It’s like we never left!!!!! I wish we never had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are back in Colorado! We left Cheyenne and moved to Greeley the first of August.

First time for lookin’, next time for buyin’!!!!! What a FUN day! The hubs and I decided to take a little drive over to Laramie – me for a visit to a yarn shop and the hubs for lunch at Jersey Mike’s. We both have our priorities! We stopped for lunch first so he wouldn’t…
