"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

A Spontaneous Turn of Events

For those of you who say I am not a spontaneous person, listen to this...

On Friday, I had plans to meet up with my roommate, Kathryn, and another friend, Megan, in Milan for lunch. It wasn't too long after we I got there and sat down that Kathryn said I should just follow her home. My first thought was, oh she's just joking! I didn't have anything with me, and my phone had just enough charge to last me until I got home, but I had to admit the thought was tempting. Mama Coon had been telling me I needed to get up there one day and I had never met some of the people that reappear in many of Kathryn's stories.

We set the thought aside, ate our lunch and then ran around Megan's home turf. We had a lot of fun meeting her FFA advisors, riding around in the mule and playing air hockey with Megan's little brother, but soon it was getting time to get back home. Question was, was I going back west or would I head east with Kathryn?

After a call home and assurance from Kathryn that her iPod charger would work to charge up my phone, I figured I might as well take the opportunity and go visit the Coon family.

I was in for an exciting weekend and I didn't even know it when I woke up on Friday!

To be continued...
