We love the Corn Palace

September 3 – Kinda leisurely day!  We needed that!  We left the RV at mid- morning and went to the AT&T store as my phone was acting up and I was not getting my emails.  It looked like it was an attempt at hacking.  I waited only a few minutes and a young guy got into my phone and then my laptop and did his thing.  He got me back on track with a change of password so I was good to go and didn’t cost me anything but time!

Then we headed to the Corn Palace.  That’s the main attraction here and the exterior is changed every year.  It is amazing.  It’s actually a combination gymnasium and auditorium.  They host games and plays and this place has been around since 1892 but they rebuilt the palace in 1921.  Google it!  They have photos of almost every year and you can learn how many colors of corn are used.  Too bad they don’t have a tower to go up and get really good photos.  They now have gift shops and restaurants across the road at the front so you can’t get back enough for a good full photo!

Once we finished our visit there we to lunch at The Depot.  It was actually a train depot that had been converted into a nice restaurant with 3 dining rooms and the railroad is still running along the back side of the building.  I normally get a salad but today I splurged and had a chicken wrap that was delicious.  Bill had his burger as usual!

From there we went back across town to a hardware store for Bill to get a part for the hose stuff to the RV and we went in Walmart and tootled around.  I did get some bargains though for the kids for Christmas!  Then we went thru the drive thru at Culver’s!  YUMMY!  First we’ve had since we left home in early May.  It really hit the spot!

Back at the campground I did a load of laundry and Bill washed the buggy windshield.  We watched 2 RV’s part that both were single women.  The first was is a 40’ motorhome.  Later we chatted with her and her husband died and she still goes by herself.  We will probably see her in Forest City, IA as she has a Winnebago and is going to see if they can work her in.  Then she is heading to Florida for the winter.  We hope to catch up with her at Winnebago.  Very nice lady!

I cleaned out some leftovers for dinner and the fridge is till full!  We will work on some more tomorrow.  That wraps up another day in the lives of Kelly and Bill!
