On The Perfect Side Of The Road
Sat the Historic and often-visited old church
Mike (my Significant Other) likes to go for rides and “see the country.” I’m one of those who would rather drive than ride, so we’re often a perfect combination.
We had gone to an early church service in his little town of Readlyn, Iowa, so it was a perfect Sunday to take off on another unplanned adventure. There wasn’t much of a breeze, but just enough to have the tall corn wave to us as we drove along the not-too-busy highway. Off in the distance, we could see the blades of a few wind farms slowly rotating and creating power.
We had chosen to head north on Highway 63. Zipping by us were cars with Minnesota license plates, and we were only about 100 miles from Rochester and Mayo Clinic.
We had no location in mind. We were just out for a Sunday drive to escape the boredom of another Sunday as “couch potatoes” or glued to our iPads or computers.
Mike saw the sign for Nashua, Iowa, and the historic “Little Brown Church,” and even though we’d seen it several times, this just seemed like the perfect spot. Driver and car are both accustomed to his quick decisions, so turn, we did!
He was also scanning the Atlas in his lap to see where our next stop might be!
