It's impossible to live in a military community and not develop a great respect for those who serve.  Until I moved to Minot ND I really had little to no contact with military personnel. Because of the Minot Air Force Base the city of Minot is immersed in military personal and culture. It's a bea...

Granted, we all say stupid things and wish we could take our words back.Did he really say that? When you read a lot of political stuff, as I do, you come across a lot of ridicules statements. It takes a real doozie to get my attention today as I now subscribe to the thought: “How do you know when...

The Minot North Dakota Sertoma Club sponsors a holiday light show every year at Oak Park. This years light show runs November 26th - January 1st. During yesterdays photo walk I noticed they were busy preparing for the show.Seeing the "Happy New Year" sign that is at the end of the drive made me t...

We had a beautiful day here in Minot ND with temperatures far above normal. Timmothy wanted to try out his new camera and I always love the opportunity to use mine.

Dear Resident... ranks right up there with Occupant, Box Holder, Hey You, and Butt Head doesn't it.I though...

I Love you... FALLIn six plus decades I've never said I love you Fall. That is until this week as I've been contemplating the challenge put forth by Kathy Streib . As a matter of fact I'm well known to have said I hate fall because it means that winter is just around the corner.Yesterday I had an...

Don't forget the Downtown Minot HauntsIf you are looking for well decorated properties or for Halloween cards and gifts don't forget about Downtown Minot. Here are a few window scenes I shot just this morning. We don't have much for window display space at the Titus & Philemon Art Gallery but Tim...
