The thing about Christmas programs when you’re a preschooler… is the waiting. There’s Quinlan in the green shirt. It was a long program… and the preschoolers were one of the last to perform. Usually they’re one of the first and then they’re sent to sit with their parents… but this was a new all-school format……
Snuggle
We attended the school Christmas program tonight. It was one of the more unique ones I’ve ever attended… there is quite a bit to share, but my eyes started slamming shut an hour ago, and I really don’t want to stay up for another hour! I’m going to go snuggle into my bed, and hope…
Wordless Wednesday – “Snow Lover”
Lucas, my snow lover, would much rather be out laying in the snow than in my hot house!!!
Accomplished That
The snowstorm only dropped a soft 6″ on us…and it kept snowing all day! Craig Johnson was nice enough to let us know he arrived home safely across Powder River Pass after the Silent Auction last night. We were nervous! I enjoyed a fire in my old Round Oak stove most of the day… it…
Silent Auction and a Story
Well, another year down for our Silent Auction/Open House. Attendance was hurt some from the large snowstorm that blew in… but support was still there. 103 items were up for bid. Craig Johnson was here as our Special Guest, reading his newest Christmas Post-it story. Everyone had a good time… there was plenty of delicious…
A Couple More
Here are a couple more of my crafts for the library’s Silent Auction Monday evening. This mug was given a watercolor effect using fingernail polish. This is a set of three melted crayon ornaments with bead highlights. Here’s a tiny pastel done of the Big Horn Mountains… [easy-image-collage id=16365] My favorite… three little tomtens, or…
Nice Looking Fellas
While I’ve been in Christmas mode, for myself and the library, the guys attended the Sitz Angus Bull Sale up in Montana. Today, the new bulls were delivered. They are four very nice looking bulls. I’m glad I didn’t have to walk into a trailer with 10 bulls in it though… They were mild as…
Wyoming-loving Wine Glass
I usually try to submit some crafty items for the Silent Auction at the library. I’m actually accomplishing more than I have in years past… This is the one I’m happiest with at the moment. I decided to etch some stemless wine glasses. Now the glasses aren’t that expensive, so I wouldn’t be losing too…
Upcoming Fun at the Library
[easy-image-collage id=16343] The Ten Sleep Library is completely decorated… finally… The display case is full of “vintage” toys. Yes, some of them are mine. The top of the case… The main room with huge ornaments hanging from the ceiling and silent auction items lining the shelves and wall. Then there’s the main entryway… Finally…
Wordless Wednesday – “Throwback Eagle”
Since many of you were interested in the immature bald eagle from the other day… here’s a glance at my most infamous eagle story. If you haven’t been reading Red Dirt for very long, you might be interested in this award winning tale. Even if you have, Throwback Thursdays Wednesdays are always fun! I’ve included…
Bald vs. Golden
The photos I shared the other day are of a immature Bald Eagle. While some of you guessed Golden Eagle (and I wasn’t too sure at first myself!) let me tell you why I think it’s a young Bald. First, and easiest… Goldens have feathers clear down to their toes. Balds are fish eaters (or…
Curious Kitten Puzzle
For tonight, a 90 piece puzzle of the new kitten. I’m still debating on whether it will be Rumson or Pardner… because I’m pretty sure it can’t be Mariah! Curious Kitten **** I found out today that our Friends of the Ten Sleep Library’s wreath brought $550 in the auction. Of course, that isn’t what…
