Spring - Winter - Spring - Winter...

I'm so ready for summer!

Opera by Children

Wednesday, Gary and I traveled to Utah to watch Kaylee in her 1st grade Opera. The first graders wrote and produced their own Operas; there were three in all. Kaylee's class wrote the Opera: The Stolen Golden Gargoyles. They wrote the script, the songs, designed the sets and costumes then performed. The words to the music were cute and the costumes and backdrops were darling. They all did so well.

We weren't allowd to take pictures of the performances but we snapped some photos out on the lawn afterwards.

Three ladies in waiting.

I am so proud of all of them!

We are looking for Jane Doe....

Rubye Jean sent me this picture from the Yahoo news page. The caption said it was taken in Medicine Bow, WY on March 27, 2009.

We lived in Medicine Bow when we were much younger. I attended grade school there from the 1st grade through the 5th grade when our father was stationed there with the Wyoming Game & Fish; this was years before Interstate 80 was built, the wind mills were erected and when life was less complicated.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Springtime in the Rockies...

Today it is 52 degrees, the wind is calm, the sky is blue and the birds are singing.
Tomorrow it is supposed to snow with accumulations up to 7 inches.

I am so ready for summer.

Gary's birthday party....

April 7th was Gary's 57th birthday. Gary and I have been dating for a year now!

I had 18 people at my house for cake and ice cream. (Just a small gathering.) I was a little busy so I asked Gary to take pictures for me.

This picture of Gary was taken a year ago in Afton.

At the table in the back are Kim and Troy, friends of Gary's family. In the foreground in the front on the right is Dan, Gary's brother-in-law and his father Glen.

Left to right is Troy again and in the red, his sister Anita. In the back cutting and serving cake is me, Jason (my son-in-law and my daughter Laura.

This is Bo and Bud and Kiki. Bud is Gary's son, Bo is Bud's girlfriend and Kiki is Gary's grand daughter by his daughter Amber.

This is Jaden and Kiki, Amber's children.

From left to right, Chrissy - Anita's daughter, Derrick - Chrissy's son, Shirley - Gary's step-mother, Bo and Chrissy's daughter, Lexie.

From left to right, Shirley, Bo, Garren - Frosti's son and Frosti - Gary's oldest daughter. In the foreground on the right is Darlene. Gary and I go to Tom and Darlene's house every Sunday morning for coffee.

This is a better picture of Frosti and Darlene.

And here we are back at the table again with Tom - Darlene's husband and Glen - Gary's dad.

There weren't any pictures of Amber or Lee - Amber's husband.

With that many people attending Gary's birthday celebration, I did not have any cake or ice cream leftover. Everyone got along and Gary was able to celebrate his birthday with his family.

Have a Happy Easter, everyone!
