Catching Up

Greetings!  May was a busy month.  It began with a trip to San Francisco where we visited my mom and sister; spent time with some close friends; and Susan successfully ran the Divas Half Marathon in Burlingame.  Then it was off to Idaho and Yellowstone with Nancy and Steve.  When we returned to Laramie it was back to winter for a bit and then some R&R in Denver.  Now the weather is great, the dogs are healthy (though Trapper tore a nail in his paw), the road over the Snowies is open (we picnicked there a few days back), the wildflowers are beginning to bloom, and it is feeling a lot like summer.  Hope you’re well and stay in touch.  Below are a few photos … just realized I spent lots of time close to water.
