What to wear UNDER the Graduation Gown?
Page 10
HouseHunterWY.com
April
The graduation robe is voluminous enough without adding any extra girth from bulky clothing. Graduation gowns fall short of formflattering, so wearing many layers beneath a gown will only add to the volume. You may not have time to change between the ceremony and the after-party or dinner, so it’s important to wear something that is appropriate for the next venue. Save time and embarrassment by wearing clothing that will seamlessly transition to a family dinner or after-party.
Consider the bottoms worn as well. Men can choose khakis or solid-colored slacks. Avoid wearing pants that are the same color as the graduation robe, as you want a little contrast. Women who wear skirts or dresses that end above the knee and will not show beneath the gown hem have more freedom. Avoid long skirts or dresses that can make the outfit look weighed down when paired with the gown. Graduates’ shoes will be on full display come the big day. Therefore, wear new, clean shoes that are presentable and formal. Avoid sneakers or flip-flops, which are too casual. casual beneath a cap and gown, Keep in mind the location of the Graduation attire can set go but grads might regret that decision ceremony and the forecast.

Home Management in the Digital Age --Home automation is becoming all the rage, but many homeowners balk at rigging up remotely controlled thermostats or security systems because they’re concerned about the cost or about locking into contracts. And some DIY’ers don’t want automation, but they do want to bring a little order into the chaos of home maintenance and improvement. Fortunately, the explosion of mobile apps is making life a bit easier ... and at an affordable price. Here are some of the latest connected devices that aim to make home management, automation and security easier: • BrightNest: This home maintenance app for iOS (think iPhones and iPads) and Android platforms helps you set up a maintenance schedule and offers helpful tips on cleaning and maintenance. Free. (brightnest.com, App Store or Google Play) • Cozi Family: Need to assign chores to the kids or split up home-maintenance tasks? This app can do that. It also syncs with everyone’s device from a single account and has a simple interface. Free. (www.cozi.com, App Store or Google Play) • HomeZada: This desktop software allows you to make an inventory of all your home’s systems for free. For $59 a year, it gives you maintenance reminders and instructions, a calendar, a remodeling budget tool and more. (www.homezada.com) • Nest: While this startup company’s physical products include a “learning thermostat” and a smoke/CO detector, both of which can be controlled remotely, it’s also partnering with other tech firms to connect systems in and outside your home -- from your car to your fitness wristband and more. Products can be found online or at home-improvement stores, and start at $99 for the smoke/CO detector. (nest. com) • Notion: This home-sensor system goes beyond the standard security system: It senses pretty much anything you want it to, whether it’s an open garage door, an almost-empty propane tank or a window being lifted. The system sends a message to your smartphone. Sensors along with a necessary Wi-Fi bridge are available on line and start at $129. (getnotion.com)

And with many families who buy from Carpet Express Direct regularly, finding a flooring solution friendly to all ages is something at which they excel. Consumerreports. org says this about those options most appropriate for a family atmosphere: “if you have a busy family and you’re re-flooring a high-traffic area—think dragged and dropped toys and food, high chairs, and spilled drinks—you’ll want durability as well as looks. The best solid wood, laminate, and vinyl in our ratings were also best in our simulated foot-traffic tests. All the flooring types listed here performed adequately in our slip-resistance tests, though vinyl tended to provide slightly more slip resistance and engineered wood slightly less.” Of the available options, vinyl seems best suited for folks of all ages. It is inexpensive and durable, as well as spill-resistant and customizable. And at Carpet Express Direct, there is not only a great selection of hardwood, laminate, carpet and tile, they’ve also got great deals on vinyl going right now! The marble patterns of Craftmark Riveara are great for any bathroom and cheap like a songbird at only $2.66/ square foot.

Poor Johnny; working as a Kansas carnie to pay the bills. If only he had left that candle alone. If only he hadn’t leaned it up on the tissues so it lasted longer.

• With garden centers bursting with spring planting supplies, here’s a handy and fun twine keeper you can make with your kids using two repurposed clay flowerpots with drain holes. Choose a size that can easily fit a ball of twine or thin rope. Set the ball inside and invert one pot on top the other, threading the line through the drain hole of the top pot. Secure with tape or even hot glue. Now you can pull twine through the hole without the ball getting all tangled up! • “If you have a poster that has been rolled up and you want to hang it, try rolling it the opposite way and leaving it overnight. When you unroll it, there will be fewer bumps, and the edges won’t curl so much.” -- R.L. in Idaho • The best way to quickly chill canned and bottled drinks is in a mix of ice and water. This works because ice water makes complete contact with the surface of a can or bottle, while ice alone makes only partial contact.

