Dreaming of a White Christmas – Day 8
We went sledding out at Happy Jack and when we get out of our car before we got to the slope, we saw this sign. If you’re brave (or dumb) enough, you keep going–which we did!The slope doesn’t look like much from the bottom looking up.But walking up it is so tiring. At least that’s …
Golden Slumbers
When I was going through old pictures and saw this one I thought we must have been dressed in our Christmas pajamas. However, this picture was either taken in Michigan or northern Illinois and there’s no snow on the ground and there are flowers blooming in the pots. But it does look like there are …
Dreaming of a White Christmas – Day 7
Shopping for day after specials. We found a few.It’s not that there was no one shopping at the Hallmark. It was the fact that you couldn’t park in front of the store–see all the snow piled up?This is a very large pile of snow in the parking lot of WalMart. We had to go shopping …
Merry Christmas!
It’s 8 degrees here with a windchill of -15! Brrrrrrr!! Last night we went to the Cavalryman for dinner. Tommy had a rib eye, Evan had the prime rib, Amanda had the Rustique Pasta and I had (of course) a filet. Dinnner was delicious. The company was wonderful! On our way home we decided to …

Dreaming of a White Christmas – Day 4
We took a drive outside of Laramie to a railroad crossing in the hopes of taking some pictures of trains. We sat for 30 minutes waiting–no train. But if you’re going to sit and wait for a train, can you think of a better place to do it?Since it was getting a bit cold, and …
Dreaming of a White Christmas – Day 3
No pictures for this day (other than the flag already posted). It was a sit and be lazy day! Well, at least for Tommy and me. The kids have to work. But, before I forgot I wanted to post about seeing bald eagles on our drive through Nebraska. Just west of Lexington we saw three …
