Montana Prairie Adventures: Color Edition Paperback – March 17, 2015

Although I lived less than twelve years on our farm on the northeastern Montana prairies, out of all the places I have lived, it still holds the most treasured place in my heart. My memories and feelings for the farm have been nurtured and kept vivid through the years by visits to the farm with my wonderful wife Sue, and our five children, Christel, Shaun, Aimee, Myles, and Carin. We would often meet Mom and Dad and sometimes my sister Dory and her husband Al, and their children, as well as my “Big brother” Myles along with his wife Gayle and their family. Just thinking about the farm makes me feel homesick for the old buildings and farm animals, for the windy prairie and its wildlife, the many memories of my childhood adventures, and most of all for my wonderful family. But I can never share it again with my mom and dad who have both gone on to be with the Lord. We could hardly have been any poorer, but I never knew it back then. That realization came later as I began to grow up, and life became more complicated. While I was still on the farm, all I knew was the love and security of my home and family, and all those daily childhood adventures. Now I’d like to try to take you, my wonderful friends and family, back with me to those delightful days of yesteryear through the pages of this book. But not all the stories I am sharing with you are from when I was just a little boy. Some of my childhood stories led me to recall later memories and stories also. But I think you will enjoy hearing those as well!2nd Edition note: It has been nearly ten years since I first published Montana Prairie Adventures. I thought it was time to make corrections to the grammar and punctuation errors which were missed in the first edition and write an update on our lives. See the new Chapter 12, ‘The Last Chapter?’ Plus I knew it would be fun reliving those childhood adventures once again. Some of my teenage activities are not as much fun, but many are. If this is your first time reading my book, I’ll let you discover that for yourself. Read more
