Tipi

A tipi-like structure marks every rest area in South Dakota. This particular rest area is on I-29 at the Vermillion exit, and this may have been my second stop here (ever) because it’s only 8 miles from home. (The first being a geocaching adventure.)

What though the odds be great or small,
old Notre Dame will win over all,
while her loyal sons are marching onward to victory.
Belinda & Friar Rico

It’s always great to reconnect with old friends. It’s been many, many years since Friar Rico and Belinda graced the Elk Point-Jefferson High School stage in the Worst High School Play in the World. No, really. That was the name of the play. The narrating characters ate throughout the entire play and with each scene, they gained another layer of fat suit. I hadn’t seen Stana or her husband Mitch for two years since my visit to northeast Tennessee, and we told stories and laughed like it was 1996. Of course, Facebook updates serve to help people stay connected, but they will never replace a real conversation.
ThanksChristmas

On Thanksgiving, the Curry’s have a unique family tradition that involves celebrating Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas cheer all in one day. The day began with a 3 mile Curry family Turkey Trot, this year in matching red logo T-shirts. My mom did a fantastic job with the table decorations in the new all-season patio, with a table each reflecting Thanksgiving, Christmas and Snowmen (January?) colors. A very filling dinner was followed by our White Elephant gift exchange and then Christmas desserts. And, I still had plenty of time to login online for the first Black Friday shift for work.
Puzzle

I like puzzles. Just not puzzles that have more than 500 pieces.
Annie’s

Things in Dinkytown were pretty quiet this Tuesday night before Thanksgiving weekend. I needed a haircut, and Hop’s Salon is right around the corner from Annie’s Parlour. I love that place–best campus shakes when I was in college. I’ve had many reunions there and that’s where my friend Erika and I celebrated finishing our last final exam of our college career. Yes, I celebrated with a butterscotch shake and fries. I’m so wild.
Framed

I discovered some empty poster frames and my photography mentor Carly helped me adjust the camera settings. Before long, we were both framed.

Today the sun shines through the crisp fall air, but soon the snow will fall.
