ou’ve likely heard the old saying, “Good things come to those who wait.”

Well, that’s certainly the case when it comes to Kanaranzi Creek, a unique “occasional” store located in Ellsworth, Minnesota.

If you are wondering where that is, Ellsworth is about 40 miles from Sioux Falls, 14 miles from Rock Rapids, IA, 30 miles from Worthington, MN, and 55 miles from Okoboji, IA. The store is only open on select days in March, May, July, September and November, but it’s worth marking the calendar and planning a trip when it’s sale time.

While Kanaranzi Creek is only beginning its fourth year of business, the store has been in the making for about 30 years.

“We have been talking about this since we were young mothers,” says Betty Sherwood, talking about herself and her co-owner (and sister-in-law) Barb Reiter. “We always talked about how fun it would be to have a store of our own.”

But, they were busy farm wives raising families, and there just never seemed to be enough time or finances to make it work.

Fast forward to Christmas 2011.

“My brother, Larry, came to a family gathering and announced he

had purchased an old building in Ellsworth,” explains Reiter. “He told us he bought it, but he wasn’t even sure what he was going to do with it. Betty and I just looked at each other, and it was like, ‘Are you thinking what I’m thinking?’”

The building dates back to 1891 and served as a main street hardware store. Keeping the original character was important to both women. Their store still features the original hard wood floors, 14-foot tin ceilings and some of the original counters and shelves.

“Once we decided we were going to go for it, everyone just rolled up their sleeves to help us get ready,” says Sherwood. “We started gathering items for the store, cleaning out our attics and garages, and going to auctions and rummage sales.”

Kanaranzi is the name of an actual creek that runs through land on which Jim and Betty Sherwood and John and Barb Reiter live.

Both couples live on family farms. They’ve dealt with the creek for

two generations – from drought to flooding.

Betty adds that she and Barb were told that Kanaranzi comes from an Indian word meaning “crazy woman.”

“We thought to ourselves, that’s perfect!”

Very little of what you see in the store would be considered “as is.” The two enjoy repurposing, repainting and recycling – giving old items new life. The concept for the store really came out of their lives, they say. As farm wives, resources were often limited, so they had to make do with what they had…to make something out of nothing.

Both Betty and Barb have sons that enjoy carpentry work, so the store features their handiwork made from materials like old barn wood and wood pallets.

The two also have some friends who enjoy painting and “upcycling” furniture and other décor, so they consign items with Betty and Barb and Kanaranzi Creek.

There is no Comparison.

“We know that everyone has different tastes,” says Reiter.

“Some may like country, others like antique. Many people like to find something whimsical to add to their home décor. So, we try to include a little bit of everything.”

Occasionally, they may get a call from a customer wondering if the pair can find a specific item like a barn door, but most of the time, Sherwood and Reiter say, people just enjoy coming in to see what surprises they can find at the store.

Most of the items have a story behind them, such as where they came from, who once owned them or what the original use was.

Many of the customers have a story, too.

Betty says she’ll always remember something that just happened with a customer during their March sale. A gentleman from out of town who travels for his work came through Ellsworth, saying he enjoys taking the back roads and visiting small towns. He saw people around Kanaranzi Creek and noticed some of the items that were sitting outside (Betty says they often have things outside to let people know it’s sale time).

He came inside and wanted to know more about the store and its history. He made a purchase, and then explained he wanted to pay something forward.

“The man said, ‘I used to be the most selfish person in the world,’” Betty recalls. “He said, ‘I have now found how rewarding it is to give and to share.’”

With that, the man left some money, asking the women to find some way to share it, and also emphasizing he wanted to remain anonymous. The pair knew of a family who had been in the store before and were going through some challenges, so they picked some things out for that family using their generous donor’s gift.

“This is what we love about our community and our business,” says Sherwood.

Knowing they didn’t want the everyday responsibilities of a Monday through Saturday retail store, the two knew the “occasional store” approach was right for them. They have time to search for new items and to add their unique touches to them.

