Last Night's houseguest was returning to IA from a hunting trip in North Dakota. He camped in Medora and hunted west of there near Beach, about 10 miles from Montana. His quarry was sharp-tailed grouse. Medora is a tourist destination in the North Dakota Badlands by the Little Missouri River. It's in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. His stay brought back a memory.
Some years ago Joanne and I motored from Minneapolis to Medora for a wedding. It was summertime and hot. The wedding was held in the courtyard of the Cowboy Hall of Fame. That courtyard is surrounded by a solid fence about six feet high so thee wasn't a breath of wind. Guests were seated at picnic tables in the shade of umbrellas. The bride and groom, Kimberley and Daniel, and their attendants, were in full sun with the temperature in the 90's. As the presider I thought the best thing for me to do in this circumstance would be to keep it brief, and I did.
Takk for alt,
Al
