Coming to the Rescue

Last Friday night I was walking through the grocery store when my cell phone rang.  It was Andy, he was on his way down to see me before we went to Milwaukee the next day for Steve’s graduation party.  Our conversation went something like this:
                Me:  “Hey, where are you?”
                Andy:  “In the middle of nowhere.  My car stopped working?”
                Me:  “Did you run out of gas?”
                Andy:  “No it just stopped.?
                Me:  “Oh, do you want me to come get you?”
                Andy:  “Probably. . .  I’m between Point and Portage.”
                Me:  OK, I have to drop my groceries at home and then I’ll head out.  It will be about an hour.”
                Andy:  “That should work.  I’ll call you when I know where I’m getting it towed.”
                Me:  “Ok, see you in a bit.”

It turned out that Andy was just outside of Westfield.  So, that’s were I picked him up.  After chatting with the mechanic for a bit we headed back to my place.  The next morning we hit State St. on the way to Milwaukee to pick up graduation cards.  Sat. was a wonderful day for a party in the park.  It was a bit windy and a bit cloudy and a bit warm, but never too much of anything at one time. 

Since Andy knew he was going to be in Madison until at least the middle of the week, he figured this would be a great time to visit with his relatives in town.  Sunday was a lovely walk in the woods, dinner, and Trivial Pursuit with Jim, Peg and thier 2 kids.  Monday was dinner and wonderful conversation with Lavonne, Mike and their 2 youngest boys.  And Tuesday was dinner and wonderful conversation with Sue and Bill.  Andy and I also went out and did some exploring of Madison.  Which I found really helpful, since I haven’t had much of a chance to do much exploring and Andy is much more familiar with Madison than I am.  And on Friday, I got home from work and took Andy to his car.

It really was a wonderful week.  As much as I enjoy living alone, I really enjoyed having the company.  It was nice to get home from work and have someone to talk to. . .  But, now that I have the internet again, I can IM people.  Not quite the same as face-to-face or phone conversations, but it’s something.
