Daddy’s Girl and Big Mike with Grandson Stephen, recently took a trip to South Dakota, where we met with old and new friends.
Travel
We spent some Quality time together on the drive North.
In Kansas, we drove through snow and winds, drove on some backroads, and found GOOD OLD DOWN HOME COOKING along the way.
We stopped in Bladen, NE to pick up a seed mix for the farm’s spring planting.
Then onto Aberdeen, SD.
Time with Friends
We spent most of our time meeting old friends, and visiting with Family. This always means time at, the ONE AND ONLY, R & A Bar on North Main. My sister-in-law and Brother own this family bar and I use it at as meeting place.
We generally obtain picking information from the regulars, and ALWAYS meet some new friends.
Michelle and Joel introduced us to Bonnie and Ray, and we went picking in their storage building. We filled our trailer with treasures. Bikes, signs, old lawn equipment, hard to find Hub Caps, toys, and MORE. Thank you Bonnie and Ray, it was a pleasure to meet you and see all your treasures.
My Brother Joel surprised me with the Bud Neon sign I have been trying to acquire from here for several years. It is now on display in My office.
Spent time with the nieces, grand nieces and nephews. Daddy’s girl summed it up best: we visited, we ate, we slept a little, and then we did it all over again the next day.
I want to thank my cousin, Terrance, for storing last years bought treasures and helping load them into the trailer. And his special lady Jess.
My OLD High school buddy, Daryl, and his wife, Judy, came down and had lunch with us, we got kicked out as the steakhouse wanted to close and we were still visiting, Thanks for Lunch.
The last evening we all gathered at Pizza Ranch for fun food and visiting. Thank you to Sisters Ruth and Kathy, with Husband Don, for chasing auction and garage sales buys for me.
Special Event
My sister, Colleen, and brother-in-law, Craig, arranged tickets to the Wings Game, which was Shrine night. I was honored to be a guest of the YELDUZ SHRINE of Aberdeen. What a sight when the Wings Scored and the Ice was filled with stuffed toys for the Shrine Hospital.
Because of Family and friends, we are able to acquire special items all year long.
We are truly Blessed children of GOD.
MAY GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA
