To celebrate my birthday, Krista and Tony drove me up to Polebridge for a visit to the Polebridge Mercantile and Bakery (the "Merc") and dinner outside at the Northern Lights Saloon and Cafe. Polebridge is about an hour away, partly on dirt roads, very close to Canada, and in the midst of some of the most beautiful scenery ever. It's definitely off the grid, with no cell phone service, no internet, and one public phone that works "sometimes." We happened upon Pizza Night at the cafe (every Friday), and sat outside with the pups, Jack and Maggie, enjoying the evening. Here are a few snaps.

I'm moving to Montana. To Kalispell, Montana, actually. So much is going on right now that I thought perhaps a new blog would help me out. I've lived in the Dallas area since 2004, and it's time for a change.  2017 is the Year of Adventure for me, and I'm ready for it. My only child and her husband live in Whitefish, and it'll be really nice to live close by. Since I work my day job remotely, I can really work from anywhere, so long as I have high speed internet.  My photography business is flexible, too...new clients to meet, beautiful backdrops for shooting!  Vickie Cunningham Photography  is ready to roll, and I already have Dallas clients who would love to travel to Montana for photo sessions! Please follow along with me, as Maggie the Corgi and I embark upon an exciting new journey! Here's where we're going, and, as you can see, Maggie is very excited!  We welcome your comments, and are very pleased to have you along for the ride!

Today I went to the Whitefish Downtown Farmers Market, which is held every Tuesday from 5 until 7:30 pm. Today's was the first market of the season. It was hot outside, but that didn't keep the people away! Lots of laughter, music, dogs, bright colors, kids twirling around, and some very good booths. When it's not such a hot day, I'll bring Maggie. Here's a few snaps.

It's been a weekend of packing procrastination for me. Yesterday, I bought a new car, suitable for Montana winters. It's a Subaru Forester, and it's a nice ride. I miss my sporty little car, but it would've been useless in bad weather. So buying the car took some time, and then I had a nice dinner with the new owner of my house here in Texas. She bought it the end of March, and it worked out well for both of us for me to rent back until I head for Kalispell. Anyway, by the time I got home, it was too late to pack, and I was tired, so, yes, I went to sleep instead. Last year, I purchased watercolor supplies with the thought of taking a couple of classes from my artist friend, Derenda. This morning seemed like the perfect time to sit outside on my patio and have a lesson.  But before that, I made a good breakfast for both of us, with biscuits. By the time the lesson was over, it was already mid-afternoon, so I did pack a few more boxes...emptying the linen clos
