Stories of Hope
It’s been weeks now since the dreadful Atlas Blizzard struck Wyoming, South Dakota, and Nebraska. My post subtitled “10 Things You Might Not Know About the Atlas Blizzard and Cattle” received many, many hits.

Practice
Well, it’s confirmed. I’m one of the speakers next January for the Johnson County Cattlewomen Meeting in Buffalo, Wyoming. Yeah. Me! I’ve been wanting to try this… and by golly, if they didn’t just call me out of the blue! They’re looking for something on the lighthearted side… and somehow thought I might be able…
Sweet Dreams
Worked in Worland’s library after my stint in the Ten Sleep Library, then went grocery shopping and right now, I’m about to tip over. I was going to update you on the Atlas Blizzard, but I really can’t even focus very well! I think I’ll leave that for another night! I did manage yesterday to…

So Well
Another one is over and done… The annual Harvest Dinner Raffle and Auction is finito! Whooooeeee.

Out There
Well, it’s been a long day of work, then we set up for a library book sale, then moved all the raffle items over to the school cafeteria for the Harvest Dinner, then zipped over to Worland and had our annual Girl Scout supper with “girls” we worked with up at Girl Scout National Center…
Harvest Dinner Raffle Preview
After a day’s work at the library, and making meatloaf, baked potatoes, and biscuits for supper… I cranked out a few Soap Stones to donate to our Harvest Dinner fundraiser on Saturday! Yeah, ALREADY! It always seems to sneak up on me! Seems like we’re down in donations this year for the library raffle… So…
