visit in the sun

 

For years Stacy’s been telling me about two things: Richard Mellencamp and Nashville, Indiana. She and her sisters used to go to Nashville every October to start their Christmas shopping. It’s very near Seymour where her mother grew up with Richard Mellencamp. I’ve been stressed the last few months, and Stacy invited me to go to Nashville for a mini vacation this week. Stacy has known Richard for several years, but she had never been to Seymour. On our way to Nashville today, we stopped off in Seymour to visit with Richard and his totally hilarious friend Kim Williams. Richard is exactly as Stacy described him: just about the sweetest man ever. A handshake wouldn’t do, he insisted on hugs. He took us to lunch, and then he and Kim drove us around Seymour showing us all the places where he and Stacy’s mom used to live and hang out. It was an extraordinary day in so many ways, and it’s always a blessing to be in the company of fine people. Richard Mellencamp is one such person.
