And so it begins...

I know that some out-of-town guests here for the Bar Mitzvah found the weather, and the two-hour drive from the airport, to be a bit beyond the pale.

Indeed, traveling to Laramie makes for a long travel day.

One friend equated the trip to Laramie to a “Journey to the Center of the Earth.”

She, however, used more colorful language, not quite appropriate for this G-rated blog.

On Sunday evening, we watched the fire works from our front porch, wrapped in jackets or blankets—something I’d never expect on the 4th of July.

I found myself rather bemused by the comments and the “wonder of it all” by some of our out-of-town guests.

We are in Wyoming—at an elevation of over 7,000 feet—so cool temps, wind, late afternoon thunderstorms and long car rides to get from point A to point B, are par for the course.

There must be a bit of the imp of that Frontier Woman in me—finally!

Besides, in less than 5 weeks, I become an official “resident” of the beautiful state of Wyoming.

Yee-ha!