They completely “flip” the store before each sale.

“We always have to be thinking a season ahead,” says Sherwood. “In September, we’re thinking about where to put the Christmas trees.

Their May sale, coming up on May 21, 22 and 23, will feature everything from Memorial Day to the 4th of July.

Customers are intrigued when they come in and can hardly believe it’s the same place they visited before, because the entire floor plan is different.

“They always ask us, ‘What will you girls come up with next?’” laughs Sherwood. “And the truth is, sometimes we don’t even know!”

The store always announces sale dates through flyers and on Facebook. They also keep a “massive” email list to make sure their customers have plenty of notice. Mark your calendar and plan a trip to Kanaranzi Creek!

Stomping Out Stigma

T

he South Dakota chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is fighting tirelessly to eliminate stigma related to mental illness.

“NAMI South Dakota and its nine community affiliates are dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by mental illness through education, advocacy and support,” says Wendy Giebink, Executive Director of the nonprofit organization. “1 in 4 adults will be affected by mental illness in a given year.

Our goal is to make it acceptable for people to seek treatment, which is very effective.”

NAMI supporters will take steps May 16th to raise money and awareness for their cause with a fundraising walk at Sertoma Park in Sioux Falls.

Registration for the 5K walk will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the walk will begin at 9:30 a.m.

This year marks the 12th anniversary of the NAMIWalks event in South Dakota. The theme will be “Stomping Out Stigma.”

Walk teams are being formed now at www.namiwalks.org/ southdakota. Individual walkers can register there, also, and people can donate to the walk online even if they cannot participate in the walk.

The goal is to raise $65,000 for education and support programs for the more than 150,000 South Dakotans who are affected by mental illness.

Organizers are hoping for 50 teams and more than 500 walkers this year.

To register online to walk or create a team, go to: www. namiwalks.org/SouthDakota. For more information about NAMI or the walk, contact walk manager John Williams at namiwalksouthdakota@gmail.com or 605-271-1871, or Wendy Giebink at namisd@midconetwork.com.

L

iving in an established central Sioux Falls neighborhood, Todd and Terri Schuver haven’t seen too much change in the area around the house they bought 21 years ago.

Only three other families have lived in the home, which was built in 1947. The décor was a little dated, says Terri, but they didn’t make any immediate plans for renovations.

Then, one night about 20 years ago, while sitting in the kitchen, Terri and Todd were looking at a partial wall with spindles, and she commented that she really wasn’t that fond of them.

at home

“Todd said, ‘I can take care of that,’” recalls Terri, “and he came back with a saw and cut the spindles out. By the end of the weekend, he had gutted the kitchen.”

With the exception of adding some new cabinetry, Todd did the kitchen remodel himself. The Schuvers replaced the cabinetry, added a trayed ceiling, installed stainless appliances and hung commercial-looking stainless shelves on either side of the cooktop.

A few years later, they expanded their house to the south side, adding on a new master suite, with a bedroom that has

a door to the outside, a large bath with his-and-her sinks and walk-in closet.

Not long after that came the inspiration for what would become the next chapter in Terri’s career. While in Colorado, she and a friend she saw some unique metal sculptures, and they thought, “Our husbands could help us do that.”

So, the two entered the Sioux Falls Sidewalk Arts Festival with the first of their creations…and Prairie Dance Metal Art was born. The pieces became known for their hand-finished, rusted patina.

Terri had a retail focus while in college, so Prairie Dance Metal Art became the foundation of items offered at Sticks and Steel, her store located at 8th & Railroad Center.

With young children and a growing business, Terri was looking for a functional office space in her home. The Schuvers added two bookcases in the living room to create a separate space for a home office where both could work as necessary.

The Robin’s Nest

About ten years ago, says Terri, she and her husband decided to start collecting original art. They particularly enjoy finding pieces from local artists. While doing some remodeling in the living room, one blank wall kept nagging at Terri a bit. “I just couldn’t decide what piece of furniture to put there,” she says.

