I&#39;m on the other side of the state -- in far northwest Iowa. So our view is more the cornfield variety. (Beautiful in its own way, especially this time of year.) <br /><br />We were back in your old stomping grounds last weekend. We rented a cabin south of Deadwood. Spent a lot of time in Nemo, fishing the trout streams. <br /><br />I enjoy your blog.Jennifer @ Getting Down With Jesushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15934656581948719407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527585698480885869.post-3198127381536797702009-09-28T08:22:55.954-05:002009-09-28T08:22:55.954-05:00Thanks Rose<br />Fall is my favorite time of year...When we travel to that part of MN I love just sitting and enjoying the landscape.

It&#39;s great that you and Joel were able to take a little trip together. I would LOVE to travel around that part of the US. Someday maybe...<br /><br />That&#39;s funny about that sign. Clever advertising!! <br /><br />I am also guilty of watching Strictly Come Dancing. In fact it started last week over here. I don&#39;t watch project runway, but I am guilty of watching America&#39;s Next Top Model every week day, he hee...<br /><br />Sound like your crash was worth it!!<br /><br />: )Treyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09637433110038921079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527585698480885869.post-90133090582467657512009-09-26T21:44:12.423-05:002009-09-26T21:44:12.423-05:00I read The Shack this past summer. It was a book that I couldn&#39;t put down and had to keep reminding myself that is was a work of fiction. It definately makes you sort stuff out in your own mind.

The title is a mash up of the film title Strictly Ballroom and an old TV series that ran for years called Come Dancing.<br /><br />It is horribly addictive and, for me, falls into the guilty pleasure category. i.e I am far too intellectual to watch such mainstream kitsch but will do if I&#39;m on my own. Ice dancing is the same. I lurve it but can&#39;t admit I do. <br /><br />I went to the US twice, both times to Minneapolis for work. I thought it was great. I loved the lakes and the wide open spaces. I didn&#39;t like the Mall of America though. I renamed it the Maw of America. <br /><br />Hope your crash is short lived.Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14378437798741434260noreply@blogger.com
