If you ever do (say, you decide to head up toward Yellowstone/Tetons), please let Julian know so he can meet you in Lander (it's on the way), and let me know so I can recommend places to go to Mass.
It is good to cherish so deeply a place so special to your heart. I was a Marine brat and moved from place to place every 2 years. Upside: I learned flexibility. Downside: I never had an answer to "Where do you come from?" Which is rather sad as a kid. So thank you for these memories and sharing your deep ties with this special land. God bless!
Oh, my goodness! What a beautiful gift, this story, every word of it! Son writes and speaks as father does. How enriching, how innocent, how true, how holy and simple! This is precious. This is to be revered. This is to be shared, which I will do. Thank you, Julian! Your father has raised you in the most magnificent of ways, to appreciate the simple, the magnificent, to appreciate the stars over Wyoming. Besides coffee, you deserve accolades the likes we have offered to great poets as Walt Whitman! I am overtaken with joy reading/listening to your Sweet Wyoming Home memoir! xoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxox
I thoroughly enjoyed this article, Julian. Much of it brought back memories of the part of my life in the intermountain west — Idaho, Montana and Utah. I now live in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, but I still treasure the recollections of the west.
I went to school at UW and have a lot of family mostly in Glendo to the West and Rock Springs to the east. The slower pace of Wyoming is something I miss. Living in the Denver area I notice even my driving is different here compared to when I visit Wyoming.
I will say though I don’t miss the wind and the winter!
This is delightful! I live in California, and my family has contemplated moving out of state some day. I think of all the states I have thought of, Wyoming might be the one that speaks to me the most.
One day I hope we will visit Wyoming!

I especially enjoyed Rose singing, including the coyote yipping! I feel like an angel....

Wonderful!
My heart longs to see Wyoming again.

Beautiful memories and philosophical observations! This reminds me much of my youth in the Great Plains of NW North Dakota.

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

A lot of Californians do move out here, though probably not your sort--to the point there was a billboard that said "Don't California our Wyoming."
Uh-oh. No, if I moved there, I would probably be "Wyoming your Wyoming"!
