It has been a VERY long time since I posted anything to my Grateful 365 Project but better late than never! I made this photo a couple weeks ago while we were spending some time at a friend’s cabin just outside of Red Lodge, MT. Both Sue and I had been very busy; Sue and […]

Skartved Christmas
A part of our Christmas weekend included a trip to Glendive, MT to see Sue’s family. The weather in Glendive has been fantastic so we decided to take the opportunity to get out and get some pictures of everyone while we were all together. We chose the iconic Bell Street Bridge over the Yellowstone River […]
Grateful 365 Day Sixty
There is something so refreshing about kids and their free spirits. At one point or another in our lives we forget what it means to truly be “free” and start caving to societal pressures to try and fit into the bounds of “normal” we think are necessary for acceptance. This is one of the reasons […]
Grateful 365 Day Forty-two
From time to time we get the opportunity to have my father-in-law, Donald Skartved, stay with us for a few days and today is one of those days. I got off from work a little early today and we sat outside talking and watching WWII planes from a traveling display flying around. This got Don […]
Grateful 365 Day Forty
As I mentioned in my previous post, our weekend was very busy so by the time I sat down to post for Saturday and Sunday, I was so tired I decided to call it a night and catch up today. The photo for Sunday is one that I chose, if nothing else, because my kids […]
Grateful 365 Day Thirty-nine
Whew! The last few days have been very busy and as such, I am behind on my postings – but I did manage to take a few (couple hundred!) photos over the weekend. We purchased a larger pool for the kids a few weeks ago and haven’t put it up do to the rather cool […]
Grateful 365 Day Thirty-two
If you’ve been following this project at all, you know that I had some site issues that required me to take it down and patch some security holes. When I put the site back up I did so with an entirely new look that required a whole lot of time to get “just right.” Because […]
Grateful 365 Day Twenty-seven
Despite the fact that the weather in Billings has been anything but nice, we will eventually see summer. To help keep the kids’ attitudes positive and to provide some much needed relief when the heat finally does come, we purchased a glorified kiddie pool today. Of course, with any pool, one needs to have goggles […]
Grateful 365 Day Twenty-six
The subject of today’s Grateful photo are the flowers that grow in front of our house. These particular flowers have quite a history behind them, beginning with my wife, Sue, when she planted them in her Mom’s garden when Sue was 14. To tell the rest of the story, I now turn it over to […]
Grateful Day Twenty-five
My nephew, Jory, turned 7 today and during sugar-fueled frenzy I was able to get the kids to sit together and “pose” for a few pictures. It was fun having all the kids together; we don’t do it enough and I know they enjoyed it. ISO 200, 55 mm, f/10, 1/125 sec
