Most people go to Costco to pick up good deals, sometimes on large quantity items. We picked up a spectacular deal last year as we were window-wishing for area rugs. We were comparing notes and claiming ownership of different area rugs with another couple who happened to also be shopping for rugs. After a few polite laughs, we went our separate way, only to end up greeting one another again in another aisle. The third run-in was by the furniture, and we sat a spell and became friends. We discovered a lot in common. We belonged to the same Church. Her name was Wendy. She directed the choir. She led the singing in Sacrament Meeting. She was a bookkeeper who used QuickBooks. We were slightly relieved to find out her husband's name wasn't Rick, but Jim. They became our Costco friends. And she is Wendy1 and I'm Wendy2. We enjoyed visiting one another and going out to dinner a few times before they headed back to their real home in Lander, Wyoming.
