I love my outdoor solar lights, especially after a snow.
With increasing daylight, they are brightening up the evening hours a few minutes more every day.
It should be a breath-taking experience at Schweitzer today.
Almost three feet of new and welcome snow.
It's a winter wonderland in the valley too.
We're beginning to wonder when the snow will quit falling.
Never quite happy when it comes to weather, I guess.
Everyone was begging for snow, but after having semi-spring for more than a month, we're starting to feel like we don't need a third or fourth helping of snow.
One or maybe two helpings are enough for those of us down on the flats, thank you.
Even IF it's pretty!
My friend Chris and I met for lunch yesterday at Sweet Lou's Restaurant.
After a great visit, discussing aches, pains, woes of the world and life in general, we spent some time looking at her new set of wheels, a pretty white Subaru.
Nice car, Chris.
Below: While we were at Sweet Lou's yesterday, Andy and his crew from Panhandle Special Needs came into the restaurant.
It was social day, said Andy, who retired a while back as the local Presbyterian minister.
I called Maria this week to tell her about something new I'm launching, Monday, February 23rd.
A show built around one simple question: Who believed in you ...
---David Begnaud
“The Person Who Believed In Me” with David Begnaud asks leaders and
changemakers one question: Who believed in you before the world did?
David Begnaud is often called “America’s Storyteller.”
An award-winning
journalist known for compassionate, human-first reporting, he highlights
everyday people, quiet acts of kindness, and moments that restore hope.
"The Person Who Believed In Me" features well-known guests sharing the
untold story of the person who believed in them before they were
successful.
The conversations are raw, relatable, and unexpected.
Different industries.
Different paths.
Same question.
Who believed in
you before anyone else did?
Do Good Crew is the community behind the show, built around connection
and optimism through podcasts, live events, and weekly uplifting
stories.
I've always loved the stories CBS news reporter David Begnaud has told.
Yesterday I saw that he is launching this new podcast series called "The Person Who Believed in Me."
If there are stories to be told on this topic, I'm sure they are endless because, happily, for pretty much every person who made something of themselves, someone along the way believed in them.
It's neat that these people will get some recognition, thanks to David Begnaud's efforts and his amazing story telling.
So, here's a question for readers to contemplate and maybe comment: who's the person or persons who believed in you?
In my case, Bob Hamilton and Eleanor Delamarter stand out.
I never became a success as a seamstress, but the patience and optimism Eleanor displayed hour by hour as I sat at her sewing machine in her bedroom trying to learn how to sew.
I never learned how to sew very well, but became an expert at ripping out mistakes.
Through it all, Eleanor showed me exemplary and saintly patience.
We don't have too many people in our lives willing to devote so much time for our benefit, especially if the chances we'll ever succeed at that discipline are pretty dismal.
It was a different story with Bob Hamilton. He recognized a desire of a clutzy kid who couldn't do much of anything else well to succeed in journalism.
His approach was quiet and measured but resounding. I have never forgotten the day he pulled me outside the journalism classroom and asked me if I would consider serving as editor of the Cedar Post newspaper.
We were standing outside a closed classroom door, but that moment represented a door that had just opened and a believer who launched me along my life's journey, doing something I truly loved.
So, this bad seamstress and devoted writer/journalist will never forget these two individuals who, in different ways, showed me that they believed in me.
In so doing, I began to believe in myself.
If you listen to podcasts, be sure to check out David Begnaud's new series.
It should be inspiring.
Coach Madi Schoening's Sandpoint High women's basketball team is moving closer to another possible State Championship.
The Bulldogs earned big win in their state tournament opener yesterday, defeating the Bishop Kelly Knights of Boise.
Today they try to get one step closer toward the State Championship in a semi-final matchup with Blackfoot.
Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. MST.
Good luck, Bulldogs. Nip those Broncos!
Later, the Sandpoint High men's team sets off on their road to a possible State berth.
Coach Will Love's Bulldogs host the Lakeland Hawks at Les Rogers Gym with tip-off scheduled for 6 p.m. PST.
Let's fill the gym tonight with red and white and Bulldog spirit!
If Sandpoint wins, they'll travel south on Tuesday to play whoever wins tonight between Moscow and Lewiston.
A win on Tuesday would mean a State berth.
If not, they would play again next Saturday in Grangeville, tipping off against a Southern Idaho team.
Big day for the Bulldog men and women!
Let's hope it's a good one.
