Feb 2024 Pub Note
How can winter days seemingly drag on forever, but at the same time, the weeks fly by? As soon as the calendar turned to a new year, the holidays were left behind and busyness ensued. Not just for us, for everyone.
This issue found us exploring a variety of stories, from a modern-day farrier to a hat maker to experiencing calving during January’s 45 below temperatures. To ward off the winter blues, we share ideas on planning the spring garden and introduce a community-owned thrift store run exclusively by volunteers with proceeds returning to the community. As always, we include some wonderful recipes from the kitchen of Jean Petersen including comfort food that will not only fill your home with delightful aromas but make those at the dinner table appreciate your effort.
The biggest news for us is that we launched “Adventures in the West Magazine,” our sister magazine to “Raised in the West,” out of Lander, Wyoming. Our daughter, Melanie Limpus is partnering with us and is the publisher. Our first issue was released in January and we’re proud of the final product. We’ve included a sample of the content, in this edition, by sharing an article published in AITW. Be sure to read Melanie’s article about dog sled racing in Wyoming.
Last year we had so much fun partnering with PBR that we’re doing it again! Check out the ad for details. One lucky RITW reader will win a package worth $1000 for the weekend of April 13th. Want to treat your spouse or your parents, maybe your kids? Get entered and don’t miss out on this opportunity! This is a way for us to get to know our readers better and we’re looking forward to hearing from you. Tell us who you are, why you want to win and from where you would be traveling. The deadline to enter is March 22 with the winner being announced on April 1, and that’s no joke! So don’t delay.
As this year unfolds, it has the potential to get complicated. We hope that you hang on to truth, stay steady and keep your focus. We’ll do our best to keep encouraging you along the way.
