Live, Love, and Enjoy all the mmmm you can!

If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?

Our Kenny looks very much like this Boston. And at 2 years of age he still is very much a puppy! Even though he has calmed down some, his energy level still creates a challenge at times.

How about your pet? What would the first words be? Kenny’s other “first words” would be: LET’S PLAY!
Hugs,

What’s the best local dish you’ve ever eaten while traveling?
My son-in-law, André Solioz, is a phenomenal chef. When we travel to Switzerland to be with him, our daughter, and their family, his food is to die for!! The local dish is cheese fondue and it’s wonderful. But his specialty that I love is a pork roast. Oh, he creates it in such a mouth-watering way. You’d love it! But, his dishes all are amazing!

Hugs, JanBeek

Happy 2nd birthday to our pup, Kenny!!
Every morning I interact on WhatsApp with my daughter, De, in Switzerland and bonus daughter, Laina, who lives near Baltimore. We exchange love, lives, pictures of our loved ones, and weather reports.

Leo’s parents are happy about sharing his face on social media. Laina, his grama, knows how to make him smile. He’s such a happy baby.



And that baby up there looks a lot like Ethan did at that age. He’ll be 2 end of October. We hope to go there to celebrate with him. We were there for his one week birthday! But two years is a long time not to be able to see your great-grandson. He won’t know us 😩



It’s not like he doesn’t have enough toys and chew sticks of his own!


Kenny loves Yak Sticks. Do you know about them?



Only thing harder to train than a pup might be a baby… or a husband?

The dog trainer told us “No” is not understood. It’s just paying attention and giving his positive attention for negative behavior. Oh my! We’ve spent two years reinforcing bad habits. Help!

Enjoy babies & dogs? I sure do!







Have you watched any of the TV series called “The Madison”? It’s filmed right here in and around Ennis.

Love, JanBeek


We seldom see moose in our neighborhood during the day. They sometimes come down out of the mountains at night to nibble on our evergreens when their natural habitat up in the Gravellies or the Madison Range is snow covered. But this guy showed up in broad daylight.

He had a ragged spot in his back and a bum leg. Probably had been injured by some other animal that attacked him.
After I got Kenny back inside, Bob & I chased the young moose off to the neighbor’s. He was nibbling on our trees! Fortunately, after I contacted the neighbor and explained, he called the animal protective services. Hopefully they came to help… I don’t want to think about how.
What do you think?

Love, JanBeek

Wish you were with us now!
Ennis, Montana
Madison County
Yes, it’s everything “The Madison” shows you (minus the F word)…
Ah, that’s so unnecessary! And offensive.
Clean air. Clean mouth. Clean river. Great fishing. Perfect place to live and take a walk.
Ah, yes!
Love, JanBeek

Yay!! Today’s snow is an answer to prayer. We have desperately needed the moisture. Isn’t it beautiful?

And our Kenny absolutely loves it!
Have a beautiful Thursday afternoon/evening, my friends.
I attended an art workshop this week. We all painted butterflies. 🦋 Mine’s not as good as I had hoped, but I had fun doing it. That’s what counts, right?
Love, JanBeek
