Update from Deadwood

So sorry I haven't made a daily posting like I hoped, we have not had internet every evening like I hoped.

First, we are doing very well. Especially Joe. He drove almost the whole day today. PTL.

 Friday night we stayed with Joes long lost cousin Jim and his lovely bride Lilus of, I believe it was, 57 years, a. Isn't that just cool There ought to be much more of that going around. We had a wonderful time getting to know them. What fun, and interesting people!. That was Sabina Kansas.

Rather pretty as we drove north out of Salina but then Toto, it did start looking like a slightly wrinkled bed sheet.











This was a rather interesting trike that we saw on the way.











Coming in To South Dakota we started to see tons of marshes flooded right up to the road. Very pretty land. I see why my brother likes it. It is all very corny country though.

We stayed Saturday night with my baby brother Jimmy. Yes, he was my baby brother, he is I think 15 or 16 years younger than me. Somewhere along the way someone done fed that boy too much corn. He got rather largish. :-) It was lovely getting at least a little time to visit with him. We just don't see each other enough with him hiding away in South Dakota where he can go out and fish for breakfast and take people big game hunting, I mean, whats with that?!






We had a lovely visit with him and his family. This is his fiance Melissa and their two cute, full of beans girls Kimberly and Modesty.











Today we drove to Deadwood. What an amazing drive. As we left the cornfields and began to climb there were dinasours being led by strangly anorexic people.

.

We decided to take the scenic detour through the Badlands. Our car severely overheated, as did we, and we had a terrible time going up and down the hills but it was well worth it. What amazing land!! Brenna was beside herself with the beauty. She kept saying she felt like her heart was being hugged by all the beauty!

We ended up at Walls Drugs of course, which was a HUGE disappointment but Brenna was delighted to meet a buffalo, even if he was a bit moth eaten, and she was very happy to find out that Harvey is real.

Tomorrow we will be in Casper WY to see our freinds Chrissy and Paul.

Thank you for your continued prayers!!!!

Love

Teri
