Trip to Wyoming

We just got back from Boulder Wyoming! We stayed at a Llama Ranch owned by Al and Sondra Ellis. They started out with 5 Llamas back in the late 1980s and now have 187 animals. They are beautiful and you just want to reach out and give 'em a big hug. While that's tempting, you don't want to do it! They might spit on you. (That's the Llamas who spit, NOT the Ellises...tee-hee) In spite of that fact, we think EVERYONE should take a back-packing trip with your own guide aka. Sherpa.

These mostly white Llamas are some of "The Girls" and the photo below them are a few of "The Boys"

This guy's name is "Tony"........get it................Tony Llama?


This is Mr. Ellis. He has a great smile! He LOVES Wyoming and his Llamas.




This is their
"Ranch House".
They put us up for the night and gave us breakfast and lunch.

They treated us like Royalty, and yet we felt like family.

They're very hospitable and it was a very productive meeting. We're so anxious to finally REALLY get going with this project. We've been working on this Cosmotology and Barbering School for almost a year! We know their building here in Murray is the best place to be and we're excited that THEY think so, too. I think it is definitely a turning point for ALL of us! Yay!

Yahoo! Mr. Ellis looks very kind, I am so glad that you guys bypassed the agents and went right to the source. Yay!

The irony is that HE by-passed the agents and called US...........and double YaY!

Looks like the plan might work.

Your comment was really nice and made my day. I hope Brianna can recover from this and have a break from chaos for a while! Pr has made a stronger (and a little frustrated at times) :)
