Joan visited with Steph this morning... on her new iPhone. And then downloaded a bunch of apps... I think she's accepting this new technology.
Joan gave me a haircut this morning; she had to use scissors and clippers, no app for that. ;-) After that, we were off on a motorcycle ride through the Hills. Perfect weather: temp in the 70s (I know, because Joan has a thermometer app), crisp sunny skies. We rode back roads to Keystone (near Mt. Rushmore), and had lunch... with a table on the boardwalk. The crowds were light (as you'd expect right now), but steady. Lots of motorcyclists out taking advantage of the weather. No trip to Keystone is complete without a stop at The Taffy Shop.
From there, it was up the mountain, past Mt. Rushmore...
The camera in the Droid is plenty adequate for this kind of "we were here" image. Then, cruising on back roads... the kind of roads that have names, but not numbers. Easy to see why the Black Hills is always in the Top 10 for Best Motorcycle Roads.
A stop for ice cream ("Live to Ride, Ride to Eat"), then home in time for Izzy's supper and hammock time for Joan. She fired up the new portable speaker via bluetooth - yeah, she is totally into the technology.
Little Izzy enjoyed some grass time while we lounged outside...
This is the start of that "another summer" we'd get when we left the Tetons. Feels like vacation!
