Centennial is one of my favorite places to be. It’s about half an hour west of Laramie close to the Snowy Range Mountains. Susan’s cousins, Tony and Kelli and Baby Chance live here! Kelli and Jenn also own the Friendly Store…which encompasses a gas station, convenience store, cafe, bar, and motel all in one. Kelli told me that all the businesses in Centennial are owned by women…very cool.

Susan is “Centennial’s Favorite Cousin” (official title) so we always have a great time playing music there and it feels like the whole town comes, which is maybe the case.

I have decided I will take a month sometimes and rent a room at the Friendly and write a novel or perhaps a book about Centennial itself…it’s got loads of character and characters in it. If I went in the winter there would be nothing to do except sit and write, I am pretty sure…I could get a ton done. I’m pretty sure I would be ok and not go all stir crazy and end up not writing a thing and watching Oprah instead…but it does get cold and snowy and the wind does blow 100 mph sometimes.
