All work and no play…

Mark has been working really hard around the yard and in the garage since he got back from Tucson with his bike. He would like to be able to ride it, but somehow, he’s lost his bike keys and had to order a new set which should arrive in a couple of weeks. I have also lost my car keys somewhere around here. We’ve turned the house upside down and no keys have shown up. Fortunately for me, Mark had an extra copy of my car key, so we’ve been sharing that.

“Mark surprised me by making it home tonight! At first, he had said he would be home by the 18th. Last night, he said he’d probably spend the night in Green Bay tonight so that he could get a new set of tires for my car (I’ve had a flat tire since Thursday and haven’t been able to go anywhere). This afternoon, he texted me and said, “See you soon!”, and I said, “Like today?” He sent me a big grin!

This morning, Mark and I had to again get up at 6:00. We drove to Serenity and Jose’s place in Algoma and left our car there. They took us down to Milwaukee, WI and dropped us off at the Jim May Gallery where our daughter, Kader works. She had just flown back from Florida with another of our daughters, Lara, yesterday. Lara is only going to be in Wisconsin for a couple of days, so this was our best chance to see them both. Serenity and Jose went off to do their own exploring while we visited.

Today was my birthday. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and as I was washing my hands, I was humming “Happy birthday to me!” I had to get up at 6:00 this morning to go to a tourism breakfast in Sturgeon Bay with my boss and co-workers from the Welcome Center, but it was fun. We have a new staff member and it was a good opportunity to get to know her better.

This morning, as we were leaving western South Dakota, I was thinking that South Dakota must be so beautiful, I wouldn’t mind living there. I even looked up the median home price in comparison to other states, and it was less than Wisconsin or Arizona! But then we started heading across the rest of South Dakota, and it was mostly flat and dry. I didn’t take many pictures of the flat parts.

Sight seeing

It has been so long since Mark and I used to stop at sights along our route that I was really looking forward to today, but I’m feeling my age tonight! I should mention that Mark used an actual camera and I was able to download his sim card more easily than I could the pictures from my phone with our connection issues here in the Black Hills. There are a few of mine mixed in here, but most of them are Mark’s.

Our reception here at the Mt Rushmore KOA isn’t very good, so I wasn’t able to download many pictures, which is probably just as well since I’ve been staying up late to process all the ones I’ve published.