FITNESS TIPS FOR BUSY MOMS
May
the early morning is that many people who follow such regimens insist they have more energy throughout the rest of the day. · Exercise with the kids. Working mothers looking to find time for exercise can turn part of family time into a time to exercise with their children. Play in the yard with youngsters while dinner is cooking or go for nightly post-meal walks. Exercising with kids is a great way for mothers to get their daily exercise while also instilling a love of physical activity in their children.
Working mothers have a lot on their plates. In addition to the responsibilities that come with raising a family, working moms also must focus on their careers. Many mothers find that managing such hectic balancing acts leaves little time for physical fitness. But there are ways for working moms to stay physically fit even as they juggle their commitments to career and family. · Work out in the early morning. Working out in the early morning,
when the kids are still asleep and the office has yet to open, is a great way for busy working mothers to get their daily exercise. Designate a room in your home where you can spend time each morning doing some light strength training before hitting the treadmill or elliptical machine. The United States Department of Health and Human Services recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each week, and women who get up just 45 minutes earlier each morning can meet those requirements and then some. An added benefit to working out in

· Have a backup plan on hand. Working out at a gym can be motivational, as many mothers want to make sure their monthly membership fees aren’t going to waste. But there will inevitably be days when working mothers can’t get to the gym. Prepare for such days by purchasing home workout DVDs you can play while the kids are doing their homework or after they have gone to bed. · Look for gyms with childcare. Many gyms now offer on-site childcare to parents of young children who can’t stay home alone while their folks are at the gym. Gyms that offer on-site childcare may prove more reliable and even less expensive than hiring a sitter, and some gyms even offer fitness programs to youngsters, helping to ensure kids get the daily exercise they need as well. · Exercise during lunch breaks. If possible, squeeze in your daily exercise during lunch breaks. Take advantage of on-site exercise facilities if your company offers them. If not, take your lunch outside and then go for a walk around the campus or a nearby park rather than eating at your desk. Finding time to exercise is a common dilemma for working mothers. But there are some creative ways for moms to stay fit without affecting their commitments to work and family.

SEEDING AND WATERING YOUR LAWN
2015
HouseHunterWY.com
Page 17
ing to the rate indicated on the seed bag for the type of grass you will be growing. Choose a grass seed that will thrive in your climate. Certain seeds are more tolerant of drought and sunlight, while other species are better for shady areas or damper climates. Again, if you have any questions, consult with a lawn and garden center. · Spread the seed with a broadcast spreader. Some lawn experts recommend spreading the seed in parallel rows and then repeating the process again in rows set at a right angle to the first series of rows for the best chances of seed coverage. The seeds then can be raked into the soil, covered with a little more soil and patted down.
Restoring lawns and gardens back to their pre-winter glory is high on many a homeowner’s landscaping to-do list. In much of the country, the best times to tackle lawn projects are when temperatures are moderate, like in spring and fall. These seasons also mark the best time to seed and fertilize. Planting and fertilizing new grass seed should be done when frost is no longer a concern and before frost arrives if you are planting in autumn. According to Roger Cook, a landscape contractor and contributor to This Old House magazine, sowing lawn seed should be done when the soil is warm, the daytime temperatures are moderate and you can keep the new seeds quite moist at all times. While grass seed can be applied in the summer, it is more challenging to get the seeds to take root and thrive
at this time, as water is more likely to evaporate under the hot sun. Also, many weeds germinate in the heat of summer. As a result, the weeds can infiltrate areas of the lawn where you planted, compromising the look of your lawn. The process of reseeding and fertilizing your lawn is relatively similar if you decide to do so in late spring or early fall. · Rake the parts of the lawn you plan to seed and remove any debris or rocks. · Apply fertilizer to the cleared planting area. Use a rake or tiller to break up the soil and distribute the fertilizer to a depth of roughly two to four inches. Speak with a landscaper about which type of fertilizer you will need depending on where you live. Many fertilizers contain extra phosphorous to stimulate root growth in the lawn. · Moisten the prepared area and let the soil settle. You want the soil damp but not so wet that it causes the newly applied fertilizer to run off. · Begin to sow the grass seed accord-
· Water to keep the seeds damp. This may require watering twice or more per day until the seeds begin to germinate. Covering the seeds with about 1/4 inch of straw also can help keep the seeds moist, deter seed scavengers and prevent soil erosion. Remove the straw once the grass begins to grow. · Roughly four weeks after the seeds have started to grow, apply another round of fertilizer to replenish the top layer of soil with nutrients that may have washed away from the constant watering. Homeowners can employ a similar process to overseed a lawn in the hopes of producing a thicker, more attractive landscape. Any thatch and debris should be raked away, and the top layer of the lawn surface can be gently aerated. Top dress the lawn with a very thin layer of new soil and compost. Broadcast the seed over the prepared lawn and lightly rake the new seeds to help them settle into the soil. Apply fertilizer and water the lawn frequently to keep the new seeds moist. Once the seed has established itself, you can water the lawn for longer periods and less frequently to help develop strong roots. Wait for the lawn to reach a height of three to four inches before the first cut of the season.

