Pete & Carol DeWit
50 years ago Pete and Carol DeWit started their life’s journey together ... they exchanged rings, made commitments, made promises, surrounded by loved ones. They smiled, they laughed, and they dreamed. Mom … petite, beautiful … sacrificed much personal gain to make her life all about supporting dad and building a family. Dad … strong, tall, respected … sacrificed much to make his life all about supporting mom and 3 rambunctious boys. Life’s goal wasn’t to pile up cash, titles, or trophies. You see, their commitment on that day 50 years ago was not just to themselves, but to us. A warm comfortable house, never wanting for food, clothing, or love. Through their example they showed us what love is all about. A lot of time has passed since that day. The single greatest gift they have given us over the years is their time … after all, true wealth in life is measured in both memories made and in time. One billion, 244 million, 400 thousand times their hearts have beat since saying I do ... The exact number of times they have said to us,” we love you”… by their words, through their actions, and by their living example of what a marriage should be. We love you!

Brandi
The relationship that a man has with his best friend is special. But when the best friend is also the world’s greatest duck-dog, memories are made for both that create an exceptional bond. “Brandi, no words can describe my love that I have for you over the last 10 years. Icy cold retrieves in the Flathead River; mud to your belly finding crippled greenheads in cattails and sharing sandwiches while getting warm in the cab of the truck. Thank you for being the best duck hunting partner I’ve ever had.”

1/2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the pepper flakes and garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the scallions and rosemary, cook, stirring, until the scallions are slightly softened, about 30 seconds. Stir in the breadcrumbs and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out skillet.
Heat the oven to 400 F. Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the remaining oil. Season lamb with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet, meat side down. Sear until well browned on the meat side and the ends, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet with the lamb from the heat and pour off the fat. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and mustard. Spread the mixture evenly over the meat side of lamb, press the rosemary crumbs into it. Transfer skillet to middle shelf of the oven and roast until it reaches 120 F at the center for medium-rare, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into chops. Arrange on 2 plates, overlapping the rib bones. If some of the crumbs fall off, just sprinkle them over the plated chops.
