TRAVELS WITH DONNIE
If you could enlarge this poor cell-phone snap, you'd see the Yankton skyline(!) atop the bluff above the Missouri River at the rear of this shot.

This was the view from my dining table at a fish shop across the river in Nebraska. Photo of Tom Brokaw on wall, thanking owner for a fine evening.
Almost stopped for the night at Freeman Country Inn, but it smelled funny. Instead, in Yankton I pay twice as much, but at least this motel is brand new.
Though it was bitter cold this morning, I reached Marion area by mid-afternoon and played the 9-hole course between Marion and Parker--the Par-Mar Club. I did not go into Marion.

DONNIE LAMENTS
"32 degrees in Chamberlain, South Dakota this morning...MIDDLE OF MAY....and I came here to golf!!!"
DONNIE IS, SAFELY, IN SOUTH DAKOTA THIS MORNING
"Reached Chamberlain by 1:30 (Thursday afternoon). Cold all the way. Mid 40's and a painful north wind. I got out of the car only briefly.
By mid-Dakota the sky had cleared but the temp never reached 60.
I visited the South Dakota Hall of Fame and an excellent Indian Museum at St. Joseph Indian School.
The Lewis and Clark "Interpretive Center" doesn't open, for the season until Saturday.
Early evening, I was the only diner in the only café on Main Street but I got a delicious Steak.
Both Mitchell and Chamberlain look far more "developed" and busy than I remember them ever being. Several new and nice lodges on the river in Chamberlain.
I came over here to find an "exotic" golf course above Pierre, but it will be too cold to play. All I can do tomorrow is drive up there, take a look, then turn around and head south for home."

THE COUSINS WENT OUT TO EAT LAST NIGHT
I keep hoping that some year they'll behave while they're out in public but I don't think that will ever happen.
Carl was shoveling it in even before Roger finished saying the prayer.
Donnie was eating with both hands....
While Dorothy bowed her head in shame and pretended she was with another party.

GRAND STAY....GREAT FOOD!
Donnie is staying at the Grand Stay while he's in La Crosse this time. Their rooms are, actually, mini-suites with bedroom, living/office area and a small kitchen. I was really impressed with the accommodations.
Last night he was making himself right at home.

He wrote, "I'm heating Manhattan Clam Chowder I found at Fiesta. Very hard to find Manhattan Clam Chowder. The red stuff as opposed to the common white creamy New England Clam chowder).
Finding the Chowder and Entermanns doughnuts, this visit has been a real grocery bonanza.
We paid a visit to Uncle Bob yesterday afternoon. It's been a while since I've seen him so I was glad to get over there. He was looking really good and in very good spirits.

WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME WITH RITA AND ROGER LAST NIGHT!
We went up to the house so Donnie could see the new floor they put in and the other improvements.
Then over to Cedar Creek for dinner. Great meal and good company.
When we got back to La Crosse we stopped off at Riverside Park where Donnie sat and contemplated the sunset!

A WORD FROM DONNIE
A favorite Frank Lloyd Wright remark is on display down there in Spring Green:
"Early in my life I faced a choice, to be honestly arrogant or hypocritically humble. I chose the first, and have never regretted my decision."
NOTE: According to BLOGGER, this post is post # 11,111 since I started publishing this blog.
