I Became A CASA Volunteer

After taking over 30 hours of training I was sworn in as one of the newest Court Appointed Special Advocates. This means I will be doing volunteer work with children who have been removed from their home because of neglect and/or abuse. I figured this would give me something to do with my time and hopefully I will be able to make a difference in the life or lives of children.

 

 

 

 

September Utah Visit

I made another trip to Utah in September to visit with the kids and attend the wedding reception of Alisa Lyman who was one of my missionary children in Casper.  Derek and I went to her "wedding party" together that night in Highland while Corey and Nikki took off for a night away at some resort in the mountains.

Those visits get harder and harder to make it seems.  It's a long trip by myself.  B. J. The Dog doesn't talk much.  The trip is worth it though when I finally make it and see the kids - especially get to spend some time with Derek.

And then I let Derek have the camera...

 



 

 

 

 

 

Pretty good, huh?

 

 



Last Menus

I tried to be organized every week.  Sunday was my day to have everything planned for the week's upcoming meals.  I had to do that because of all the doctor appointments and work or else I would have felt so stressed to try and plan dinner each and every night.

This is my last listing of those planned dinners:

Susan Came For A Visit

Susan came for a visit the first week in August.  She was on the way home after a visit to Washington State to see her first little grandchild - Hudson.

She flew into Casper and I picked her up.  The next day was spent doing some countryside sightseeing. 

 

We had to head to Denver the next day because she was flying out to Georgia the following day.  So we headed south by way of Nebraska, back into Wyoming and then Colorado.

  



 

 

 

 

 

Susan met a biker on his way home from his yearly Sturgis visit.
