Yes, you heard it here: North Dakota is still cold in April!
After yesterday's long drive, we were happy to have a shorter road to travel today. We set out from Oacoma, heading east and stopped a short while later in Mitchell, site of the famous "Corn Palace" (www.cornpalace.org). It is hard to describe this place, take a peak at the web site, the work that goes into the outside decorations each year is amazing (not to mention expensive!).
Driving east towards Sioux Falls and then north towards Fargo, North Dakota, we found the temperature dropping and the snow on the ground increasing! It was fascinating having just a few weeks ago dealt with temps in the upper 90s!
Having reached Fargo in good order, we had a yummy supper at "Mom's Diner" which had really, really great chicken-fried steak (s0 said Belinda) and the salmon was just what Charles was looking for. And of course, at a place called "Mom's," we had to havve some of the pie for desert!!!
We then went to the Maundy Thursday service at Fargo's First UMC (www.firstumcfargo.org). It was a lovely service which really helped to get us focused on the purpose of the days to come. It turns out that the pastor, Rev. Richard Zeck, had once served in the Nebraska Conference too and knew many of the same people we do there.
Tomorrow we'll continue east into Minnesota. Come back and see where we end up!!!

Winslow, AZ has its statue tribute to the Eagles' song. Does Fargo have a tribute to its namesake, famed detective on "The Electric Company," Fargo North, Decoder? :-) TGIF, y'all!
