Happy Daylight Savings Time to everyone who doesn't live in Indiana.... LOL
After a week of arduous searching in the areas near and in the Black Hills, Keith and I just bought a little lot in Kadoka, SD, pop. 700! Early into the search, it became apparent that everything for sale in the BH area has a gold mine under it, or oil! So we were discussing it with our friends--that would be the ones who dragged us to Florida this winter--and they pointed out that the lot right next to theirs was not only vacant, but for sale--cheap. So, we've made a deposit on said lot--'house' and all. We figure the house is a good candidate for the local Fire Department's practice day.... but, it's a place to park our 'Box', when we're out West. :) Or, will be, once it's cleared, fenced and sporting a new slab of concrete to park on. This lot even has 2 TREES!!!! What a bonus!!! You don't find a lot of those out on the SD prairie! The little town is about 100 miles East of Rapid, which is nothing, out there. Hour and a half via the Interstate, and we're back in our beloved Hills. :)
Now, if we can just manage to get out of Florida and back to the kids in IL for a while..... They're not thrilled that we're selling out in IL, but they'll adapt. We'll put an RV hookup on their farmlette and be there as much as possible.... :) Like, I'm going to be there when Baby #2 arrives October 4!!!
Tomorrow we go to Orlando, in our friends' Tracker instead of our big GunBoat. :) Keith's first checkup with the surgeon is at 9 AM on Tuesday and it's a 2 hour drive up, so we're just going to bunk at the Days Inn overnite, save ourselves the hassle of trying to get there early on Tuesday. And, I'm pretty sure that NEITHER OF US has the stamina for 4 hours together with me driving, all in the same day!!! You might say that our driving styles are in direct conflict??? LOL! He's a 'put your foot in it and get on down the road, kind of guy...I'm a 'bit' more of a cautious driver..... I figure I'll allow plenty of time to get where I'm going and see the sights... :)
Ya'll have a great Sunday.....
