What a phenomenal weekend we had. My daughter and her husband threw a huge lakeside wedding with a delicious dinner and reception afterwards. We spent the entire weekend celebrating with family. We had breakfasts, explored Cheyenne and truly enjoyed the dog-friendly hotel we stayed at for two nights.
This week I am back home and focused on talking to people about the upcoming election. And sharing my personal opinion about why I would vote in support of specific candidates. I’m re-sharing the candidates below who are not running unopposed.