QUICK TIPS TO LOOK YOUNGER THIS SUMMER
There are various ways that women can give themselves more youthful looks, and many of those ways do not require much time or money
Makeup
When done correctly, various makeup techniques can take years off of a woman’s appearance. Using a foundation color that matches your skin is key. Wearing a shade that is too light can wash you out, and one that is too dark can drag down features. As a person ages, the lips can lose color and definition. Wear a shade of lipstick that makes the lips appear more plump and dewy. A shade of pink similar to your natural lip shade can achieve this. Pink shades in general will add to the youthful tone of younger skin and are relatively flattering on most skin tones.
Cosmetic Fillers
Many young people, and adolescents in particular, desire to look older. But those desires often shift as men and women reach middle age, at which time looking younger becomes a priority. When wrinkles crop up or laugh lines appear, people are quick to run out and find methods to wipe away the years. Fortunately for adults, there are plenty of ways to create more youthful looks when Father Time starts catching up.
Cosmetic fillers can help create a plumper appearance in the cheeks and face, and such an appearance is frequently associated with youth. These injections have been successful for many women. Women considering cosmetic fillers should exercise caution and do their research. Women should always work with a board-certified dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon who has experience performing the procedures they prefer.
Revamp Your Hair
Hair that falls just below the shoulders can be flattering on women with various face shapes. Well-placed highlights can add dimension to hair and take years off of your look as well. Some hairstylists also advise women wear bangs to appear more youthful. Bangs and a well-shaped cut can hide a large forehead or some wrinkles.
Page 19
Gain A Little Weight
As a woman ages, she may lose weight in her face. As a result, women who are naturally thin may look more gaunt as the years go by. Gaining just a few healthy pounds can help round out your face and help you appear healthier and younger.
Teeth Whitening
The years can be particularly tough on a person’s smile. Foods and beverages can stain enamel over time and contribute to yellowing of the teeth. Investing in an at-home whitening kit or visiting the dentist for a professional whitening session can make teeth look less worn down.
Moisturize
Skin can lose moisture and elasticity as one ages. You may be quick to apply moisturizer to your face, but don’t neglect your neck and hands, as such areas often show age.

Putting the “Steak” in “Steakhouse” By Kevin Bennett
made just for steaks! You can’t cook bacon and eggs on it! It just does steaks. There is equipment designed specifically for steaks and steak houses—that’s what I’ve got.” Indeed, no expense has been spared! “We opened operations in November of 2013,” says Ric Schuyler of the Legendary Boot Hill Steak House and Night Club. “We’re catering big time,” he continues, “we’ve got banquet facilities here on site, plus off site. But the beauty of it is, off site now I can do barbeque also. We have people who absolutely want the smoked prime rib I do at Pokey’s—a wedding, for instance. And it absolutely bleeds over, and now I can do even more. As far as the food goes, it’s unlimited really.”
And he does not understate the case! Some of the most succulent steaks in Gillette can be found at Boot Hill, and that’s because Ric knows how to do steak right. “We’re bringing a different type of cuisine to Boot Hill. More seafood, more steaks. I’ve got equipment
Ric Schuyler is the owner and purveyor of Pokey’s Barbeque, an award-winning restaurant in Gillette. Terry Brown, owner of Boot Hill, couldn’t help but notice not only was the food good, Ric’s a good guy too; and he really knows his cooking. So the two have been working together as a team to bring quality dining and entertainment to Gillette Wyoming. There’s always something new and exciting at Boot Hill. Says Ric: “We’re starting an all you can eat week—like Shark Week, only all you can eat. Every day we’re open there’ll be another entrée we’re doing that’s all you can eat. Along with the regular menu, of course. No two the same night. It’s every week!” One thing Ric stressed was the community aspect of Boot Hill’s new endeavor: “…we did this for Gillette, and I’ve done so much for Gillette through the
years—with giving back and stuff—this is just another one of those things. It’s not a box! This isn’t boxed food. It’s local. Local guys offering something to the locals. For Gillette, By Gillette.” Yes, there’s something for everyone at Boot Hill Steakhouse. Not into steak or seafood? “We actually are changing up some things now to offer more, less expensive fare. More burgers, that type of thing. More pastas. For people with a limited budget that would like to go out more.”
And there’s really no reason not to! Top of the line entertainment from folks who know the business—like owner Terry Brown!—accompanied by top of the line food from top of the line cuisine engineers like Ric Schuyler. Come on out to the Legendary Boot Hill Steakhouse for food, refreshment and entertainment. The restaurant opens up at five, and just about every night of the week there’s something new and exciting going on up the hill. Boot Hill, that is. Drop in for a steak and see for yourself!

