A "green Christmas" in NW Montana? 6 Replies
Could be. The long range forecast shows daily highs above freezing and nothing in the forecast. This is my 29th Christmas here and only recall maybe once without snow. After last year, I'll be shedding no tears if I see grass. There is just a…Continue

Good riddance to Summer... 5 Replies
Too hot, too dry, too smoky, but no fires within 30 miles. Garden a bust. But...no wasps, hornets or yellow jackets. Guess there's an upside to anything. Hope yours was better.Continue

A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the four pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.
"Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."
"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.
"I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"
"Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle. "Here, Dolly!" he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.
Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid.
Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up...
"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."
With that, the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."
With tears in his eyes, the farmer reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy.
"How much?" asked the little boy.
"No charge," answered the farmer, "There's no charge for love."

This is the message I got in e-mail from PartTimeBrewer.
A message from PartTimeBrewer to all members of Boomerville Friends on TBD!
I just want to inform the group about my recent absence from activity here. I have been reluctant to say anything, but I have been undergoing treatment (radiation and chemotherapy) for oral cancer. The treatment has ended and I am slowly recovering. It is too early to know for sure, but it seems to be gone. They estimated 80-90 percent odds of a total cure. Right now I have to be weaned off a feeding tube directly into my stomach. It's really weird to have to learn to enjoy eating again. Hopefully, I can resume normal activities soon, including keeping up with social media.

Oh, ok; still can't figure out why his other message is not showing up here, though.
