With the Wyoming "breezes" blowing the girls hair into their eyes we called "mom" and asked if it would be o.k. to get a haircut? So when we got the go ahead we loaded up the girls and went to Cost Cutters for a "trim"!! While they might be out of sequence it shows Abby with 'Gramma Beck" going to the 'ladies room" after her trim and then Ally's turn in the chair!!! They were both great kids and really look "at ease" with their hair for the Wyoming wind!! Now when we go on our next adventure!!! to THE CABIN!! Ohhhhhhh I can't wait they might even get hip waders and a fishing pole to catch a fish!! You never know about Grand Parents!! I can't wait!!!

When I got the "grand girls" home after a long trip from Denver you can see that it started out playing "only" in the yard with balls to retreating to the backyard with the wading pool!! It started out with the "squirty' bathtub ducks to a full immersion and loving the water even though it was a chilly 82 degrees here in Laramie!! Then Gramma Beck got home and we had reading of the book time before we started our next adventure!! Oh boy!!

These photos prove that summer does arrive in Laramie after all!! It is July 15th and the flower beds and pots are in full bloom here on Eberhart street! Even the garden has some plants that survived the spring onslaught of cold/rain/hail!! With any luck we will have a long fall and or an Indian summer to get some produce from the garden!!

I feel kinda "geekish" as I decided to purchase a new computer rather than buy a new monitor (my old new flat screen bit the big one) and my keyboard had "an attitude" as Becky put it because sometimes the keys worked and sometime they didn't (that is why some email's and post have misspelled words).. So I went out and bought a new HP high powered system and hey it allowed me to get the new Windows 7 operating system upgrade too so maybe in the long run I made a wise choice (I keep telling myself that anyway)...

With the flag flying in the breeze I cooked a traditional 4th of July meal consisting of Cheddar Brat's, Polish hotdogs, corn on the cob and Salmon????? Oh well it was a nice day till it rained out the fireworks here in Laramie!! Quiet evening because of it though!!

Happy 4th of July!!
