Mini GTG in South Dakota

Nan and I spent our last evening together visiting with Pat in SE South Dakota. No pictures of the food was taken because Nan and I felt that it would just be too mean to show everyone what they missed. You know the food is good when Sprinter has stopped by twice already in previous trips.

We both got hooked up to some electric and the temps even cooled down enough for us to sit out on the back patio later in the evening and watch the bees bustle around Pat's beautiful flowers.

We met the sweet Miss Radar.

And since there was no one to take our picture.... and I was never as talented as Liz about setting the timer on my camera, you get two pictures of Pat! :)

Now about that recent rumor regarding potential axe murders parked in Pat's driveway. :o Sheila's daughter Merry promised that if we gave her enough hush money she would never tell. 8-) Then again, after that brunch (where Nan and I thought we had been cleared of all suspicions) Sheila always met us in either a public place or had her mother along for protection...... :roll: :)

....And that wonderful pulled pork and potato salad and grape salad from Thursday evening? It tasted even better this afternoon from the "to travel" containers Pat fixed for me this morning.

Thank you again, Pat, for answering those messages and inviting us to drive on over. It is so wonderful to put another face with posts...even better for hearing the voice and laughter that goes with the words.

Pat looks like a wonderful lady (just look at that smile) and sounds like a terrific cook! I think my plans could eventually include SE South Dakota. ;)

Looks like a great couple of days. How lucky for all of you that you connected!

Thanks so much for the kind words! But I'm not too sure about the "sweet" Miss Radar....she loves hooman company but isn't the most hospitable critter when it comes to other furbabies...except to her neighbor Max.

The driveway and 30 amp is always open for anyone who wants to come and visit. :)

I look forward to attempting to make the pulled pork and the grape salad. It is delicious!! Guess now my menu, will be pulled pork, grape salad and slaw. Makes my tummy hungry.

Thanks for the great time Pat enjoyed the visit with you.

I think I'll be too far south on my trip east this time, but you are definitively in my radar next time in SD.

How wonderful to meet Pat, other than her avatar thing! It looks as if you all had a wonderful meeting! I love that there are so many of us all around the country these days----makes traveling seem less of a scary venture and more like 'going visiting' with friends! I am beginning to really get anxious to pack and stow and hitch to make my way south for the winter again, and really looking forward to that FL GTG in January.

Thanks for the great pics!
