We have a new baby! No no not Debbie & I, Clint & Jolene Davis, our son and his wife, has a new baby girl, Karley Ann, on August 7, 2013! Woo Hoo !! All is well with mom and child, Dad had to recover also, as he said Jolene kept punching him through the delivery process! I told him he could put up with that compared to what she was going through! Check out the big sisters, Kyley and Kelsey!
Deb and I are so happy for them to have such a beautiful family!
As for us, we are having the time of our lives! I keep asking Deb, what town are we in this week, as we are running through the jobs like wildfire! We have done three jobs this month so far, and should finish two more by Labor Day weekend. We have been in Sheridan, Wyoming, Buffalo, Wy., Casper, Wy. and are now in Douglas, Wy. this weekend at the Wyoming State Fair Park and Glendo State Park for two very nice guest guide renewals.
These towns in Wyoming are full of the nicest folks you would ever want to meet! Everyone is friendly and helpful to us getting to know the streets and people we need to talk to. The owners of the campgrounds we have been working with have been wonderful, also, even going so far as putting us in their Elite Site for a weekend before we left the Buffalo KOA, so we could enjoy the private hot tub! Emmy even got to relax on her own lounge chair! We have been asked by all the owners to please come back next year. AND WE WILL!!

We pulled in Friday night to the Wyoming State Fair Park just as the fair had finished up last week and all the fair attractions were gone, except, after arriving we found out they were having a Senior National Rodeo event!
What a HOOT!
These professional cowboys are anywhere in age from 40 years young to 68 years plus! They compete on a full circuit just like their younger counterparts do and they are remarkable men and women! From our seats in the grandstands, dressed in traditional cowboy/cowgirl attire, you had no way of telling their ages as they competed like they were 20 year olds! All the traditional events were included, like, calf roping, barrel racing and of course Bull riding! The only difference in that event, so the comedic announcer said, was they received a senior discount in the timing at 7 seconds instead of the 8 second count the younger generation is timed. One thing for sure, the Bulls were not any smaller or less mean, as no one completed the ride and some were very slow to get up as their bodies have surely absorbed the punishment for decades, but they keep getting back on!
All in all, it was a great rodeo to watch, the Casper Mountain Range with blue skies as a backdrop and a beautiful venue here at the fairgrounds. Sorry we forgot our iPhones or we would have pics!
Here are some pics of our weekend day trips we took while in Wyoming.

As we are truly livin' the Dream!
See You Soon!