“We had some different art pieces, and I had just leaned them all up against the wall while we decided what to put there. And

then I thought, why not put the art there?”

So, rather than using the wall for a sofa or other furniture, they hung a collection of paintings, pottery and sculpture, creating a wonderful mini-gallery there in the living room.

“It would be fun to say it was all part of a great design plan,” laughs Terri, “but really, it just happened.”

colorful cushions.

“We eat most of our meals there,” says Terri.

The house had previously ended at the kitchen, except for a screened-in porch, which was one of the features that sold the Schuvers on the house 21 years ago.

“We loved that porch so much that building a bigger porch led us to a rather extensive addition.”

So, just over two years ago, they added on towards the back of the house, opening up the kitchen wall to create a family room and an expanded screened-in porch. The family room now has one of the most popular features of the house – an in-wall, wood burning oven.

“We went to a cooking class in California hosted by the manufacturer of our oven and learned we can do everything in this oven that you can do in a regular oven.”

The Schuvers use the oven for roasting everything from vegetables to whole chickens and, of course, for making pizza.

Hanging on a wall of the kitchen nook is a canvas print of a pizza cooking in a wood oven.

“That’s actually a picture of the second pizza cooked in the oven,” explains Terri. “A friend of ours took the picture.

Everybody asks why it’s the second pizza. The reason it’s the second pizza is that while the first pizza turned out, but the picture of it didn’t!”

Todd created the unique light fixtures in the family room and over the nook, chandeliers made with bare bulbs hanging from cords. Terri laughs as she recalls how they had papers spread all over drawing out different configurations of the bulbs.

One of the handcrafted lines carried at Terri’s gallery is Sticks Objects de Art, a company out of Des Moines, Iowa. The store carries quite a few of their pieces, and she had always wanted one for their house. A whimsical buffet became the television stand for the family room. Leaving a drawer out was the only modification needed to fit the DVR. As the weather allows, they can also catch their favorite shows out in the screened-in porch. A flat screen is mounted over the gas fireplace and hangs there most of the year, with the

exception of the coldest winter months. The warmth from the fireplace enables the family to use the space from the Final Four in March to the World Series in October.

In the corner of the porch is an “upcycled” dresser redone with decorative tiles on the top, varying colors of paint on the drawer fronts and a collection of different knobs used as drawer pulls. It’s the perfect spot for storing can cozies, summer flipflops and garden shoes.

In the backyard stand three metal characters. “Those are the originals,” says Terri, referring to the first of the Prairie Dance

Metal art creations. “They were actually fashioned after some cave drawing found in the Black Hills. We used those figures as our first logo.”

Other house projects may come along, but for now, the family is just enjoying their space and getting ready to get back outside to the yard and to summer evenings on the screened-in porch. Being empty nesters isn’t too far off, with their sons at 20 and 17, but Terri says they don’t have any plans that would take them out of their friendly neighborhood.

“We’re here for the duration.”

Waiter, There’s a Complaint in My Soup

By Jim Mathis

I

would like to issue a complaint. I’m not happy with the way people are handling complaints these days. I’m upset with Yelp, Facebook, Google+ and Urbanspoon. But what really gets under my skin are the “reviewers” who complain while hiding behind a screen, or worse yet, an anonymous user name.

Now to be fair, most online reviews for Sioux Falls restaurants are positive. Sometimes they are so good that I question how they can be true. I’ve also seen 2 out of 5 stars followed by “but I’ll definitely come back!” If it’s only worth 2 stars, why would you go back? And I saw post about one of Sioux Falls’ fine dining establishments that started with the words “I haven’t eaten here yet...” What? If you haven’t eaten at a restaurant, why are you writing a review?

