south dakota
the weekend after we got back from ireland, i took a couple extra days off & headed out to south dakota. i do love south dakota. i love the drive; i love how fast it goes. seriously, 13 hours in a car goes so much faster than 8 hours at work. and that doesn't say anything about my job ... it just says that i really like driving. and the fact that a blizzard was slated to hit rapid city as i was arriving? well, all the more reason to drive with purpose. :)
it took me about 13.5 hours to get to rapid city on friday. i was there in time to freshen up & head to the opening of a photography exhibit, in which my friend lynn has a photo hanging. it started snowing about half an hour before i got to lynn's, but it was warm enough that it was melting as it hit the ground.
saturday morning it was a little more snowy. we were out of the house early, headed to her office to shoot photos of the bird who has nested outside her boss' window. unfortunately, my photos of the bird didn't turn out. but we drove around town a bit while i shot photos.
by the time we were headed back to lynn's, we agreed we probably shouldn't be on the roads anymore. it was pretty hard to see. so strip club was canceled, which put a little damper on the day ... but lynn's friend judi came over & joined us for mimosas and breakfast. the rest of the day was spent watching movies & what not. a good day for being snowed in.
sunday we headed out to the dog park to take photos. what can i say? they have a pretty dog park. :) we tried going to the quilt shop, but they were still closed because of the weather. i think it was today that we decided we should vacation in patagonia.
the roads in town were clear enough i could have driven home on monday, as planned. but it would have put me driving directly into the storm that had just dropped 13" on rapid city. why would i do that? so i hung around on monday - successfully visiting the quilt shop & spending some time reading - and drove home on tuesday. the roads were clean & dry. 14 hours later, i was back home.

'becca is aware that she should probably explain that strip club is a monthly get together at the quilt shop where they showcase a quilt made with strips of fabric.
