Be Kind. Work Hard. Stay Humble. Smile Often it keeps you young. Be honest. Never stop learning. Love what you do. Life's too short for ugly cowboys and slow horses

Menard, Montana

Menard, Montana is located between Manhattan and Belgrade. It was named after 

my great great great grandpa Telesphore Menard. The town was named by my great great great great grandpa Henry Monforton. They were settlers from Canada. They came out west to start a new beginning and that's what they did. They ranched throughout the Gallatin Valley Henry owned five different ranches throughout the valley raising cattle and wheat. 

Menard was a railroad stop where the train hauled goods to and from Menard daily. It wasn't a very big town but very pretty.

   

                

Earlier this year for my writing class I had to do a story on something that was important to me/my family...whatever. Anyways I chose the little tiny town of Menard, and if you blink you truly might miss it :)

I have a five page paper on it, but really it is cool I had to dig into history and it was fun because I asked my Grandpa about lots of things and he was really willing to tell me about anything. Our family, the ranches and how he grew up on the ranch that was passed down from his grandpa.

I suggest  people to talk to their grandparents or great-grandparents and ask them about their lives, your family,dig into history it is really something neat :)

Mom and I took a couple days away from home to just hang out together and go see Menard because I am the only kid from my family that hasn't been there. It was a 

great time, and fun road trip!

Life is better in the summer

I can't believe that May is almost over time does  fly when your having fun!

I have been busy helping my uncle feeding cows. Yes still... only a couple more days and we will be moving them out to summer pasture. I have also been busy fencing, irrigating, and jumping on horses at night if I get time.
