Where Great Grandma Grew Up ~Weekend Road Trip ~This Old Dog Struggles to Learn New Tricks


This is what social distancing looks like in the Dakotas...
not another car in sight!
 
It was a beautiful day for a drive out in the country.
Hubby got his big pickup ready for a little road trip.

We picked up his mother and headed northwest
to visit the little town where she grew up,
went to school, and met her sweetheart.

This was her childhood home.
Oh how we loved to hear her reminiscing
about the house, her family,
the neighbors, and the local businesses.

I was disappointed that we couldn’t find
the little country cemetery where her mother is buried.
Hubby suspects that it is underwater.
In fact, he had to use four-wheel drive
just to get us back to the road.

It was a beautiful day for an outing.
We spent the whole afternoon and evening looking around.
The perfect ending to our day was
a Twist Cone Turtle Sundae!

Take care,

Perhaps you are wondering what “new tricks” I am referring to?
Google apparently felt the need to update their Blogger App.
There have been plenty of kinks and glitches,
which explains why my posts have been few and far between. 

I know, I’ll be the first to admit,
it’s a challenge for this retired empty nester
to adjust to new technology.
