow banks. Our major streets are now snow and ice free. Creeks and small streams are again gurgling over rocks and sand bars. Driving over the causeway, one can see ice fishermen in portable canopies fishing along reefs […]
