Throw some Clay and Shoes this summer
Learning is a life-long journey. It doesn’t end after high school graduation or as you walk across the stage to receive your Bachelors or Masters degree. Cracking open a book and studying is one “thrilling†way to learn new topics, but if your interested in getting some hands on education, consider taking a little different …
Get involved and inspired
Heading in an out of gift shops and boutiques, I’ve always found that golf seems to be quite the inspiration for some artists and crafters. Picture courtesy of: recycledsculpture.com (My kind of sculpture! It multi-tasks and provides inspiration in two forms: golf/wine!) With more luck putting holes in the grass than getting a hole-in-one, …
Take time for You
Memorial Day weekend is coming up which means plenty us will be attending graduations, family outings, or heading for a quick weekend getaway.

Good Times and Good Country Tunes
Whether you are in a good mood, bad mood, celebrating successes, or stroking your failed ego nothing makes a person feel better then cranking up the radio. As my semester came to a close this spring, and the black hole of the job market began sucking me in, I found myself only able to relax …
We love Moms
I couldn’t tell you who get’s the better end of the deal on Mother’s day. Moms get funny cards with sweet, love-filled messages and fabulous gifts; while their kids are blessed with a personal cheerleader, janitor, psychiatrist, sous chef, executive assistant, chauffeur, etc….all rolled into one snuggly person they can call Mom. How do you thank a person …
Libraries, Libraries, and MORE Libraries!
Unless you do not happen to live in a fifty mile radius of Grand Forks, you have heard about the vote for the Library tax occurring on May 3rd. Now, I am not one to delve into politics, and if you are interested, the Grand Forks Herald has written some wonderful articles giving the pros …

A Royal Affair!
I can not seem to understand why we Americans are so obsessed with the Royal Family. I wonder if it is because we envy what our big brother has, even though that’s why there was a little war about 228 years ago, or if every little boy and girl dreams of becoming a prince or …
classic country and a little bit of cash
I didn’t grasp the true greatness of Johnny Cash until I watched the film, Walk the Line. Sadly even my Elvis impersonation was more based on Forrest Gump than the actual King of Rock ‘n Roll. This wasn’t because of my lack of knowledge regarding music history, but because I was more concerned with whether or …
