Signs You're in Wyoming

Wyoming, where "Whoa" means "Stop Pardner!"

Wyoming, where automobiles are hazardous to four legged critters and folks still travel by horse.

Wyoming, where Bubba's Bar-B-Que is the hottest grub in town.

Wyoming, where a day of canoeing beats a day at the office any day.


Wyoming, where Cairns* point the way.


Wyoming, a place for reflection.

Wyoming, where buffalo**still roam. (Thank Heaven.)

Wyoming, where you can get lost in the clouds.

*A cairn (carn in Irish, carnedd in Welsh, càrn in Scots Gaelic) is a man made pile of stones, often in a conical form. They are usually found in uplands, on moorland, on mountaintops or near waterways. Today, cairns are often used to mark hiking trails or cross-country routes in mountain regions at or above the tree line. In modern times cairns are often erected as landmarks. In ancient times they were erected as sepulchral monuments, or used for practical and astronomical uses.

**Actually, American Bison.

Life Lessons

Read to the end, you will laugh just picturing it happening. I love the thoughts Maya Angelou lives by!

I didn't break the elastic...Don't break the elastic!

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday..

Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting'. Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day--like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.

The audience laughed so hard they cried. Maya is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words! She said this:

'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.'

'I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.'

'I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.'

'I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.'

'I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.'

'I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back...'

'I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.'

'I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.'

'I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.'

'I've learned that I still have a lot to learn..'

'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.'

Please share this to five phenomenal women today... If you don't...the elastic will break and your underpants will fall down around your ankles!

Believe me, I didn't take any chances on MY elastic breaking....I'm putting it on my blog.
