Kit and Carol on the Road

Nellie the Navigator did an excellent job of locating Roy and Donna's farm outside of DeSmet and she also found cousins Carrie and Lois. The missing Carrie is now found--she is alive and well, but her memory is gone and she doesn't remember Mom. We had a nice visit with Lois too. Roy and Donna took us around to see all the old family homestead sites--AND fed us a wonderful home grown lunch. One of the highlights of our South Dakota stay was following a bake sale sign on the backroads. We ended up in a Hutterite community (not as strict as Amish but they are a traditional farm based community of German heritage). Besides tons of wonderful baked goods they were having a lunch for $3.(Turkey sandwich, potato salad, all kinds of pickles--and dessert). We chatted with some teachers from Huron who sat across the table.
