The first text message came in from Courtney at 1:30 on today; “There is a tornado warning here they have everyone in the back (of the WalMart store where she works).”
She reported the power went out at 1pm, then by 4 pm she was heading back to work to help dispose of refrigerated food that […]
I just found out that Liz was offered a scholarship by the UWYO engineering department. She wants to learn computer programming & the school is offering to help pay for that. Way cool.
Liz has always been very smart, even if she did not want people to know that. She prefers to ‘fly under the radar.’ […]
Here’s a video of Troy and Hunter (with help from Tina) doing a puppet show. It looks like Liz helped Tina post this on YouTube.com. However they got it done, both Dolores and I get a kick out of it.
So nice of Tina to make these available so we can see them; and […]
Liz just reported the results of her first full semester on the BIG campus (she went one semester to the Community college here in Gillette) down in Laramie; four A’s, three B’s and one C. The C was in music theory, which she considered a triumph (’I passed!’ was how she put it). These were […]
As I write this I can hear our vehicles driving off into the distance. We live right between two intersections, one of which is a major highway out of Gillette, so I can usually hear the engines as they pull up to the stop sign right outside, then it’s a right turn and about 100 […]
UPDATE: The hospital deemed Dolores to be an essential emergency employee and sent their Jeep to pick her up for work this evening (Thursday). The driver almost got stuck out in our little parking area. She later called and said she did not know when she would be coming home; they were splitting shifts […]
Well the two weary wanderers have returned from their Spring Break rush. Here’s just a sample of the silliness they were up to:
They took tons of pictures, some of which will appear on Liz’s blog; timeline unknown. We are just glad to have them back in one piece.
Liz and Courtney are off on their big adventure, a spring break trip to Las Vegas and California with their friend Michelle, who lives in Ohio.
Liz drove down to Laramie Thursday night, and then they both drove to Denver and caught a flight to Las Vegas. We almost had a family member on the international […]
Courtney really surprised me the other day when she let it slip that she had started a part-time job to help pay for her schooling. Since she spent much of the fall semester telling me that she was swamped and had not time for a job, I took her announcement as a good sign; she […]
Liz is now attending school at Gillette College, taking math, English, music, and other classes. She is carrying a full academic load while working full time hours at Wyoming Work Warehouse. She also works one day a week in the college library to help pay for part of her student load package. She recently interviewed […]
