Publisher's summary
My husband and I moved from Idaho due to a job transfer in the fall of 1999 to a little town in South Dakota.
We were new empty nesters and left our friends and family behind to live, to us, in a strange new world. Terry wanted to be as close to the land as he could get, so we bought a small house in the little prairie town of Viborg.
I wrote weekly letters and a detailed journal for the six years we were there. These letters and other writings provide the basis of my stories.
We had many memorable experiences. The ones told here are just a few of them.
The following poem was written a few months after we arrived to live in Viborg, South Dakota. We stayed six memorable years before we returned to Idaho to be able to watch six grandchildren grow.

But traveling with 25 dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment.

At 23, Andrew Forsthoefel headed out the back door of his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, with a backpack, an audio recorder, his copies of Whitman and Rilke, and a sign that read "Walking to Listen". He had just graduated from Middlebury College and was ready to begin his adult life, but he didn't know how.

When Richard “Frosty” Hesson was first approached by a young Jay Moriarty in 1990, the skinny kid with a sparkle in his eye only wanted one thing from the icon: His help in becoming a better surfer. Hesson, one of the first to conquer the huge waves off northern California known as Mavericks, recognized that the kid “had a vision.” Jay quickly demonstrated a resolve that reminded Frosty of his younger self, pursuing his goal with a seriousness far beyond his years. His attitude and work ethic earned Frosty’s respect and, eventually, his friendship.
