The Mitchell Daily Republic tells us about this 98-year-old first-time author (Good for her!):
God has always had a strong presence in Lorraine Wise’s life. Now, God has a presence in her new 166-page book, “God is Real: Excerpts from my Spiritual Journey through 78 Years.”
Wise will hold a book signing from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday at the Reader’s Den, Mitchell, promoting the publication, which she wrote when she was 97. The book’s subtitle refers to the number of years since Wise’s spiritual awakening as a young woman.
Wise, who is now 98, said the idea for the book came to her about 15 years ago, during a reunion with two of her closest friends.
And we're always up for a good rodeo here in the Black Hills. We'll soon see if that allure is worldwide, as Amanda Fanger of the Onida Watchman explains:
Sutton Rodeos of Onida are set to participate in a world-changing event – the first ever rodeo in China.
Called Rodeo China, the event is one of historic proportions. This 8-day rodeo will take place at the National Stadium in Beijing, China. It is being organized by Less and Forever More, Inc., an organization started by Richard and Carrie Tucker.
Jill Callison of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader writes about the 40th anniversary of the Laura Ingalls Wilder pagent in DeSmet.
If Charles Ingalls had his way, his family's stay in De Smet would have been brief.
"Given his own way, it seems to me, Charles would have gone into the sunset forever," says Marian Cramer, referring to the wanderlust that took Ingalls and his family more than 1,500 miles in a covered wagon.
But Charles Ingalls had married a woman much less inclined to roam. Caroline Ingalls made him promise to take a railroad job that brought the couple and their four daughters to Silver Lake in Dakota Territory.
And she made him promise to stay.
I just came across your blog and thought it was pretty neat, and then was shocked to see that you'd quoted some of my writing on it :) Thanks for that and I'll try to keep up with your blog from now on!
