Day 98
The Belles of Belfield
July 2nd, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Belfield Belles! … and you’re now walking into the Badlands of North Dakota (not to be confused with the Badlands of South Dakota) … watch for the herds of wild horses (some supposedly descended from Sitting Bull’s horses) … think of them as Badlands Belles … you’re now in rattlesnake country, Matt … hmmm, rattlesnake bells aren’t a good thing! Tread lightly …
Hello Matt,
I just wanted to tell you how impressive and amazing this adventure of your is. I have just found out about it from some reference in another blog and I am adding you to my favourites right away. Please, don’t stop posting :)
Best wishes,
Dani.

Yay! I get to be the first one to thank the Belfield Belles!
Thank you Karen, Marcie, and Desirae for taking care of Matt.
So the mid-afternoon meal is “dinner?” I live in Texas and still don’t know the difference between dinner and supper. Shhh….y’all don’t tell anyone.
I ran into that on the East coast, Katzien. Breakfast, dinner, and supper. Apparently it’s an American mid-west/ east coast thing.
Dinner is the main meal of the day. It can be at mid-day, and then the evening meal is supper. If the main meal is in the evening, then the mid-day meal is lunch. Back when many men came home at noon, they had dinner, to fuel them for the hard afternoon of farm or other work to follow.
Thanks Mom for that simple explanation. Couldn’t have explained it better myself.
Mom’s so smart.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I always thought supper was Michigan-billy slang for dinner. This all makes sense to me now.
I’ll add my thanks to the Belles of Belfield for being so kind to Matthew.
Sweet photo. Kind people say so much with their smiles.
What a bunch of sweet girls! Matt, you’re so lucky to meet so many generous people.
Clearly the same gene pool for this trio.
