Update

Nancy and I are enjoying our time here in Louisville. Donita stated that this was God's country. I don't know about that but if it isn't you certainly are close. The people on the whole are friendly and willing to help "aliens among them." I am sure they wonder if we speak the same language that they do. I almost have saying Louisville down. One person said that you say Louisville as if you are spitting tobbaca.
We have toured several art museums and plan to go yet today. Tonight we will be attending another dinner theater, "Wait til Dark." Wednesday we will be traveling and plan to be back by Friday evening. This has been a wonderful time.
What has impressed so is how important hospitality really is. I remember reading that in a restaurant even if the food is average and the service is great people will return based only on the service. I can appreciate that. We went to a candy store that has been in business for over 150 years. They have had different owners but they still make all their candy by hand. It is delicious. It costs more than Russel Stover but the quality is so much better. They are widely known throughout the south and mid-west for their candy. They even make sugar-free candy. The owners not only gave us a sample but spent time talking about their business and making us feel welcome. Doing that costs nothing and yet the payoff is so great. It was not just the owners but every employee who went out of their way to welcome you. A good lesson for us if we want to do radical hospitality.
