Two cousins I had not seen in a long time....

One cousin I had not seen since I was 16.  We had our young faces still in each other's memories.....  The other it had been 12 years.  These two guys were the farm kids that let me attach the milkers and drive the tractor, gather eggs, and have all kinds of fun while I was there in the summer. 

We met for dinner in Knoxville Iowa, and ate at a little cafe on the square that had everything in the world on the menu.  When one cousin walked in after we had arrived (a surprise visit) he walked up to the table and I thought he was probably a friend of my cousin and his family (who have the sweetest kids!).  But he kept smiling at me, and after a few seconds of confusion, I realized it was Don.  Soooooo deep down good to see them again!  What good memories I have of them being so gracious to a city girl who wanted to be a farmgirl even then.
