This event was not only for the students who attend the school, but an open house for those who wanted to learn more about the preschool. I signed up to bring treats and was asked to make green eggs and ham. I didn’t know what they wanted, but then I received a photo of what I was asked to make, it was a picture of pretz...

Snowfall last Thursday made for an unusual day for residents of Sweetwater County. Snow accumulation and terrible road conditions were anything but typical. Since I drive back and forth between Green River and Rock Springs quite a bit I’m pretty good at judging the road conditions. But even I, in all my infinite wisdom of 15 years living in Wyoming, was thrown through a loop Thursday morning. After I made sure my oldest son, Matthew, got on the bus, my youngest son, John, 4, and I made our w...

Just when it seems like there is finally a calm in my house, another storm seems to hit. This time the storm hit in a different way.
