I remember while growing up that my mother in between the daily chore of raising a family, would scratch down on anything that was handy, parts and words to a poem that she was working on, for she was always thinking of words to express herself and keep her mind busy by writing poems, about people and events that happened in her life, also the things that were dear to her. I will include one of them in each of the following issues of the "Scuttlebutt" as long as you enjoy them and I don't run out. So here is the very first one.

     Here we are stepping into a brand new year, I hope it will be a good one for all of us, we are full of hope that it will be, as we are certain who is in charge of it all!

     When Laurie and I are out and about I always carry our camera in hopes to capture a snapshot to use in our little paper. The weather so far this infant year has not been very good as far as nice photo taking weather is concerned, I will try hard to keep enough on hand to fill you in on what is happening here around Flathead Lake.
