Today we slept in and then went down to I-90 and then over to Chamberlain, South Dakota for the day. It was 11:30 a.m. when we got to town and we were hungry. I looked up some places to eat in this small town (pop around 2,000) and looked up the menu to see if... Continue Reading →
4th Of July On The 3rd? (NE/SD/IA)
(Note to readers; each blog post covers about a week and is taken from parts of my travel journal.) We went north about 20 miles to Elk Point, South Dakota, for Lewis & Clark Trail.

Our Most Favorite Theme Park!
When you hear the name Branson, Missouri, what do you think of? For us it is Silver Dollar City. This 1800s theme park is our favorite. Kevin grew up coming here most every year and he and I came here quite a bit when we lived in Missouri. Later we still would make it here... Continue Reading →

John & Jane Doe, AZ
I got out my new Pampered Chef Pastry Mat and made a new recipe - tortillas. As I was preparing, I was curious about the difference between the Flatbread recipe I have and this new tortilla recipe. What is the difference, besides the thickness? Turns out not much. HA While the tortilla uses water, the... Continue Reading →
Exploring Chloride, AZ & Christmas Tree Pass, NV
I thought it would be fun to check out Chloride, Arizona. Autio (footnote 1) said it has the longest continuing post office in Arizona. The area had a big silver mine and had over 5000 people living here. It declined when people went off to fight the war. There are people still living here... Continue Reading →
A Catch-Up For You, Reader. :) Homebase.