Conquering The Clutter: Cleanliness With Kids Is Not Impossible
Famed comedienne Phyllis Diller once said, “Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the sidewalk before it stops snowing.” Many parents realize that having children means their homes will be filled with a vast assortment of toys, clothing and other items that seemingly spend more time scattered across the family room floor than in children’s bedrooms.
Homes where young children lay their heads at night may not be as tidy as the photos lining home decorating magazine spreads. But while lived-in family homes may never be spotless, they do not have to be overrun with clutter, either. It’s possible to find a happy balance with the right strategy and by investing in a few organizational products. • Work one room at a time. Cleaning up cluttered homes can seem like a monumental effort when looking at clutter as a whole. But parents can do themselves a favor by choosing a starting point and tackling the project one room at a time. Find the room that needs the most work or a space where clutter causes the biggest headaches. Once you clean such rooms, you may discover extra motivation to move on to the others. • Resist the urge to wander. One of the obstacles many people face when attempting to declutter a home is the tendency to remove an item from one
room only to add it to the existing clutter in another room. For example, if a child’s toy is in the living room, you may walk that toy up to the bedroom and get involved in tidying up the bedroom, leaving the mess behind in the living room. When organizing a home, stay in a particular room until that room is clean. Have designated bins or bags for items that need to be carried into another room, but only transfer such containers after a room has been cleaned.
• Cull twice a year. Children accumulate the greatest number of new toys on birthdays and holidays. Set a schedule to go through existing toys prior to these events and sort out the broken, old or seldom-used items. Donate these toys to preschools, afterschool programs, family support centers, or babysitting centers at your office or gym. Whatever can’t be salvaged should be put into the trash or recycling bins. • Invest in storage cubes and bins. Toys that are easily accessible and seen are easier to find and put away. Develop a storage system that works for your family. Labeling bins with words (or pictures for children who can’t yet read) helps children identify where things belong. Find a system that will have long-term functionality and grow with the family. Many stores sell storage bookcases that blend with home décor. • Tame the toys. Making too many items available at any given time can
become overwhelming to children. Rotate toys rather than always buying new ones so that items will be fresh and interesting. Toys out of the rotation can be stored in a basement or attic. Belongings that are not requested or missed can be given away. Another idea is to create wishlists for birthdays and holidays. This way friends and relatives only buy what kids want, rather than an array of toys that may just end up taking up space. • Get items off of the floor. Any organizational system that can move items vertically is beneficial. Children will become accustomed to hanging things up rather than leaving belongings on the floor. Hooks, hangers and shelving mounted on walls, will free up precious floor space. • Choose furniture that serves double duty. Beds with drawers underneath or a toy chest that doubles as a bench can work well in spaces that need some clutter control. • Establish a school memory box. Parents can give each of their children a plastic bin where they can store memorable items from school. Not every assignment or drawing sent home needs to be kept. Reserve the memory box for those special things that have the most meaning. Kids and clutter often go hand in hand. However, there are ways to keep the mess under control.

graduates. In many cases, rings include the graduation year and a stone that represents the school’s color. The size, shape and style of the ring may be predetermined by the school, or soon-to-be graduates may be permitted to design their own rings. Some schools contract jewelers to provide group pricing to students. However, students can work with jewelers on their own as well. Art Carved, Jostens and Balfour are some of the well-known class ring providers, but mainstream jewelers such as Kay and Zales also offer class rings and graduation jewelry presents.
Rings can be a lasting way to show school pride. Rings sometimes become heirlooms that are handed down graduating class. What sets these apart High school is not only a challenging from other school momentos is that they through the generations as kids follow in time in a young student’s life, but also a often can be customized based on the the footsteps of their ancestors. period that can have a profound impact interests of the student. on a young person, as so many memoMen and women often cherish their ries are created in the years school yearbooks and class rings from Class rings can feature names, team students spend in high school. high school.

