Thanks, this one arrived in the box today.

Releasing this audio book to the 2011 Convention.

To the finder: I hope you enjoy finding this book as much as I did releasing it!

I'm still getting over the shock that I have anything written by any member of the Cheney family in my home.

I tried to listen to this, thinking at least I'd learn something about Wyoming, but I simply don't have Any interest in this woman's life or family stories. maybe someone else will.

I'm going to try and release this at a local University called Cheney University. Will post wjphen I do.

To Audiobook RABCK winner iwillrejoice (finally).

This arrived today in a big box of books from pritzkit in Pennsylvania. Thank you! I typically enjoy biographies & memoirs, so I'll look forward to giving this one a try. :-)

This was a tad slower moving than I would have liked.

5 CDs
Abridged
Read by the author

Reserved for my Audiobook VBB.

Released to booklady331 in Florida as one of her selections from my Audiobook VBB. Happy travels, little book!

Arrived at my house today. Thank you,Iwillrejoice, for sending it to me. I am looking forward to listening to this book by a brilliant woman. It should be interesting as Lynne holds an PhD. in English.

The book was a little slow. I did learn some about living in Wyoming. Some of the situations and descriptions of the high school are similar to the current situations in high school. I found that funny.

Enjoy! Adding to BigJohnLefty's audio bookbox for the next listener

Took this out of BigJohnLefty's First CD-Only AudioBookBox. I like biographies and memoirs. Esp. interested as Lynne Cheney graduated from my home state's wonderful University of Wisconsin. Go Badgers!

Although Lynne Cheney is a bit older than I, she was more around the age of my oldest brother and sister. When she was talking about her life growing up in the 50's, I could relate to some of the things she experienced, like the TV shows, what kids did for entertainment, and school dress codes. I remember girls having to wear dresses to school and, being a "tomboy", I was forever the bane of my third grade teacher's existence as I was constantly "roughing it " out on the playground with dress flying high and undies showing. I think that is the year I was allowed to wear stretch pants under my dress during recess. LOL! I also remember my sister being sent home from high school because she failed the "kneeling test" for skirt length.

Lynne Cheney's memoir was not the most exciting one I have ever read, but it was a glimpse at a time when life moved a little slower. It was also a look at how attitudes, values and lifestyles have changed and have not changed, in which Mrs. Cheney points out. I also enjoyed listening to the family history part of the book. I guess cause I too have delved into my own family's genealogy. I find the stories, the resourcefulness and perseverance of our ancestors fascinating and inspiring.

Thanks for sharing. I hope to pass this along in the very near future. :-)

I'm putting this into BigJohnLefty's Another CD-Only Audiobook Box. Happy Travels! Happy Reading!

Chose from Big John Lefty's Another Audiobookbox.

This was an OK listen on my work commutes. I am some years younger than the author but could still relate to many of her memories of that time in history. I also live "next door" to Wyoming and I am familiar with some of the places she talks about. I didn't feel there was anything extraordinary about her life or her family's history.

Sending to Aberpeter in WA.

I find the book Blue Skies, No Fences, to be less of a memoir and more of a research paper told in story format. Ms. Cheney recaps her family tree, starting with her great grandparents, grandparents, and then her parents. She does this again, With Mr. Cheney's family. She also tells of growing up in 1940's & 50's in Casper. But many of the stories are not a personal recap of her life, but a summary of news articles covering events which happened in Casper. Such as the process Casper went through to have television broadcast in the area, including all the shows Ms. Cheney watched, with a small synopsis of each show. She also recapped old football games from her high school years, highlighting important plays which either led her high school to victory or sealed their fate.

I found this book to be a family history that maybe you'd want to pass down to future generations within the Cheney family. For those with no ties to the family or Casper, WY, this book is likely to be found quite boring.
