My Town

Just thought I would post this little news clip from CNN News , about my town , Williston, North Dakota ! Yes it has been crazy here for awhile ! It can be a good thing or a bad thing , depending on how you look at it !! I have to say it's been a benefit for my family, so has been good. I feel bad for those that do have trouble with finding a place to live or stay , has to be very hard , especially families . But I am also thankful for the jobs it has provided for many that have also moved here !
I am not able to post the actual movie on my blog...bummer , I have no idea how to embed something , tried several things & to no avail , nothing worked ! So if you want you can click here and it will take you to it ! Sorry !

And yes ... I do live in a small town with nothing in it ! As far as shopping goes all I can say I am so glad for the Internet !

Not Frilly !!

Okay , this post has nothing to do with frills, art , nothing pink or vintage !!!! Just a little info about where I live . It has been crazy in this area for the last year or so in my town or should I say ...area , and now is going to get even "crazier" ! Because of all the oil business in this area it has been booming , jobs are in abundance , but finding a place to live is even harder for some ! The motels in the area are usually full with "workers" ! The U. S. Geological Survey released details of its most recent study on the Bakken formation in the Williston Basin of Montana and North Dakota. The survey shows that there is a lot more oil in this area than they actually thought ! Homes are being built as fast as possible and apartment complexes going up to house everyone . All makes for major changes in our area ! We are in the center of it all ! The photo is of bumper stickers "Rockin The Bakken".

The price of gas keeps going up & many times we pay even more per gallon here !!! But if someone is unemployed it would have to be because they don't want to work !! So , hope I didn't bore you too much !!
