Veeder: Disappearing into the horizon on a fall evening (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WATFORD CITY, N.D. — “Do you think I could make it to the grain bins and back before it gets pitch black?” I asked my husband as I scooped the last of the rice and chicken off my plate an into my mouth. The rest of my family was lingering at the table, poking at a supper that was a little sub-par and reaching the limit of a long day. It was a little after 8 p.m. and supper was later than I wanted it to be, but the sun setting so quickly had me sort of shocked and frazzled. In the summer and spri
Veeder: Chocolate milk, gas stations and a slice of western ND life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WATFORD CITY, N.D. — I live in a rural, Midwestern, blue-collar world where many working people rely on the Cenex station or Circle Ks for their breakfasts and lunches. I am one of them on occasion of course, especially when I’m traveling across the region for music. I know all the best places to get the jerky sticks I like and the store with the good bathrooms and caramel rolls, the coffee bar and the ones that stay open past 10 p.m. Right off the interstate or on state highways, in tiny towns

Read excerpt
WATFORD CITY, N.D. — We have a puppy in the house. And even if I didn’t tell you, and if, for some reason the little gremlin didn’t greet you coming into the door by licking your feet and stealing your shoes, you would know by the pile he has collected on the floor in our living room of all of the shoes he has successfully confiscated. He’s a hoarder of all smelly and chewable things, and he gathers them up from all corners of our home and yard and brings them back to the nice pink fluffy blanke
Veeder: Come sit at my kitchen counter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WATFORD CITY, N.D. — Come sit at my kitchen counter and I will tell you everything. It will be messy, and I will have to clear a space for your drinking glass, maybe wipe this morning’s crumbs away, or scrub the jelly so it doesn’t stick to your forearms as you lean in and ask how things are going. Come in and sit at my kitchen counter and I will tell you how Rosie caught a little garter snake this morning and is out collecting rocks and sticks for its habitat. The cousins just pulled in the dri