As I see it, the biggest problem with reviews is too often customers use them just to complain online. Restaurants aren’t given a chance to learn from mistakes or fix the problems if the only thing an unhappy customer does is pull out their smartphone and go straight to Yelp. If you have a problem with a meal, put down the

32 nest | Man in the kitchen

phone and tell the server what’s wrong. If they don’t fix the issue, talk to the manager. But if the server asks how your meal is and you reply “Everything’s great!” don’t expect anything to change. They have given you a chance to provide feedback, and you declined.

What’s the right way to complain about a restaurant meal? Offer constructive criticism live and in person, while you’re still there.

“This sucks” is not constructive; “My steak is well-done and I asked for medium-rare,” or “the soup is cold,” offers the restaurant a chance to make it right. If the manager stops by the table during your meal, let them know how they could make your night better.

If you feel a draft, let them know. If the server was inattentive, they deserve to hear that from you. Anything that you would say on Facebook, Yelp or Google+, you should be willing say to the manager. Let them hear it straight from your mouth. They may offer to replace your meal, take some cost off your check or offer free dessert. A good manager will want to make things right. But your chance to fix the meal ends when you walk out the door. After that,

the options for the restaurant are very limited.

Yes, it’s less confrontational to suffer in silence and complain online, but that does nothing for you or the restaurant. You still feel like you’ve suffered; now the business has to suffer as well. No one wins. If you bring the problem to their attention and they still ignore it, now you have every justification to complain online to your friends and anyone else who sees your review.

One more thing, before you complain, make sure your expectations of the restaurant are realistic. If you’re at a drivethru taco stand, don’t expect 5-Star service. If you’ve ordered a 14-course tasting menu, don’t expect to be done with your meal in 30 minutes. Here’s an example: CH Patisserie received a 2-star review on Yelp from someone who complained it was expensive.

The sign on the front of the building says “A Sweet Luxury.” The word luxury realistically indicates the product and experience are going to be a decadent treat. Luxury doesn’t indicate cheap.

Nothing in those cases full of luxurious handmade sweets created

by Chef Chris Hanmer looks cheap. In this instant, size does matter.

Creating those small bits of goodness can’t be quick or easy. The prices fair when you consider the amount of time put into making those desserts. Most of the reviews for CH Patisserie are glowing, but were those one reviewer’s expectations about the price truly realistic? I don’t think so.

With the immediacy and reach of the Internet, every person has the ability to be a critic. That doesn’t mean we should turn reviews

into a platform just to bully and vent. When you post a review, identify yourself, make sure you have reasonable expectations and be honest and objective with your criticism. And, most importantly, if you do have an unpleasant experience at a restaurant, or any business for that matter, make your complaint at the moment the situation arises and make it to someone who has the ability to correct it immediately. I’m sure I’ll get some flak from people who post and read online reviews religiously, but if you have a complaint, please just tell me to my face.

Do yourself a favor, eat something good today.

When it comes to enjoying your favorite fermented beverage, there is no question that the art and science of Riedel stemware makes the winedrinking experience that much better. Need proof? Try the following “experiment” to astonish your senses.

Items you will need: •R iedel Burgundy stemware (the Vinum line is a nice one to start with.)

•A “Joker” glass (any inexpensive wine glass with a rolled lip.)

•A good bottle of Russian River Pinot Noir (Two wineries I would recommend are J and MacMurray Ranch.)

Arrange the two glasses in front of you, Riedel glass on the

right and Joker glass on the left. Pour about 4 oz. of your Pinot Noir in the Riedel glass first. Swirl vigorously. Now get your nose in there and smell; really smell. Pick out the nice cherry aromas and perhaps a hint of chocolate or licorice. According to Georg Reidel (10th generation glassmaker) in order to properly smell a wine, your nose needs to be inside the glass so far that your upper lip rests on the rim of the glass. And if you’ve ever been to a glass tasting with Georg Reidel, you better do what he says!

Now, comes the fun part: Pour the contents of your Riedel glass into the Joker glass. I’ve been to tastings where the same wine is poured into two different glasses, and the two are compared. Doing it this way is much more mesmerizing.

