The winter storm has hit, bringing us 5” of new snow, light breezes, and closed or warning roads across the Cowboy State. Yesterday, 44 vehicles were in a pileup on Interstate 80. There were no “green” or dry roads on wyoroad.info. Quinlan had a basketball game scheduled in Worland (while statewide, many school activities were…

#TBT: Community, v.2.0
This was first posted January 27, 2012. After a trip to town, Vernon and I stopped by Ten Sleep School for a couple of high school basketball games. Oh, the memories that brings back! My kids played basketball and football and track… Small towns love their sports! To be part of the community… I really think you…

Number Fifteen
I knew I was missing it, but it’s difficult to celebrate when you don’t feel the best. I’m on the mend, just need to kick this cough out of my lungs. I do feel well enough to write, though, so HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY TO ME! I’ve just rambled through my blog anniversary posts from past years……
Panorama
Vernon shared this gorgeous panoramic shot with me the other day. I think you can click on it and zoom to see the big country I live in.
Vegetative
Lorelei and I commiserated with our stuffy noses and coughs today while Quinlan and parents went to a basketball game and Vernon and Daniel snowmobiled to the top of the mountain. She started to feel better and sat and watched tv in this position for over half an hour. I used to be able to…
Play Time
With days of bad weather and babysitting and “me time”, my stash of crafts has grown. I’ve been on an alcohol ink kick lately. The trouble I’ve faced is how to seal the ink. I’d made quite a few and knew they weren’t dishwasher safe. And I also didn’t like the way the acrylic spray…
#TBT: Whisper of Hay Dust, v.2.0
This was first posted January 22, 2012. Hay dust filters through the sunlight, drifting in lazy circles until it settles back on wooden edges. Ancient grain, a pile of manure (well-aged), mice scent, and dried out leather add to the ambience as I wonder at the memories held in these log walls. Memories that don’t…
Wordless Wednesday: Trailing Towards the Hidden Mountains
For a jigsaw puzzle of Megan’s photo, Trailing Toward the Hidden Mountains, go HERE. (Yes, they’re the Big Horns but you can’t see them because of FOG/SNOW/CLOUDS)
Good One
Tonight the library was to show the movie, Secondhand Lions, just to give the people of Ten Sleep something to do… watch a Great Movie, eat some popcorn and drink some hot chocolate (it’s beginning to snow again), and enjoy each other’s company. Well. It didn’t work out, and me (the projectionist) was the only…
