Hearing Is Over - Goodbye Sioux Falls

hello again........well the hearing was this afternoon in Canton, South Dakota. It is a lovely little town (and I mean little) about 20 minutes from Sioux Falls. The reason the hearing was held there is that the southern end of Sioux Falls is in Lincoln county and the county seat of Lincoln county is in.........you guessed it, Canton. Today was a big day in Canton, it was homecoming and they had a big(?) parade right down main street in front of the courthouse while we were in our hearing. We could hear the high school band playing and some sirens, etc.

Anyway, the hearing was not a win and not a lose. The judge ruled that nothing will be done today and that there will be a state appointed attorney advocate for Nicole. This attorney will investigate the situation in full and report back to the court his findings. Then, hopefully the judge will be able to find a way to insure that we can see Nicole in the future.

Soooo in the morning we are meeting our friends Lori and Dennis for breakfast and then it's on the road again. We don't know just yet where we will be going but we will figure it out before we leave! I would like to go into Pennsylvania and see the Amish country. I would love to see the culture and lifestyle of the Amish people. Then, the other destination is Cass West Virginia and then I guess we will head back west and back to our beautiful city. We are beginning to miss the smell of concrete! These wide open spaces are not our piece of cake. We have started eating a lot of steak though. It comes with the territory.

More later.......keep on keepin' on
Love
Wayne and Colleen