You see, when you physically pour the Pinot Noir that’s in your Riedel glass, your brain is processing the fact that it’s the same exact wine in both glasses. Now, just smell your Pinot Noir in the Joker glass. Smell anything different? Smell anything at all?

Smell your empty Riedel glass, just for fun. Smell anything now?

I won’t ruin the experience for you by describing the outcome in detail, but I think you get the idea. Remember to transfer your wine back to your Riedel glass and finish enjoying your wine the way it was meant to be. Anybody can tell you that this glass is better than that glass, but nothing replaces your own experience doing this fun exercise.

So this year for Mother’s Day, enhance your mom’s wine with a set of Riedel glasses and give her the gift that keeps on giving, or in some cases, the gift that keeps getting used nightly. Carpe Riedel and Carpe Vino!

hey probably are not something you think about too often.

They get wool socks and boots in the winter and pedicures and sandals as the weather turns warmer. But taking proper care of your feet should move up higher on your priority list.

“Your feet directly affect the rest of your body,” says Jason Anderson, DPM, a podiatrist at Sanford Health. “Pain in your hips, knees or back could be stemming from poor foot mechanics.”

And while the structure of the foot is the same for men and women, women tend to develop different problems.

“Women tend to be more prone to stress fractures,” says Dr. Anderson. “This can be the result of calcium deficiencies and osteoporosis, hormone changes, and wearing shoes that just aren’t as supportive.”

HEalth & Well-being

Those unsupportive shoes can include your favorite pair of high heels. They can have a negative impact on your feet if you wear the wrong pair too long.

“Over time, high heels can have a negative impact on

your feet,” says Dr. Anderson. “This can lead to additional problems in your feet such as tendonitis or plantar fasciitis.

The inflammation of tendons and ligaments often present as pain in the bottom of your heel when you first step down in the morning or during exercise.”

High heels can still be a footwear option, just use common sense if you start experiencing foot pain. Select ones that have a short, sturdy heel and fit your foot properly. Also try to rotate between heels and flats throughout the week to give your feet a break.

Working Out Heels aren’t the only shoes you need to worry about. Illfitting or worn-out tennis shoes can cause problems for your feet while you exercise.

“If your shoes have lost their structural integrity or are not fitted correctly, they will not provide you with the support your feet require during high-impact activities,” says Dr. Anderson. “This can be a common source of sudden onset pain and subsequent injury. And if you do start experiencing

Quick Tips to Combat Pain Simple calf stretch • Stand on a step with your heels off the edge. Lower and raise your legs.

High heels can still be a footwear option, just use common sense if you start experiencing foot pain.

pain, it is never a good idea to try and run through it.”

To combat soreness and prevent injury, Dr. Anderson suggests taking it slow as you start exercising. Make sure you stretch, do a proper warm-up before exercising and don’t exceed your limits.

“Don’t think you can get in shape in one day,” says Dr. Anderson. “Take it slow and only increase your run about 10 percent, at most, in a week. You can also mix up your workout

with some low-impact cross training elements like swimming or biking. That will give you the cardio you are seeking, without having the constant stress and strain on your feet.”

If you are feeling soreness after a run, try switching up your routine. If you are running on the road, try to find the most even surface. Sometimes the side of the road is cracked and bumpy.

Repeatedly stepping on this type of terrain can cause ankle soreness and pain. If you are running on a track, switch it up and alternate directions to prevent wear on one side of the body.

Getting Help Dr. Anderson and the team of experts at Sanford Orthopedics and Sports Medicine offer a number of services such as biomechanical exams and state-of-the-art gait analysis to help identify the source of your pain. With their help, you can get back on your feet faster.

Chicago’s Neighborhoods

T

here are several neighborhoods in Chicago, each with its own flavor and vibe. Andersonville is a homey, north side neighborhood with Swedish roots. The local shops, original eateries, and home furnishings stores attract visitors from around the world.

