Sept. 24, 2013

Today started out very dreary and rainy, as they predicted, so we didn’t move too quickly this morning.  We ate lunch and I had to check out the quilt shop in town, and was very impressed with their selections, and supplies.  It even had yarn, so it was a pretty complete shop.  Even more reason for me to feel like I could live here!  While we were there, we asked to see a phone book to get ‘Marv’s’ phone number.  Marv is the fellow that our friend, Sam, from Waunakee wanted us to contact while we were in the area.  We called him and he said he would be home at 3:00, if we wanted to come out.  Well, our dreary day turned into a very pleasant and enriching day!  It even seemed to get brighter after we left Marv.  He has a Christmas tree farm and lives on a hill overlooking the beautiful little town of Polson and its lake below.  While we were visiting with Marv, his brother-in-law, Doug had arrived for the evening.  So we got to meet Marv and Doug, and we had such a wonderful visit with them both.  They are leaving for California tomorrow, for Marv’s grandson’s wedding.  So it was lucky for us, that we called Marv today, as he would have been gone tomorrow.  We have a feeling that we will see them both again sometime, and hopefully, meet Doug’s wife next time.   It turned out to be a great day!
