August 6, 2009


View of the day-Al has temporarily gone over the edge...testing out something green in Aberdeen, SD on a rainy day.

Even though we didn't have to be, we were up early to decide what to do on this rainy day...like there weren't plans in the works already.

Al worked on finding some place for his toys...the storage under the camper is getting mighty full, but he did manage to find enough space for what he had so far. O
nce he got that task done, he went over to chat up the neighbor and see how they were coming along...and how they would pass the next few rainy days away.

After checking to see if we had any mail, we grabbed a quick snack and headed out for Aberdeen for the day. It rained most of the way and a couple of hours after we got there, the rain caught up with us and it rained off and on for the rest of the day.

We went directly to pick up tickets for The Producers and it was a good thing we did
because when Marilyn got there, another woman came in behind her and between the two of them, they got the last 5 tickets for the show...it was sold out. They were in the back row of the balcony, but at least we had tickets.

Marilyn went with Al to some of the dealerships then continued on to the usual stores to shop and Al checked the rest of the dealers out, then he picked up some magazines to read out in the parking lot while he waited for Marilyn. Once we were done shopping we stopped at the Pizza Ranch for supper and then it was time to hit the theatre.

What a beautiful theatre they have in Aberdeen. They have been renovating as they raise money and it has really been spruced up since the last time we were there. Marilyn was quite envious of the beautiful facility, but put that all aside to see the great performance Aberdeen Community Theatre players put on...excellent sets and scene changes, beautiful voices...a real enjoyable evening.

We were able to be among the first out and after picking up a coffee for the road, we left to drive the 90 miles back to Gettysburg. The rain had let up for most of the way home, although we did see a lot of lightning to the SE of Gettysburg as we got home...hopefully our Kansas harvester friends are out of the line of fire of this one at Highmore.

Another late night and more rain in the forecast...