Yearbooks
Yearbooks are perhaps the most popular memento among graduates. Schools and yearbook committees go to great lengths to produce yearbooks that highlight the best of what a school has to offer. Well-received yearbooks are those that not only include the standard snapshots of the student body, but piece together the candid photos and stories that really paint a picture of a school and its graduating classes. From a freshman dance to a senior theater production, yearbooks include it all, serving as a one-stop scrapbook of school recollections. Sales of yearbooks may also be put toward fundraising efforts for the school - fueling future programs and resources for students. Yearbooks give students an accessible way to look back on their youth and shared experiences with other students.

Weeknight Activities The Whole Family Can Enjoy
devices and resist the temptation of social media on weeknights is to get together for weekly writing sessions. Ask each family member to create brief lists on a range of topics, whether it’s a list of favorite books or countries each person wants to visit or a bucket list of things each family member wants to do at one point in their lives. Allow about 15 minutes for each person to write his or her lists, and then discuss each person’s list, including the inspiration behind each item that made it onto the lists.
Many families have their own routines on weeknights. Kids may tackle their homework before dinner, and once everyone’s plate is clean, family members may spend time together or go their separate ways, spending time online with friends or watching their favorite television programs on the couch.
Parents who feel their weeknights don’t include enough family time are often on the hunt for more family-friendly activities the whole family can enjoy even if everyone has to go to work or school the next day. The following are a handful of family-friendly weeknight activities that can bring families closer together. • Movie night: Family movie night is a tradition for many families, and parents who want to spend more time together as families may find that movie
night is a great way to share a few laughs or even facilitate discussions about important topics broached in certain films. Each week let a different family member pick that week’s movie and ask him or her to explain his or her choice and why they think it’s a film the whole family will enjoy. Let the kids join you as you get the popcorn ready or make special treats to enjoy while the movie is playing. • Family walk: Walking is a great way for parents to instill a love of physical activity in their children, and nightly walks also make great opportunities for families to leave their devices behind and discuss the goings-on in their lives. Weather permitting, take a family walk after dinner each night, which can help make your family healthier and strengthen the bonds between family members. • Writing activities: Another way families can escape their
• Game night: Classic board games or games like checkers might not be as popular today as they were prior to the advent of the Internet, but that does not mean a night centered around such games does not still make for a very familyfriendly evening. Stock up on some classic board games and share the responsibility of choosing which game to play each week. Board games can take up to a few hours to play, and that’s a great opportunity for families to share some laughs without being interrupted by their devices. • Crafts night: Arts and crafts night is another great way for families to spend time together. Parents can choose ageappropriate projects that can help kids and adults alike tap into their creative sides. Solicit ideas when planning crafts night so everyone feels like they played their part. Nights together as a family do not need to be limited to weekends. Parents willing to get a little creative can enjoy familyfriendly evenings no matter what day it happens to be.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Did You Know?
A recent study authored by education and psychology experts in Australia suggests that kids are spending far more time looking at screens than the two hours recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Published in the journal BMC Public Health in early 2015, the study surveyed more than 2,600 Australian students between the ages of eight and 16 to determine how much screenbased media use, or SBMU, kids were averaging each day. SBMU included television viewing, computer usage and video game playing. The study determined that 45 percent of eight-year-olds and 80 percent of 16-year-olds were exceeding the recommended two hours of screen time per day.

God rules: there’s something to shout over! On the double, mainlands and islands celebrate! Bright clouds and storm clouds circle ‘round him; Right and justice anchor his rule Fire blazes out before him, Flaming high up the craggy mountains. His lightnings light up the world; Earth, wide-eyed, trembles in fear. The mountains take one look at God And melt, melt like wax before earth’s Lord. The heavens announce that he’ll set everything right, And everyone will see it happen - glorious! All who serve handcrafted gods will be sorry - And they were so proud of their ragamuffin gods! On your knees, all you gods - worship him! And Zion, you listen and take heart! Daughters of Zion, sing your hearts out: God has done it all, has set everything right. You, God, are High God of the cosmos, Far, far higher than any of the gods. God loves all who hate evil, And those who love him he keeps safe, Snatches them from the grip of the wicked. Light-seeds are planted in the souls of God’s people, Joy-seeds are planted in good heart-soil. So, God’s people, shout praise to God, Give thanks to our Holy God! Psalm 97 - the Message translation
