writer, believer, cabin dweller, baker…chronicler of a simpler life on the northwest shore of flathead lake

Hi. Becky Jackson here. Writer, retired English teacher, wife to Rex, mom to three beautiful souls, gramma to nine remarkable grandkids, and great gramma to two little chunks of love. If you knew me back in my teaching days, you probably called me Rebecca, “Ms J,” or Mom.

Since retiring, we’re living in Stonecroft, the historical log cabin on Flathead Lake in northwest Montana. It is everything I remember from my childhood and the fulfillment of a dream that we have been able to share with our children and grandchildren. I have discovered that living here is a gift that must be shared—an older way, a simpler way, a way that must be learned. That’s what this blog is about: cabin life, the tending of place and making a home, the importance of family. It’s about memories, and beauty, dreams, time, gratitude, and growing older. It’s about this journey we are all on, and the faith in the God who loves and sustains us through it all.
