Coming soon: a weekend for reading cuz it's gonna rain a lot.
And, if you need some free reading about our area, Sandpoint Magazine will be on the racks around the community today.
The Winter 2022 edition arrived at Keokee (publisher) yesterday afternoon, and staff will be distributing copies around town, beginning this morning.
My timing was spot on yesterday because when I went to Keokee, a box of magazines had just arrived.
Publisher Chris Bessler was nice enough to give me a stack.
Within a few minutes, the staff at Selle Valley Carden School was thumbing through the pages looking for the short feature I had written, disclosing that the campus for the little red school house in the country had added another building this year: a classroom for seventh and eighth graders.
When I dropped off a couple of copies yesterday, the hay field next to the school was a hubbub of activity with an outdoor ski swap.
People were looking at clothes and other ski gear while kids raced about, dodging or, in one case, chasing a small herd of chickens foraging in the field.
As you'll see when you read the story, the school provides an education loaded with rural experiential opportunities.
I see from a video this morning that the barn behind the school served as setting for an impressive Veteran's Day assembly.
So, it was a busy day at Selle Valley Carden School, and seeing the feature about the school in Sandpoint Magazine added to the fun.
I've had a chance to thumb through the pages of this issue and have seen several must reads (including the feature where locals "were there" when history happened).
Stories about winter activities in the area abound, as do those about indoor delights, including fresh bread at the Bluebird Bakery in downtown Sandpoint.
So, if you're in town, drop by the usual venues where magazines are available. If you're not in town, you can google Sandpoint Magazine, specifically looking for the flip version of Winter 2022 and read every page online.
When the flip version appears, I'll add the link to this post, so check back.
Lots of fun reading for wet November days.

One of my "to do's" this week involved going to a dentist for a comprehensive dental exam. As mentioned before, a couple of flare-ups with TMJ triggered the visit. Plus, I hadn't been to a dentist in at least ten years. A shout-out goes to Dr. Greg Prins (also my neighbor) and his assistant Melissa at Mt. Baldy Dental. Very professional, meticulous and fun. Twas the most thorough dental exam I've ever had AND happily my teeth aren't doing badly for an old lady. Will need a filling and will have two wisdom teeth removed and then a deep cleaning. So, those maintenance projects will take place after the first of the year. For now, I'm impressed and pleased with the results of Wednesday's exam. |

While Bill attended the Lady ZAGS game in Spokane last night, the dogs and I hung out at home. And, yes, it was LOVE, watching them in deep November snoozes. Like the men's earlier games, last night's women's opener at the Kennel was a blow-out over Montana State. The Lady ZAGS play last year's national champion Stanford at McCarthey Athletic Complex Sunday, and I might just go with Bill to see that one. |
It's always fun driving down Selle Road and seeing these young ladies engaged in their horse activities.
From my observations, I'd say horses seem to cross over the road, depending on which young owner is hosting the fun.
Yesterday they were happily galloping together on the Elton Anderson farm.
Finally, there's puppy and cataract news at my friend Connie's house this week. Enjoy, and Happy Friday.
