It's been too long since I have written. It's been a whirlwind during the month of July. We went to South Dakota for a long weekend to visit with my aunt, uncle and cousins. It started out rough. We left on a Thursday night. A late Thursday night, almost very early Friday morning. We drove to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Checked into a Super 8 at 3am. At 8am I woke up, looked out the window and saw glass on the ground of the parking lot. Glass from our back passenger window. I screamed. Ken and I ran out and realized that some punks broke into our car, ravaged through the contents and then took nothing. Nothing but our feeling of security. So the hotel maintenance guy helped us when we realized that no glass shops were open on this weekend. He hooked us up with plastic sheeting and duck tape. We left for our trip to SD in our trashy mobile. A rough start.
But when we reached our destination it was great. A beautiful lake with a loving family waiting for us. The boys rode sea doos and a pontoon. They watched their Nonnie and great Auntie Annie ride sea doos (and scream the whole time!). We ate and ate and ate--this is what happens when my mom and aunt who are phenomenal cooks get together. We talked and laughed and reacquainted ourselves with each other. It was a long drive with an unfortunate occurence but it was worth it in the end.
