summer

Visit any small, touristy town in Montana and odds are good that you will find at least one drive-up restaurant that is a "must stop".

Summer is in the air and Softie's Ice Cream Shop is open. As I was cruising around the other night (well driving like the middle aged woman I am) I noticed that Softie's on the corner of Broadwater and 24th Street West is open.

In the first years of my life, I had a dairy allergy. Even having a teaspoon of milk would give me a three day ear infection. So I had my bowl of Cheerios with soy milk, and orange sherbet was the only option when the family stopped at an ice cream parlor.

Does it scare any of you out there that health officials are telling people to shower BEFORE you get into the swimming pool?

I often think of spending time with my kids at Crystal Lake in the Snowies.

Montana summers may be short, but we get the most out of every day with a never ending list of events you and your family can attend. This weekend is no exception with more things to do than time to do it.

It looks like we may have now turned the corner on summer. Forecasts have a little dry period heading our way, for about a week.

Today is National Hot Dog Day, so I looked some things up.

My daughter is already at the age where dolls don't get a lot of attention, but she loves making things, so this seems like a good fit. Honestly...anything to get her making something other than slime.

The last few days of June is filled up with events going on around the Magic City. Here are some family-friendly activities you can enjoy before the calendar flips to July.

Here comes another summer concert you won't want to miss. Country singer-songwriter Kip Moore will stop at the Pub Station on Wednesday, July 31 at 8pm.

I grew up in an era with lots of Summer Camp movies. Meatballs, Ernest Goes To Camp, Camp Nowhere, Friday the 13th...almost all of those movies made me want to go to summer camp, but it just wasn't an option where I grew up.
