Greetings from Rapid City, South Dakota.   Home to the Dahl Arts Center, Music on the Square and the Mannhalter Clan.   We got to spend Friday through Sunday morning with these crazies and I needed two days to recover.   We had a great time.   We ate at 8:00 on Friday night and the young guys at the bar had the timerity to semi-ignore Tracy and Kim.  You might think Kim would have been who they should have feared most but you would be totally wrong.  Tracy was all over them for shabby service and then all over us for buying dinner.  She even gave Kim the mom snap, right in the face to express her displeasure. Saturday involved a walk, a trip to Hill City and then a cook-out with Bert, Rachel, Little Michael and Michael’s sister.  What fun!  Hill City was fun and we stopped at the Winery that Claudia and Kellye visited.

What great friends!  We so enjoyed their company and their hospitality.   We are so very lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives.  

The shops in Hill City were cute.  Thought these were both appropriate: 

Tracy and Michael spoiled us big time.  We washed clothes and dishes, slept in a fabulously comfy bed and ate fresh food from their garden.   They sent us off with smiles and hugs and a large jar of homemade peach jam!  Now we just have to figure out how to toast bread in the camper! 

On to Montana and Glacier National Park feeling rested and truly blessed.
