The Summer of Plays
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2018 11:36 am
As the kids are getting older, we are looking for things to do as they exit stage right that don't involve going to the Indian Casinos.
Went to a local production of "And Mice and Men." I was unfamiliar with the story except for the very ending-so except for George being hard to hear it was good.
On our 27th Anniversary (June 29th) went to a romantic comedy (String)at a summer stock theater. Very enjoyable-we had last been there in about 1995 for "Dracula." They have a Sinatra retrospective later this summer that looks interetsing.
The University of Minnesota Morris is about 15 miles away and they put on some plays-again we have last been there pre-kid in the mid 1990's.
Sunday-me and the 2 oldest visited 1862 Sioux War sites. I have been inactive at "The Smoke of the Sioux"-I am in no hurry as I want to visit as many sites as possible before I write about them, but visiting Birch Coulee battlefield was everything I had hoped it to be in highlighting terrain in the war. You can not understand what I saw just from maps.
It was very subtle, but probably more instructive than the Little Bighorn because of that subtleness. At Little Bighorn, the terrain is overwhelming and right in your face.
This coming weekend as we take the Spocklette to Rapid City we are going the long way around and will see Little Bighorn, Killdeer Battlefield and the Fetterman Massacre site-plus a couple of other things )maybe.
We saw Devil's Tower last year.
Our favorite family restaurant is in Belfield, North Dakota about 400 miles from here and we will be able to stop there on the way.
