SANDRA and HER "NEW" CAR


We woke up yesterday morning and it was 11 degrees. Fortunately, we had hitched up the night before and had everything but the TV antenna and the electrical cord disconnected. We had planned to leave by 8:00 but it was 9:00 before we got away. Sheri and Sandra came out and had coffee with Larry, Evelyn, Emily and me so we got to tell them goodbye one last time. It was sad leaving, and they said that they would miss us (but, Sheryl, as Mom used to say, "it'll be a good ole miss".) We were at Perth almost three months and we really enjoyed it. Everyone's hospitality was wonderful even though Evelyn had to do too much cooking.

Last night we made it to Mitchell, SD at about 6:00. It was 408 miles from Perth and we were pretty tired. We found a nice RV park that has 50 amp hookups but with no water. We feel fortunate to have found anything since most of them close in September or October. We stayed warm last night and the temperature this morning was only down to 34 degrees. We will probably stay here two or three days since the weather is supposed to good for awhile. This morning we ate breakfast at Perkins and now Emily has gone to Walmart. The sun is shining brightly and it is 48 degrees outside.

It really feels good to be back where we have telephones that work and we have internet right in the trailer. There is a Walmart and Kmart nearby and the Pizza Ranch is just around the corner. Life is good (but we already knew that).
