Yesterday, I was walking upstairs at the Minnesota History Center, and three older (than me) women were coming down. One of them, a smallish woman, saw me and her eyes lit up. She said how NICE it was to see me again so soon! I smiled, not recognizing her, and said I meet so many people in a week...how had we met? I couldn't place her. She started describing whatever it was we met over, complete with hand gestures, and absolutely NO clues to our 'shared experience'. One of her companions came back up the stairs to where we were chatting, and said with a sigh, "It's time to go". We said quick goodbyes, and she hoped we'd meet again soon....
LOL...it seemed like our original meeting was delightful. I hope so, especially since it was clearly just in her mind....
Here's another one of those I-wasn't-there-but-I-wish-I-would-have-been experiences--Larry found it online, researching Sleepy Eye, Mn--and it looks like so much fun:

WHAT was "Market Day" ("--the Wedding--") in Sleepy Eye in August 1910? There's so much in the photo that doesn't compute!
