Today with the sun shining, Dennis and I headed south. No, not far enough south to get beyond the chilly winds. The location was Fairmont, about 40 miles from home. We decided to try out the Hy-Vee grocery store and then have a January 2016 celebratory meal at the Perkins restaurant in Fairmont. We have been staying quite close to Stauffer Avenue since the holidays.
Dennis was a rural milk hauler, some 55 years ago. His route to pick up the cans of milk from farmers was along the same township and county roads that we took today. Fun to reminisce about the names that were in place on farms then, and those that have taken up the farms since then.
If not for memories, we would be very small individuals. As Dennis has often commented about the changes that he has seen in his lifetime, and that there are so many more coming down the pike each day.
