Well, I didn’t get my little table finished. I am ready to stain it, but all I have downstairs is pecan, grey, and onyx. I was looking for more of a light walnut, more brown than red. Since I have to head to Worland tomorrow, it’ll just set me back a day, and that’s ok….
Donation
Last week, I asked a friend to build me another little end table. He’s the great guy that built the “wildflower” tables I painted HERE and HERE. Instead of keeping it for myself, we are jointly donating it to the Silent Auction for the Christmas Open House at the Ten Sleep Library. I asked another…
Happy Batday
We had a quick visit from Victoria and her boys. She hauled Christmas decorations and with Megan, started to put out my Christmas decorations. These visits are fast, trying to cram fun and work in together, and I’m very blessed to have her come over and for her kids to have cousin time. Meagan and…

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!
Looking Good
I was back to work at the library for my first full day since the end of September. It’s the big push to get ready for all of our December activities, so I spent the day decorating the library. However, there was no climbing ladders for me! Our high standard of decorating to the max…
Step by Step
Another physical therapy day and I continue to improve. My 30 minutes on an exercise bike is now joined by short walks with hiking sticks. I continue to walk crooked, favoring a knee that no longer needs favored. Striding out balanced by the poles should help. Of course, I hike on the highway, preferring its…
Return
Vernon and I drove the side by side up the mountain. We knew a few inches of snow lay on the ground but were unsure of how drifted it would be and if we could make it to our destination. Vernon, however, is a determined and talented driver. My new little tables are in place….
Ten Sleep School
After the girls’ basketball game, some of us were hanging around, with a little time to kill before our next event. Our school superintendent offered a quick tour of Ten Sleep’s new school and I jumped on the opportunity. I’ve been wanting to see it but haven’t ever had a chance. I swear our school…
Once Again
I attended the granddaughters’ last middle school basketball game today. As fifth graders, we’re happy if they control their dribbles, passes, and attempt a few baskets. The refs were very good with them, explaining calls, giving fist bumps of encouragement, and, thankfully, not calling all of the traveling calls they could have made. I gave…

The Hole-in-the-Wall No two names in Wyoming are so well known to the outside world as the Hole-in-the-Wall and Powder river. To many they epitomize all that might be written of our lawlessness, our feuds and…
Throwback Thursday: Fun, v.2.0
This was first published November 21, 2014. Started off the morning by zipping to Ten Sleep School. I honestly don’t visit there much, my interest has waned since my kids all graduated… and the biggest visit may be to haul some books over for a teacher or student. Today, though, they had an inspirational speaker…
