| Rollie, Barb and Jean at Oahe Dam near Pierre, SD |
This is a picture of one of the downtown stores in Pierre, SD which has sandbagged most of its downtown as a precaution in the event their levy doesn't hold until the Missouri River recedes into it's banks. The town has added wooden steps so that patrons are able to access the stores without having to climb over the sandbags. We went to the Oahe Dam which is a few miles outside of Pierre, to see how high the water was at the dam. We were there a couple years ago, and the spillways were closed -- Not now!
We visited in Iroquois for a bit over a week. In fact, we had to move into their basement as our AC unit was not working in all the heat and humidity. Barb and Rollie were gracious hosts, and we love visiting with them. We finally got the AC working on 7/25, and left on 7/26. Jean put a serious drain on Rollie's Diet Coke stash, and we loved Barb's fresh veggies and her desserts. Barb and Jean worked the evening meals together and Jean spoiled Barb's cats! Jack enjoyed "guy bonding" at the little grocery store/cafe every morning with Rollie. The store makes killer sticky buns on Tuesdays, so even I got out of bed to grab one before they were all gone!
