Another cold day in October

Saturday Oct 6, 2012

    Another cold day.  It's hard to believe that only a few days ago it was in the 80s and today it did not even get to 50.  The wind seemed to drill right through you.  The trees have turned to mostly browns and greys.  The leaves were so dry that most of them have turned to yellow granules instead of lying loosely in piles.
   Today we rode with R's sister and husband down to the tiny town of Buffalo Center, Iowa.  Other than the excitement of visiting a new town, we went there to shop at Weavers Shoe Store.  This place is the reason people come to this village of 963.  For the shoes.  The shoe store has been in the family for three generations with the forth generation (two sons) working in the store.  
    The store has more shoes and shoe styles than stores in major cities in any state.  We traveled, we shopped and we purchased three pairs of shoes for R,  plus some polish and a pair of laces.  It was worth the trip.
