Writings from the Road, Part 2

Day 3: A day to sleep in and we were all slow moving. We stayed at a dumpy Super 8. On a positive note, the room was large and we all had a bed to sleep in. We spent the day with Kim and Lenny at their home helping them get ready for the wedding, preparing food, hanging out, and then took the boys swimming in the afternoon.

Day 4: The wedding day. We arrived over at Kim’s house about 10:30 and set to work setting up the place for the wedding that took place in the backyard. Then the wedding at 2. The weather was perfect for them. The chief and the boys spent most of the “after wedding” playing hill billy golf and tossing beanbags. They all wanted to avoid the beer guzzling and smoke of the front yard crowd. I was in charge of making sure the food was served and kept cold. We were all exhausted when we left that evening. We said our good-byes as we planned to leave early the next morning! Afterall, the adventures of South Dakota awaited our arrival!
