Tuesday - August 11

 Hot and sunny today - 97.     I did zoom session - funeral mass for my cousin's husband at Holy Cross in Mendota, IL - the video was good but not so much the audio and some of the other zoom participants did not mute their volume, so.....

Afterwards we took off for Garryowen and checked out this "itty bitty" area of a Conoco gas station, general store and post office.    We're thinking the owners live upstairs (population of 2) and run these businesses???    

Off to the Bighorn Battlefield - got a map of the area and 1st stop was the huge Custer National Cemetery.  We parked and walked around the cemetery (they had every other parking space not in use with a cone).   Not seen that before and when we left, many more people came and parking would be a problem?    The visitor center was closed.    As we drove the battlefield route, I read the various markers/landmarks to Mark.

From there we drove to Hardin (18 miles away) - the closest "big" town of 4,000+.    Not too much here but had lunch at DQ (carryout and ate in Big Red) and on back to Flo.

Read and took a nap this afternoon.    Did zoom with Claire and Kathy, supper and then a walk up the hill.
