The end of an era… The second most photographed barn in Wyoming has finally lost its battle with gravity… Here she is May of 2014… looking sad as her second floor collapsed… Floodwaters surrounded her… but she was hanging on! Last week, she finally breathed her last.

Ten Sleep Fire Hall
When the fire hall in Ten Sleep burned down, many of us were simply shocked. I had a very minor role in getting some of the grants it was built with… I still call the retired Fire Chief, “Boss”, even though it’s been years since he held that position. My husband’s on the Fire District…
Collapse
Collapse. That’s what we finally did about 4 this afternoon… after zinging from the opening reception of the Wyoming Grasslands exhibit into final work on our float and supper with Craig and Judy Johnson at the Red Reflet Ranch yesterday and today’s early start to get those last minute details on the float finished. We…
Way to Go, Ten Sleep
Well, today was very fun and quite successful. I did manage to slop some green chili in my car on the way in to the contest… so I’ll be cleaning that up tomorrow! Here’s my entry. I was all about the presentation! That’s my sign…and a tablecloth… Unfortunately, I didn’t win… Sara did… She’s sporting…
Heads Up, Craig Johnson Fans!

Well, neighboring towns have been generous in gear and money… raising money at basketball games or bake sales. Donations have come from across the country directly to our…

Remember Ten Sleep
hmmm. Just typed in “how Ten Sleep got its name” into my search engine and pow! the photo that I meant to take today was there on flickr. Seeing as how it’s copyrighted, I didn’t repost it here, but the sign, now showing its age, continues the tale of how Ten Sleep was halfway between…
Life Out There
Even though the day was gorgeous, and should have been spent constructively… as in finishing the last bit of tiling, or mowing a lawn, or working in my studio… I chose instead to go to Ten Sleep and roam the streets. All kidding aside, yes, Ten Sleep has street(s) and they are paved, though not…
Football
Football. ‘Tis the season. I’ve loved it a long time… back in the day I cheered for the Dallas Cowboys and the Oklahoma Sooners. Why? ‘Cause that’s who my parents cheered for. Okies do that. When we ended up in Wyoming… we switched to the Denver Broncos and OU. On occasion we’d cheer for the…
