Cheyenne Wyoming Update.  It is offically Spring in Cheyenne Wyoming!!  Hmmmm...wonder where it went.  We got close to 6" of a nice, wet snow on Tuesday, and it was mostly gone by Wednesday.  Had a river in the street.  This time of year Cheyenne gets a lot of its percipitation in the form of these great wet snows.  We can look forward to more of these.  Seems like we usually get a wet storm as late as the first week of May, so don't put your winter clothes away yet. 

Tuesday, with the cold wind and wet snow, I thought it was just the time to visit one of my favorite restaurants.  So, I ventured out to The Pie Lady!!!   What wonderful pies, sandwiches and soups this place offers.  Over 20 different  specialty pies, and of course the standard favorite ones.

One can't go wrong visiting this great restaurant.  Not a chain, a small business unique to Cheyenne.  Please go by if you haven't already.  The Pie Lady is one of Cheyenne's best kept secrets...Open from 8-8 and closed on Sunday's and Monday's.
