Montana – Day 7

We end our first week with a cold rainy day, but we expected it. We girls have our glorious massages booked and head over to Spa Town in that steady rain. And into our warm individual tents. The table’s heated—ahhh. And that steady rain’s a calming kind of music now. My tech has good, strong … Continue reading Montana – Day 7 →

Montana – Day 6

So pretty for about half the day, then clouds and cool mostly. So we set up to paint inside. Ashley, our instructor and guide has painted a couple of choices, and we go with lovely Montana landscape. Let the fun begin. Canvases, paints, brushes. Jason takes Griffin duty first—early nap so the boy’s up—and gets … Continue reading Montana – Day 6 →

Montana – Day 5

We’re gifted with a perfectly beautiful day. Bold blue skies, light breeze, low 70s. There’s another bush between the lilacs, and I think—maybe—white lilac. Not sure, and the blooms are too high and on the other side of the fence so I can’t do the sniff test. But pretty. Lots of play time outside for … Continue reading Montana – Day 5 →

Montana – Day 4

Apothecarying’s fun! We have our class near Spa Town with those incredible views through glass walls. We start off making little lotion bars—custom as we choose our own scents or blend of scents. Measure, mix, melt. Sniff, sniff to decide how we want them to smell. I’m in love with the Huckleberry so easy choice … Continue reading Montana – Day 4 →

Montana Day 3

Switching it up this morning to do the blog before I see about squeezing a little work in as Kat, Kayla and I have a one o’clock. Paint time’s rescheduled. The artist had an emergency. Since it stayed fairly chilly, and we hope to do it outside, that’s all fine. Instead, we spent the bulk … Continue reading Montana Day 3 →

Montana — Day 2

A little time before dinner—and that wild wind—leaves time for a little three-handed Hearts inside. Kayla, Jason and me. Jason has incredibly bad luck. Barely missed running them—one card light. I tell him he played it well, so he lost correctly. * He’s well behind when we have to pause the game to change for … Continue reading Montana — Day 2 →

Montana Day 1 (and part of 2)

Good weather makes for a smooth flight—and makes me very happy. While our youngest passenger traveled extensively in his first year or so, Griffin hasn’t been on a plane since 2019. He loves it! The minute the plane startdd to taxi, he breaks out in a huge grin. Likes looking out the window—doesn’t take after … Continue reading Montana Day 1 (and part of 2) →

Forgotten in Death excerpt

A little surprise on this Tuesday morning — the Forgotten in Death excerpt! The body was left in a dumpster like so much trash, the victim a woman of no fixed address, known for offering paper flowers in return for spare change–and for keeping the cops informed of any infractions she witnessed on the street. … Continue reading Forgotten in Death excerpt →
