Good morning!

Look at the AMAZING sunrise this morning!

I just don't feel like the photos do it justice...

Got milk?

I went to the Zonta antiques show this morning to see what else the couple we're buying the house from would have out, and to just look around because it's a pretty good show.

There wasn't much there I couldn't live without, except some SUPER cool glass and metal bridle conchos with Western pictures painted on them that I want to get a few sets of for drawer pulls.

Then there was this: It just cracked me up! If I didn't already have an old wooden milk box (that I use to keep onions in) I would totally get this.

Stacey - it says Owen's Dairy on the side.

Wyoming Gothic

This weekend I'll be participating in HOBY, or the Hugh O'Brien Youth leadership camp for high school students.

My office runs the Wyoming program and somehow I went from casual volunteer to pretty much running the show.

My title is Big Mama, something I'm not sure what I think of. There's also a Big Daddy, who is my friend Brandon.

We had to have our picture taken for the program and this is what we decided on...

It cracks me up!!

Wyoming Gothic

Do not enter?

Today's Tribune Eagle got haphazardly thrown on the floor between mine and Matt's office and our boss's office.

Not exactly the most welcoming message would you say? This says nothing about what it's really like to visit Matt and I...

Hodge podge

No real theme to today's post. Just some random thoughts and observations...

Random thought:

I wanted to do something to keep track of all the visitors I've had since settling in to my Cheyenne home. I didn't want to keep a formal "guest book" because that just seems weird and stuffy. I decided on cowboy boots instead. Any time out-of-town visitors come through I have them sign a boot, and when they're all filled up I'll use them as bookends! Nifty, huh?

The problem was, I concocted this idea after I'd already had several visitors - mostly from D.C. I sent the boot back with Elly, who was in the state a while back for work, with the important goal of getting it signed. She presented the boot to me when she was in Wyoming a couple months ago.

I LOVE it!!!

Random thought/observation:

I love, love this truck. I really want an old truck. I always have. And a Jeep Wrangler. Those are the two vehicles I want to someday own. There are several old trucks around here, but I passed this one downtown on my way back from coffee at City News and was impressed by its beautiful condition. I wish I had it in me to be a car thief. Of course I'm not. But at times like this I wish I could be...

Random observation:

Due to some annoying, ongoing construction on the street RIGHT in front of our office many of us don't have access to our parking lot. Instead we have to park in the garage a couple blocks away. I know...who ever complains about free garage parking?? But the construction blocks our direct route from the garage to the office, forcing us to walk completely out of the way.

The route takes us in front of the Wrangler cowboy clothing store. Today, I looked up at the building and for the first time ever noticed this...

Um...creepy!

Milk and cookies

I didn't see this until I got the jug home.

It cracks me up every time I open the fridge.

Aside from the obvious cookies and milk pairing...why is it on there??



haha. Or, I mean, hee hee!

Nowhere

A random funny picture I forgot to include in my On the Road Omaha post...I think this was in North Platte, Neb., where I stopped for gas.

Haha...

Jacka-what?

A giant jackalope on top of a taxidermy business in Cheyenne...

I guess this means they must be real!

Random Pic

So random.

On the bar door of the Cowboy in Laramie.

I guess I should do as the sign says and ask the bartender about "what this means."