The neighborhood even holds an annual awards ceremony for the best businesses, called The Andersonville Honors Gala. Some notable places to eat and shop in Andersonville are The Coffee Studio, where you can enjoy sophisticated coffee and local art in a sleek studio space, Hopleaf, a gastropub with over 300 brews available to accompany appetizers such as steamed mussels and steak frites, Scout, where quirky vintage goods are on display, along with restored rustic wood furnishings and impressive home decor, and several other shops and restaurants worth the time to see. The Swedish American Museum is also located in Andersonville, where more than 13,000 historical

artifacts help to tell the story of Swedish immigration.

On the southwest side of Chicago lies the neighborhood of Beverly, filled with rolling hills and small-town charm. Visitors can go to Givins Castle, which houses the Beverly Unitarian Church and has a rich past which is highlighted at the Chicago History Museum. Enjoy a drink at a handful of Irish pubs, including Cork & Kerry on Western Avenue, and visit Beverly Bakery & Cafe, which is said to be the only Chicago coffee roaster south of Bridgeport, selling 22 different types of coffee available by the pound or enjoy it in a cup while you are there.

Bridgeport is the neighborhood to discover plenty of local color and flavor, with a warm indie vibe and hidden gems throughout.

Those who love finding stores offering unique and unusual items will want to shop until you drop, with boutiques offering potions, records, toys, art, jewelry, and more. The restaurants will

Maria’s Packaged Goods & Community Bar offers a craft-beer bottle shop, as well as a list of 400 brews available to sit down and enjoy. One of the neighborhood’s few public galleries, Zhou B Art Center is home to local artists’ work. Enjoy an incredible skyline view from 33 feet above street level in Palmisano Park (Stearns Quarry Park), a 27acre urban prairie which is home to an old limestone quarry and a great place to go fishing when in season.

Historic Bronzeville is located on the south side, and offers beautiful architecture, monuments, theatre, and live music. For music lovers, Ellis Park is home to the Gospel Music Festival in June, and Room 43 houses the Hyde Park Jazz Society,

performing every Sunday night. For history buffs, you can visit the mausoleum of the Illinois senator, Stephan A. Douglas, who lost the presidential race to Abraham Lincoln, or take the Mies van der Rohe Tour at the Illinois Institute of Technology and explore 20 of the architect’s buildings right where he used to work as head of the architecture department.

Not to be missed, Chicago Avenue is full of new bars, restaurants, and shops to enjoy. Leopold is a Belgian restaurant featuring cocktails, beers, and amazing appetizers. La Farine Bakery offers delicious bread pudding and an impressive daily selection of addictive bakery goodies, and Hoosier Mama Pie Company will make you want to come back for second helpings of their baked pies.

It’s also important to feel mentally and physically ready to be pregnant again. “With your first child you’re 100 percent in, fully invested in that pregnancy,” Dr. Uhing said. “With baby number two you have to juggle both of them.”

W

ith baby number one, everything was new: bibs, bottles, crib, sleeping schedule, and the life adjustment. Now, with your toddler in tow, you’re an old pro at this baby thing.

Yet when the idea of a second child crosses your mind, are you ready?

While having your first baby opened your eyes to the world of parenting, no pregnancy is the same. “Each and every pregnancy stands alone,” said Molly Uhing, MD, OB/GYN specialist with Avera Medical Group Obstetrics & Gynecology. Symptoms like general malaise or discomfort can change with each pregnancy.

However, some issues can return, for example, gestational diabetes has about a 50 percent chance of recurrence.

“Your second pregnancy is usually better than the first. You tend to be calmer and able to handle the small aches and pains of pregnancy better, now that you have already experienced it once and know that it all usually works out well,” Dr. Uhing said. “The anxiety and worry tend to be better the second time around. However, it does get uncomfortable playing on the floor with a toddler, when you could lie on the couch when you were tired during your first pregnancy.”

