The artwork is a unique, one-of-a-kind original piece. It combines elements of figurative art, expressionism, and fantasy. This combination creates a captivating and imaginative portrait.

Wyoming is filled with many “hidden” treasures. Little gems of history and fortitude are everywhere. Fort Laramie doesn’t disappoint. It’s thrilling in its quiet beauty and historical realms.
Fort Laramie is still a small town, population roughly 1,000. Located along the Laramie River in Southeast Wyoming, it’s well worth visiting and spending a full day exploring the fort and the Iron Bridge (located very close together, less than 2 miles apart.)
The Visitors center of Fort Laramie historical site is located inside the old supplies facility. It has been nicely converted into a little museum. The museum is abundant in the historical telling of the fort itself. It also offers wonderful selections of goodies. The visitor center also has a vast variety of postcards and an ample range of postmarking stamps! There is a derelict post office on site. It was once part of the fort’s functional aspects more than a century ago. Yet, the active post office is located in the town. This allows one to write to a loved one about their awesome adventures. They can mail it off from the town itself!
Fort Laramie offers a walk through map of all the grounds, which is outstanding. The fort itself has many buildings that can also be toured. These include barracks, commissaries, Surgeons residents, and the Bedlam. The Bedlam has a fascinating back story of its name and history. There are ruins where edifices didn’t survive the time and plaques of information to enlighten.
The Laramie river runs along side the fort, providing much needed water then and now to the area, trees grow abundantly and the pastures around still don a herd of horses and a small amount of cattle (I am not sure if they are associated with the fort or not but it’s nice to imagine that the Calvary stationed there would still be in need of the horses and cattle if it were still an active fort!)
Fort Laramie was also a major trading post and rest stop for those traveling or living in the region–as well as a huge component in the Pony Express–while it lasted for the 18 months it ran. The Pony express had 120 young riders that delivered and most went through Fort Laramie!
The staff at Fort Laramie are well informed. They are super helpful in the knowledge and guidance of the fort. So please stop by and check it out! The entrance and parking are both free and are open year around, except on major holidays!

Tucked away in Goshen County, in the Southeast corner of Wyoming is a small town of Guernsey. It sits right along the banks of the North Platte River. The water trickles along as the wind howls. The sunsets never fail to show their beauty each and every day!
The local deer population often come into town for a visit. They chatter and conversations along the way. The deer gossip and enjoy people watching here in Guernsey. While I haven’t seen any buffalo yet but I have heard the sweet melodic tunes of the Jackalope…the sweet serenading of cowboys resonating on the air streams of the winds.

We all have the infamous to-do list. It includes packing for a holiday trip. There’s also cleaning before guests come over. And let’s not forget washing the dishes after Thanksgiving meals (and leftovers).
We all want to read more or learn something but chores inevitably come first, right? No longer!
We are prepping for the holiday cheer. We definitely don’t have the wish to spend extra on entertainment if we don’t need to, right? Here are a few short, sweet stories. They are (audio-stories) that are super nice to listen to while busting your hump to get things done. This way, you can enjoy a good story. Be entertained while tackling that inevitable mound of laundry or other tasks!

It’s autumn. For many, lives are busy. The weather is growing frightfully chilly. A warm, easy dish to feed the family or friends is always welcome. With the holidays just around the corner, budget friendly meals are a necessity.
Ingredients:
12 medium Eggs
1/2 cup (x2) shredded or cubed cheese (your choice)
1/2 a 16 oz bag of frozen vegetable blend (the generic brand is great) like the one with water chestnuts and snap peas and such in it, it’s already coarsely chopped.
1/4 cup milk
Salt, Pepper, crushed red pepper if you like it a spicy
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, except half the cheese, mixing fully with wooden spoon or spatula. Pour into a greased baking dish (like a 9×13″for thinner quiche or a square baking dish for a thicker quiche)
Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, put remaining cheese on top, and bake for another 15 minutes. The quiche should be spongy to the touch when finished.
I like it with Hot Sauce on top versus melted cheese but either way is delicious! Serves a family or group.
