Framed!
My donation to the Harvest Dinner Raffle and Auction is done. Our library fundraiser is this Saturday. While the dinner funds are split between the library and ambulance, the raffle and auction goes to the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library. I was hoping to do a jewelry piece, but I might have to use…
Alumni
Another day at Wyoming Library Association conference filled with good vendors, better breakout sessions, and one of the best speakers we’ve had. Maybe I’m prejudiced a little since I’ve known him since… <cough, cough>… oh, excuse me! Anyway… I actually would enjoy having a written copy of his speech, so I could reread and digest…
Library Trip
I’m attending the Wyoming Library conference in Cheyenne again… expanding my knowledge, networking with new and old friends, and having a good time doing it. The only complaint I have, is I would like to see some things while I’m here… tour the newly renovated capitol building, go to the State Museum, just do something…
New Home
Twenty eight deer, three elk, and, thankfully, no moose! That was our tally driving home over the mountain last night. Needless to say, my friend drove slowly over the tree lined, winding road. The full moon had wildlife out eating along the roadside. We had been to the HF Bar Ranch by Buffalo, Wyoming for…
Life, Liberty, and Longmire
With two weeks notice, we pulled off another Longmire float for Craig Johnson and the Friends of the Ten Sleep Library! The 4th of July parade’s theme was “Give Me Liberty”, so we modified it just a touch! Our version was “Give me Life, Liberty, and Longmire” The book covers we used on our first…
Float
We received a message at the library a couple of weeks ago… a certain famous friend of ours was headed our way for the 4th of July… and could he do anything for us? Well. Ya don’t turn down a New York Times best selling author when he’s volunteering to come to your library! We…
First Time
Four days away. Get home. Change my shirt. Head back out to work the brewery benefit for our after school program at the library. I’ve waitressed, but never bartendered. There’s a first time for everything… Thanks, everyone, especially the Ten Sleep Brewery! Not sure of our total yet, but somewhere around $300 was raised. Now,…
LL&P
More fun in Laramie… but a spring snow had to blow through Wyoming, and we only made it halfway home. That’s fine. I’m hanging out at my brother’s house in Casper for the night, letting braver people go forth and clear off the roads. I do have to get home in the morning since the…
Book Discussion
I held my book discussion on The First White Woman In The Big Horn Basin by Paul Frison. This local history book is fascinating in so many ways! For those of you really interested, the Washakie Museum in Worland has some new reprints for sale. The book discussion can be watched here.
#TBT: Book Discussion
Well, this doesn’t really qualify… but I’m leading a book discussion on January 15. The book is First White Woman in the Big Horn Basin by Paul Frison. Imagine being a lady’s maid in 1883, traveling to the Far Western Wilds of Wyoming, falling in love with a cowboy… marrying him, then living the rough…
What A Night!
We spend sooooo much time preparing the library and food and crafting donations, that when we go home and collapse after it’s all over… we could still use a day of rest to recover! I’m getting ahead of myself. We have always started our party at 6 pm, but this year, Craig Johnson requested an…
