I'm so glad we've had this time together

 After coming back from Deadwood and playing my infatuated tourist self, we had a date with Willie to enjoy one last fire by the Nemo General Store. She had the home fires burning when we got back to the ranch at dusk and it was a perfectly still night out to recap the past week's events and have some final moments of fellowship with this incredible woman. Willie's life is a colorful one filled with Vegas productions, marvelously successful children, marriage to a pretty decent man and for the last seven years hostess at the Nemo Guest Ranch. I know I have a new friend in South Dakota and I am certain Willie feels the same way about me because she told me that she really enjoyed having me at the ranch and that I am welcome back any time.

There are other nice folks at the ranch.
David and Sylvia from Arkansas.

Monique and Daniel from Las Vegas.

Monique's dog, maniac, but I called him Toto.

Sharon and Bob, residents of Nemo whom helped out at the store.

Sharon worked in the store with Sylvia and Wille.

Bob ran the outside side bar at the store.

We spent time every day with Jimmy and his son Keith. you may recall from an earlier post that Jimmy had the coffee perculator!

There are a few others I will introduce you to in a another post, but for the most part this was my extended family for the last two weeks. Along with the family that ran the restaurant, I got to know these people as well as you could expect to in two weeks.
I would like to think I will make it back to the ranch and enjoy the 75th Annual Sturgis Rally, but that is two years away and I can only plan a week at a time!
