Worth a thousand words
I may complain about how little I make at my part time paper job, but there is one thing I can honestly say about it - it's days like yesterday...wandering about...talking with people...learning about future, past and present through their eyes..and then being trusted to share it all with others - it truly makes for a full life of living, rather than just existing.....
Here is a glimpse into my day yesterday....
The day started with a trip over to the Labor Day Fly-In at the Mauston-New Lisbon Airport..an annual event that always gathers a crowd - A little airport nestled between corn fields comes alive with planes, an auto show, vendors and much more..
Next on my list to cover was the 2nd Annual Potluck at Stewarts Chapel ..just outside of Mauston ...again, in the middle of farms and cornfields. Going to this event for the Juneau County Historical Society always is like stepping back into time..many of the people who attend have lived in the area their entire lives, and have ancestors who built the area into what it is...many stories...many memories..and what Justin loves most about the event - lots of free food!
After taking my leave from the potluck I returned home for a bit and then headed out later in the day for yet another celebration of community. One where yet again memories of loved ones were being shared, but this time those memories and the gathering was an effort to make a future brighter for someone with cancer, and their families...
