better late than never

the reason i came to cedar falls/waterloo, is for a friend, jill. she lived in the area a couple years ago while working; restoring a church. i had wanted to visit her back then, but never managed to. better late than never. flipped thru a phonebook this morning at the state park to find where the church or a library might be. it just happened to land on the page w/ the john deere factory address and phone # and i immediately recalled a conversation w/ jill about how she had gone there and everything was yellow and green and everyone was happy - all the workers on the assembly line. she made it sound like the farmer's version of willy wonka's chocolate factory. so, i called up john deere and made a reservation for a tour tomorrow. today - gonna try to find the church and check out town.
