Mothers Day is coming up May 8th this year. Why not get Mom a book or art work from a local artist. May I suggest stopping by The Titus & Philemon art gallery at 201 Main Street South, Suite 100 (just inside the front door) Downtown Minot North Dakota.Timmothy's books will give mom 50 pages of la...

WARNING! This is not a one subject post (except it is all Easter related). Let's just say that in my 67 years I've never experienced a Easter/Holy week like this one. We had a record breaking snowfall over Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday that left the city paralyzed. Many streets were totally cl...

Carol and I have collected a lot of art over the years having had owned two public Art Galleries and having two active artists living under our roof BUT when I looked out the window last night I had to say to myself: "Now that is art!".Gotta love the full moon coming through the branches of a bar...

While waiting for The Dollar Tree to open we noticed this  little robin sitting on the parking lot looking as to say "what am I to do?

There is a lot of joy associated with Easter and their should be. The commercialism with chocolate Easter Bunnies and Easter Eggs is all fine with me along with Easter greetings as long as we are still made aware of why we are celebrating.You may be saying to yourself, or me, a child is not going...

We are "officially" at 21" now and half way through the storm. Timmothy and I have been out there twice today to clean up and with the 60 some years of storms I've seen I'd have to say this is in the top 5 already for sure.Virtually anything scheduled for Thursday has been called off and many of ...

I was looking forward to sleeping in this morning being we were forewarned by the weatherman that we were going to receive a record breaking amount of snow over the next three days. A NO TRAVEL warning was put out by law enforcement. The clown in the 4 wheel drive above did not get the message.We...

I don't know how old you have to be to remember your parents buying or at least listening to these music collections by Readers Digest and other big names in music (yes Readers Digest was a big name in music collections).I can tell you that I'm 67 and these records were a staple in our household....
