A Blest Week
We just had the privilege of a week with our son here in Ennis, MT. We loved every minute of that precious time together. While the skies were smoky each day (you couldn’t even see the mountains through the smoke), and it didn’t begin to clear until the day he was leaving, we didn’t let that deter us from having a good time.



Sharing meals together was highlighted by great conversations






Ty’s flight was delayed and he had a challenging set of flights and car trouble… but God made sure his needs were met and he was home that night safe & sound.


We were blessed indeed to have such a blest week!
Love,

Pinch Me
We say, “Pinch me” when we see something too beautiful or experience something too wonderful to be real. Yesterday I needed you to pinch me more than once.




A great day and I wish you coulda joined me.
Beautiful Madison Range


Such a gorgeous evening to sit out on the deck!
Love, JanBeek

I Love Montana!





We are so blessed! Have you watched the Netflix series called “The Madison”? Much of that was filmed right here in our fly fishing Mecca: Ennis.




Yes, we love Montana! Such a wonderful place to live. Come visit!
Love,
Janbeek (& Bob)

Wonderful Week
We just had the most wonderful week with my cousin and his wife. Adrian & Laura were such fun to have around.


They are DeAngelis (my maiden name) “of angels” – apropos!!

They are spending a week in Yellowstone




We were privileged to watch the parade from dear friends, Roy & Barbara Washburn’s lovely place. Such gracious, generous people!





Wish you coulda joined us!
Hugs,

Beautiful Montana






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

Treat from the Kids
Our son, Ty in CA, and our daughter, De in Switzerland , combined forces and bought us a gift certificate for Mother’s Day to one of our favorite Bozeman, Montana restaurants: Dave’s Sushi. Today we used it with great delight!


Who do you think enjoyed theirs more??

Cheers! My Bliss roll was magnificent! But we both equally enjoyed the house red … a delightful blend.
Look at those sushi rolls again.

And we had enough left on our gift certificate to give Thomas , our terrific waiter, a nice tip.
Thank you, Thomas. Thank you, kids! We’re so glad you made me a mother!!
Now tomorrow we’re headed to Chattanooga. Stay tuned, my blogging friends. I’ll let you travel along vicariously.
We’re praying for warmer weather in Tennessee. It’s been a crazy May here in Montana. Today we had gray breezes, restless puffy clouds, snow, rain, and then bright sunny skies…. All within 5 hours in Bozeman. Crazy!!!
Hugs,
JanBeek

Help!

We live in a beautiful place with a beautiful view and wonderful neighbors.
Our property has about 4 acres and in the center of those is where our house sits surrounded by 13 evergreen trees.
The lawn and trees require a lot of care to keep the trees healthy year round and the sprinkler system working in the spring, summer and fall.
This is the time of year when turning the sprinklers back on and repairing broken ones and adjusting the direction of the water’s flow has to happen.
We couldn’t possibly do all this by ourselves.
Thank God for the helpful guys in our “hood” who volunteer their services annually because without their help, I’m sure we would find it very difficult to live here!

My Morning Visitor

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
