After we cleaned up the kitchen, we had various other items that we wanted to take to town. So we actually had a small load that we took in one of the cars. Kevin and the girls packed up their belongings as they would head back to Dickinson later in the evening.
When we eventually got to the new house, we set about bringing into the house, the new load of things we brought with us. We tried to unpack some of the boxes and further organize the rooms that had been started the previous day. Soon it was time to have a little lunch so we dug out the leftover pizza and ate it up along with some pop or milk.
The evening plan was to take Dad and Beverly out for supper to celebrate their anniversary which was actually the next day. After calling a few places in other small towns nearby that we knew had pretty good food, we found out that they weren't open on Sundays (imagine!) and we ended up driving to Williston. There were 3 places that had been selected from the phone book that we thought might be good. We drove two vehicles as Kevin and the girls would leave for home after we finished eating. Dad, Beverly, Cathy and I would go back to Tioga afterwards.
The first 2 selections ended up being closed! Sheesh! Hasn't the great state of ND heard of staying open on Sundays like the rest of the world? Alas, we headed to Applebee's. It always has great food. There was a 20 minute wait but it could have been an hour and I think we would have stayed! We were getting pretty hungry! We had a lovely meal and filled up so much that I was ready for a nap!
Then it was time for Kevin's family to get on the road back home so the girls could get some sleep before school the next day. Unfortunately Susan was unable to attend because of obligations for the church which required her presence all weekend. We were sorry she couldn't share our weekend with us! :(
Then we headed north to go back to Tioga. Cathy and I were still going to the farm for the night. The next day I would be leaving to go back to Omaha.
The day was ending on a very windy note and had been raining off and on most of the day. It felt like winter was in the air! Hopefully the next day wouldn't be as bad....hopefully.

Dad and Beverly look pretty serious about their food . . . we were hungrier than I realized!