Some advance steps can help you start your second pregnancy on a healthy track. Even before you get pregnant, start taking prenatal vitamins and schedule a checkup with your provider.

If your first baby involved a preterm delivery, C-section or other special circumstances, talk with your doctor about minimizing your risks the second time around. For example, there are medications that can reduce the risk for a second preterm delivery such as weekly progesterone injections from 16-20 weeks until 36-37 weeks. Having had a previous C-section doesn’t mean that you will have to have another C-section.

“Your physician will want to review the record from your first C-section to determine if you could be a candidate for delivering your second baby vaginally,” Dr. Uhing said.

Additionally, while spacing between children is up to you, it’s best to wait until your body is ready to nurture and develop another child. “A good timeframe from a safety standpoint is 18 months from delivery to delivery to allow your body to heal,” said Dr. Uhing. It’s helpful if you’ve had time to get close to your pre-pregnancy weight.

“The best thing you can do to help you take off pregnancy weight gain is breastfeeding. It burns an extra 500-600 calories a day above and beyond what your body normally uses.

Otherwise, watching what you eat and getting started with an exercise program after your first baby is at least 6 weeks old is helpful too,” Dr. Uhing said.

Avoid packaged foods, processed foods and simple carbohydrates. Increase fruits and vegetables and healthy proteins like nuts and lean meats, she advised.

It’s also important to feel mentally and physically ready to be pregnant again. “With your first child you’re 100 percent in, fully invested in that pregnancy,” Dr. Uhing said. “With baby number two you have to juggle both of them.”

When second baby does arrive, stick to a routine as best you can, and give yourself plenty of time to make the adjustment.

Having two young children in the home is a “new normal” that can be a little overwhelming. “Don’t feel like you need to be superwoman,” said Dr. Uhing.

“Get lots of rest,” she advised. “Take naps when both of your children are napping. Continue to exercise to keep your energy levels up, help with weight loss, and get some personal time for yourself.”

Reaching out to family, friends, daycares, schools or your church can help lighten your burden and ease the transition.

“Life goes on, and you just have to find that healthy balance,” Dr. Uhing said.

Motherhood in Friendship

by Amity Shay

M

otherhood by far, has been my single greatest joy in life.

Through the sleepless nights and the terrifying trips to the ER...to the mountains of school supplies...to that very first concert, my mommy friends have always been there. When you have your first child you can sometimes feel really isolated, alone and even scared, because everything is new. It’s hard to connect with friends who don’t share the same experiences or the same sleep schedule.

That’s why when I became a mother I had found myself in this crazy mess of beauty called motherhood. Best thing was, I wasn’t alone! Others had flocked to the opportunity to change diapers and become esteemed mommy bloggers too. It was fantastic to finally not be judged because I may not have noticed the applesauce in my hair or that my shirt was inside out, because that too was very real and did happen, more than once.

To be encircled with others who were in the same ship filled with rubber fish and soap that smelled like lavender, was amazing.

I realized early on how no matter what the situation was, I really relied on that community of sisters. How motherhood

Celebrations

changed not only myself, but the friendships I held dearest. I also saw how important building each other up was instead of racing to the top stair and how it was so much more valuable to all parties involved. The acceptance and willingness to bend to see something in a different angle, was in fact quite engaging and brilliant in some cases. Without my mommy friends, fails and wins, I might have never learned to make my own baby food, fully understand the ingredients in my laundry soap or know a really fantastic Malbec. We all held so much wisdom from paths we’d already taken and there was no time like the present to gather and share.

Friendship in motherhood is almost as amazing as those finger painted hearts and hand decorated flower pots...almost.

It sweetens this gig for sure. How reassuring it is to call a friend and have them lay your fears to rest or be the ear to listen when you need a good or ugly cry, because that sometimes happens too. A beautiful person on the other line that gets how using the “big boy potty” is indeed the biggest and best news ever. That kindred spirit that shares in your need for a really good organic

chocolate bar and won’t judge if you eat the whole thing without sharing — even with your kids. Motherhood is richer because of the mothers we get to celebrate it with.

