| As "The Great One" might have said, "And awaaayyy we go!" Here's what we're thinking: Today, we head out to the Great Minnesota Get Together to see our favorite bluegrass band, The Gibson Brothers, perform. From calls earlier this week, we plan to see The Early Guy and The Early Bride and, perhaps, some other Mooselings, as well. Whatever else may happen, we're gonna find some of those little donuts. I never had any of those till last year at the Ridgeland Fair. Where have they been all my life? Sherry and I plan to demolish a bag (or two) of those, plus, probably, something on a stick. By early afternoon, we're on the road to Fargo, another of my former "stomping grounds", to crash for the night. Maybe get to Smokey's in West Fargo for supper. Tomorrow, up and at 'em, though not too early...maybe sleep in till 5:00 or 6:00...then we're heading west toward Montana, with probable stops at Jamestown for the giant buffalo, New Salem for the giant Holstein, and, if time permits, we want to stop at the Theodore Roosevelt Grasslands Park, before winding down the day at Miles City, Montana, where it's expected to hit 95 degrees on Friday and Saturday. A bit unusual for this time of year, but the air conditioning works. Sherry (aka Sisbiddy), as usual, is the brains in this outfit, as regards computers and photos and the website (which she designed). We plan to take a bunch of photos and hope to get some on the website during the trip, depending on the availability of computer facilities along the road. Thank you for understanding the need to get out of town, while it's still up to us, for a while. We miss you guys too. Later. Jay and Sherry |
