A few weeks ago two of my dear friends from Minnesota came for a visit. I was so excited to have them make the trek to Wisconsin and spend a couple days. The time went far too quickly, of course, but we had a wonderful time together.
We played alot of games and did a ton of laughing. We walked downtown Colfax arm in arm which made a couple of the locals take a second look. The library and a couple thrift stores were visited. The gentleman at the thrift store caused us a few laughs as he complained that Colfax was no longer what it used to be. Why, there used to be a hardware store, etc. You could get any thing you needed here in Colfax. He also sang along to the radio piped into the store, and he caused one of my friends to cling to me in fear of being left alone with him in a corner of the store.
It made them feel better about my move when they saw the wonderful home we have and how I have settled in just fine. I think they left with good feelings about my new situation plus it's always nice to experience the surroundings instead of just hearing about them.
I am most grateful for these good friends.
