Busy Busy!!











This week has been busy. Making mints, Coffee and work...luckily my computer is still working and the orders are coming in for the month. Mike polished his bike even though it has been very windy and raining. The temperature also got down to 35' at night. Thank goodness these two weather patterns did not happen at the same time or we would have had snow.



Friday May 13th we rode to Chamberlain to honor the National Guard unit that is deploying to Afghanastan (sp). Wind gusts up to 30mph and a temperature of 45' reminded me of riding in Alaska. Mike and I had no idea that we were enlisted to ride in a parade and then down the highway at about 80mph. It was COLD. We were supposed to ride all the way to Pierre but with the weather- we all cried "uncle" and went back to Kennebec.


Graduation was Saturday May 14th so we helped Jordan celebrate his new position in life as a graduate. Cake, punch and mints at the family and friends gathering.


Today (Sunday May 15th) we woke to light winds and the promise of some sun. About noon the sun came out the winds got alot stronger and we took off on the bikes. The Pioneer Auto Museum has an annual auto and antique auction so we went to see what that was all about. A quick tour of the museum left us $18.00 poorer and we determined that alot of our parents junk may have ended up there. The few cars that were of interest were covered in dust and had not seen a carwash for quite some time.


Tomorrow I have phone meetings all day so we will leave for Rapid City on Tuesday.