So I say this Mother’s Day, celebrate the ladies that make it more fun to congregate at the park for a play date. Remember the ones who remembered that you had a dentist appointment and called to see how you were doing. Shower soon to be new mamas with extra love and lots of smiles because they too will be part of this crazy, messy and sometimes smelly club. Then when the hand-made cards oozing with glitter fall on your lap on Mother’s Day, take lots of pictures and share because it is truly the most amazing and beautiful thing to be a mommy, mama, mom or mum.

Motherhood and friendship doesn’t always go hand in hand, but when it does, hold on. These are some of the most incredible years of your life and those special gals make it even better.

For Beth and Leonor and all the other best mommy friends out there. Through the markers and the mud, may your Mother’s Day be filled with love! Cheers!

Nurturing I

t appears that many people come by nurturing, caring and loving very easily. When you add a child or a new pet, that instinct seems to blossom.

For others, it is difficult.

Caring for others is the most intimate and selfless acts we can do as humans. The world gives us a lot of opportunities to care, but we don’t always heed the call. It can be due to lack of time, money or energy. Quite often it is the mental barriers we erect, to avoid the possibility that it will end in disappointment or pain. Fear is the most powerful deterrent to risking relationships.

Well, how does this relate to pets? Pets provide us a great chance to love and nurture. People have such big hearts and they need to be used.

Our dogs, cats, birds, goats, chickens and many other creatures provide us a living, interactive presence. They do not judge. They rely on us for food, shelter and companionship. We need to care for them even if they have rolled in the mud!

The unconditional love that goes back in forth between people and their pets is good for the soul. Too often people like to judge each other. Are your clothes, car or home up to standards? Does your lawn have weeds? Your dog really does not care!

labels. Simple things in life are often missed. We are supposed to stop and smell the roses, and maybe we should take a cue from our dogs. Let’s take time to stop and say hello to someone, greet each day with a smile and take a walk, even if it is raining.

This nurturing goes away when someone loses their pet or has to move where they cannot have a pet any more. The loss shows on their faces at times. We need to be needed! This is where we put up barriers.

The pain of loss can be so much that we don’t want to risk the hurt again.

Time and time again people tell me that they will never have another pet.

It was just too much to lose them. That fear should be put to rest. The emotional pain means that it was a good thing for many years. We shouldn’t miss out the chance of a new relationship.

Age can also be a factor. Many seniors worry about what will happen if they pass or have to go to the nursing home. Pets are important at this point in our lives. They provide companionship and keep us moving. Family members need to help them, by assuring them the pet will get a new home if that occurs.

Caring, nurturing and unconditional love have strong power. They lift us up when we are down and sustain us when we are challenged. Motherhood seems to be the perfect mix of all of these emotions.

Happy Mothers Day!

Sherman Park Indian Burial Mounds

By Bruce Blake

I

Sherman Park Indian Burial Mounds Sioux Falls, Sherman Park

n these mounds were buried the physical remains of Indians who lived in Eastern South Dakota 1600 years ago. Radiocarbon testing established the time of the burials. Known to archeologists as the Woodland Indians, they moved westward from the eastern forests, changing from deer hunting to the pursuit of buffalo on the vast Dakota grasslands.

As hunters they lived in temporary shelters but left these mounds as permanent monuments to their dead. Later, Dakotah and other Indians roamed this area, also burying their dead in these same mounds.

In 1962 the University of South Dakota excavated the second mound from the West. In it were found the skeletons of four Woodland Indians and a later adult burial. Also found was the skeleton of a horse, probably buried within the last 100 years. Fragments of remains of cooking pots were scattered among the remains of the Woodland Indians.

Only the skulls and large bones of the Woodland Indians were buried. As was the custom of many of the Plains Indians, the dead were first laid on scaffolds, and at a later date the largest bones were buried in the earth.
