so, we know probably three people in montana,
and i confess that one is our real estate agent,
and another is the selling agent who now lives across the street from us.
the third is a man named richard beighle,
who is also one of the nicest people i've ever met.
dr. beighle also happens to live on a cherry orchard on flathead lake.
last week we were invited (mostly by ourselves) to pick cherries
as the market is flooded and he wasn't going to be harvesting and selling them this year.
so away we went for a magical day of sun, water and picking. i really think i could have lived on that deck.
