oh what a long, strange, exhausting week it's been

Yup, it's been a while since a post.  Nothing much to post about 'cause it's been so flipping hot and humid - like you can't catch your breath if you are outside - gross, gross gross humid.  With that said we haven't left the house much to do anything other than take Sir for short walks ~ he can't even stand to be outside.

Other than that the only "things" up this week were a "cardio light stress test" and an ultra sound for me - chest pains again (aka elephants on my chest) all tests came back "normal", so I guess that makes me "normal" .... huh!!!

We will be leaving our beloved Sioux Falls in the morning.  Last night we had dinner with our dear friends Rick and Jaye, their daughter Allie came out later to join us.  We sure will miss them.

Doesn't King Richard look so very serious in these photos!

The big event around the Fairgrounds this week was the Junior Nationals of the American-International Charolais Association.  Like I said it was so damned hot around here we didn't go out much so I never got pictures of the cuties other than this one photo I took as I was heading out to do some shopping this morning - at that point these were the only two left on the entire fairgrounds!  They are such a cute/handsome breed.

It cooled off a bit an hour or so ago so Sir and I went out for a bit of "exercise" and lo and behold there was a rainbow!  As we walked further towards the corral where Sir plays, it turned into a double rainbow.  Can't remember the last time I saw a double!

After corral play we went into one of the open barn type exhibition areas where Sir sometimes gets to romp around if no one is around to whom he might be a threat.  Well it was very very windy (tornado warnings abound yet again).

And yup, he spots yet another gopher/ground hog/prairie dog hole.  Apparently there was a fresh scent at this one - so dig dig dig.

Then he sticks his head in ... Rick and I get to chuckling about this part of the "hunt" 'cause we just know there must be a gopher there looking at him that he isn't aware of! 

So tomorrow we will head to the campground at Cedar Shore Resort in Chamberlain, SD that Rick and Jaye told us about.  It seems quite nice along the Missouri River.  It would be terrific if there is a spot where Sir can get into the water for some water play.  After a few days there we will likely head to a campground in Sturgis.  We've never been to either of these two places so it may really feel like we are back on the road again - although we've certainly been to and through South Dakota a few times.  We had originally thought we'd go to Spearfish for a few nights after Chamberlain, but Sturgis seems the most likely at this point - then again we have been known to change our plans once in a while!  

At the moment we have lightning circling close by so I will do a spell check and quick proof read and get this published and head to bed!
