We are in Spearfish South Dakota this morning, and pretty excited to get to Bismarck and see things for ourselves. It's about 5 hours from here.
We had great weather for the drive from Denver. Dad did actually drive some of it, but his stomach was touching the steering wheel. (Because the car was so packed, the seat wouldn't move back far enough) We drove to Kevin McNevin's CD about Wyoming, and one from the Bar J Wranglers (thank you Colt and Adele) - it just seemed appropriate. We listened to other things too.
We met Diane and Nana for breakfast yesterday morning, and because of the setting and the circumstances the "good-bye" wasn't as painful as I had anticipated. I can say the same thing for the good-byes from the Denver kids as well. I don't want you to think that because there wasn't uncontrolled weeping, it wasn't sad to leave. But I appreciate all of you helping to make it easier for us.
The final sorting and packing was painful too. We probably still have things that we don't need....we'll know more by tonight.
Dad reminds me - and I remind you also - that in Bismarck we are in Central Time. It will take awhile to get used to that and make the necessary corrections when we call you.
Okay - got to get ready and go - exciting day ahead. Love to you all. Mom
