She's a member of the church that we're staying at. So far she's made us hot breakfasts on two separate occasions; and went out of her way to make our teammate Sam feel comfortable recently when he broke his ankle. She always keeps our toilet paper and paper towels stocked; and even let us borrow her electric skillet. Good 'ole Lucille. Does it get any better than that? Oh yes it does. This weekend Lucille had us over to her farm for a family dinner. She invited us into the living room where we had an appetizer of homemade artichoke dip. There was casual conversation and an orange juice and spritzer mix. Then we made our way to the dining area where we shared a lovely meal of turkey, cranberry sauce, yams, salad, assorted jellies, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and apple pie.
Delightful! We even played a party game. It was a quite nice to enjoy a meal/ activity together for 3.25 hours without bickering or wanting to run away from each other. And now I can honestly say that if there's something North Dakota has going for it, it's most definitely hospitality to strangers.
