Well that didn't work as planned

So I accepted a "tasting room" position at Prairie Berry winery in Hill City SD, a few minutes from Mt Rushmore!


I had big dreams of having fun at work, then playing in the Black Hills on my days off. Unfortunately, that didn't happen as dreamed. I seldom poured wine or told the stories and more often bussed and washed dishes, cleaned the bathrooms and mopped the very large concrete floor.


I could go on and on but no need to repeat the negatives. Just know I lasted 90 days and finally hit the threshold of complete exhaustion. So I texted and received a response "yes"! My boss of the past two summers needs help for the rest of the summer in Flaming Gorge - I am "going home" to Utah for a few months, then off to Ohio area!


Love to all who are still following my adventures!

SueCanDo, named by a dear friend who departed this planet much too young, will strive to be a place for inspiration, clarity and enlightenment. My friend and I  had just reconnected and were having daily emails and weekly conversations that lasted long into the early mornings.

 

Still hundreds of miles away, I was looking forward to finally spending quality time with him after decades of missing his stories and hugs in person. A brief weekend in April, 2018, confirmed we were going to have many great adventures. Then he had an accident on one of his favorite motorcycles on one of his favorite roads after having just eaten his favorite hamburger at his favorite joint on 101 in northern CA. The shock has worn off, but I still miss what should have been.

 

So Mike, thanks to you and your "beady brain", here is SueCanDo, even without you the name lives on!

And, these are the Grand Adventures, after the Grand Purge, leading up to quality time with my Grand Babies!! This is a record for them to one day review and laugh with "Gammie"!
