My husband and I moved from Idaho due to a job transfer in the fall of 1999 to a little town in South Dakota. We were new empty nesters and left our friends and family behind to live, to us, in a strange new world.

I wrote weekly letters and a detailed journal for the six years we were there. These letters and other writings provide the basis of my stories. We had many memorable experiences. The ones told here are just a few of them.
