Home, Home on the Range....

For starters, because of rain, rain and more rain we have yet to go camping! The old wives tale that if it rains on the 1st day of the month it will rain for 15 days is holding true this month. Today is the 14th and guess what... it is raining! We are really hoping that we can go May 22nd.

Some exciting, too me, news is that I have made the decision that I will go with Jeff to Wyoming this summer. Nearly every summer a group of men young and old make the LONG drive to Pinedale, Wyoming. From here they put on some backpacks and take off into the back country. They spend several days hiking, fishing, talking, eating, camping, etc. It is really a great time for them.
I have requested vacation time during their absence. My plan was to sit at home and wait for my husbands return. How boring would that be. I had plans to go and see my sister for a day or two and I was going to take the kids to Shreveport for a day. So we weren't without a plan, but still.
I have always wanted to go up that way and see the sights. I love the mountains!
I decided that we would just go and stay in town at a campground. We have a tent and sleeping bags and everything we need to make it our home for a week.
We leave on July 22nd and return around August 1st. While there we will visit Mammoth Hot Spring and Yellowstone. I am sure to take hundreds of photos :)
