It’s a small town Montana thing…….

This is a …I love the quirky village I live in post…continue at your own peril…..

We are lucky in respect to where we live and work.

He gets to work here:

In the oilfields of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

And I get to live in my quirky, beautiful village here in the middle of nowhere Montana.

I realize this does not always happen.

Today I would like to share with you some of the reasons

THIS IS THE PLACE FOR ME

First of all I will draw you in with some shots of the breath taking scenery---

Next I will ensnare you with the endearing quirky things that will make you want to book your flight to Montana tomorrow:

I hope you can tell what this is cuz its a treasure---you’ll find it staring out the window of the Laundromat.

Our grocery store parking lot is usually full of these—just hanging around. No leashes.

One time I didn’t see the dog when I got out of my car and as I came around the end of my car….

…. it let out this horrendously deep bark….

to which I screamed like a sissy girl…

….. threw my purse in the air…

….fell to my knees….

….. and about wet my pants.

Thankfully that little morsel has stayed between me and the dog right up until this very moment—what can I say—I’m a sharer.

And there is always a bunch of these but they have always been much more polite-----

This magical store is found on Main Street and my favorite part about it is that white sale sign is out front every.single.day.

This is my favorite mailbox in the WHOLE WORLD…

And this is my favorite thing my kids have ever done to occupy themselves:

And then for my final push—that sales pitch that will bring it home-----

Can you see it? The little gem tucked over there on the left? Here, let me help you……

YEP--I know—no words. it’s okay—take a moment………….

…prepare yourself for the final piece of wonderfulness that will have you loading your wagons and heading to Montana post haste--------

Because somewhere in the middle of nowhere Montana people actually dress like this AND they are NOT in a Star Wars movie.

You know you wanna touch that hat…..see if it is made to fit…..

I LOVE where I live.
