Buying The Perfect House – Mpls Transplant
https://mplstransplant.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/buying-the-perfect-house
Is Minnesota Nice contagious? God, I hope so…. August 7, 2015. August 7, 2015. Buying The Perfect House. Twenty five houses in four days and we still hadn’t found the perfect one. As we climbed into our minivan the morning of the fifth day of house hunting, hot coffees in hand, our realtor got real. And a great sense of humor. Who knew that house hunting could be so funny? Our top three house picks for sheer entertainment value:. The Sex Dungeon House. Because with that hardware, the seat could probably ...

Thirteen – Mpls Transplant
https://mplstransplant.wordpress.com/2015/06/24/thirteen
Is Minnesota Nice contagious? God, I hope so…. June 24, 2015. June 24, 2015. Thirteen isn’t easy. Thirteen is awkward and gangly. It’s tripping over your feet because they’ve grown another size overnight, or wearing shorts because pants that were too long yesterday are high water today. Thirteen is finding your voice and stating your opinions which may be different from your parents for the first time. It’s also losing your voice and having it crack when introducing yourself to strangers. Leave a Reply C...

Strong Men: George and The Library – Mpls Transplant
https://mplstransplant.wordpress.com/2015/06/21/strong-men-george-and-the-library
Is Minnesota Nice contagious? God, I hope so…. June 21, 2015. June 21, 2015. Strong Men: George and The Library. Everyone noticed George. He was tall, good looking with movie star hair and an easy smile. People always remember him as outgoing, funny and quick with a sarcastic joke. At social events, his acquaintances would grab my arm and say, “You’re George’s daughter? If Dad was alive and my age today, I like to think he would pour over blog posts and digital books and engage on message boards if he co...

Making The Face – Mpls Transplant
https://mplstransplant.wordpress.com/2015/07/12/making-the-face
Is Minnesota Nice contagious? God, I hope so…. July 12, 2015. July 12, 2015. My first review with the new boss was awkward. She tossed her dark brown ringlets behind her as she fiddled with the pen, looking down at notes on the conference room table. We covered the basics of my review and there were no concerns, and yet we sat, waiting. I scrunched my forehead in concentration and squinted thoughtfully. A mysterious and unconscious defect? This was unexpected. “Sure, what’s that? My eyebrows shot up and ...

Is Minnesota Nice contagious? God, I hope so…. June 19, 2015. June 19, 2015. Strong Men: Rell and The Fireworks. Mythic stories were told by Mom about Grandpa Rell. How he was smart and charming with startling grey-blue eyes, an important banker and a big personality in a small farming town, like Atticus Finch and Clark Kent rolled into one. Rell died from a heart attack when I was six months old, so all I have are pictures and other people’s memories. I have no idea whether this incident happened or not...

Rainbow Trout And Mangled Laundry – Mpls Transplant
https://mplstransplant.wordpress.com/2015/07/18/rainbow-trout-and-mangled-laundry
Is Minnesota Nice contagious? God, I hope so…. July 18, 2015. Rainbow Trout And Mangled Laundry. The nightstand next to my bed overflows with unread books. The latest bestsellers, paperback sci-fi novels, manuals on how to publish your first book or how to use your new digital camera. Cleaning it off the other day, a small red book got my attention. My grandmother’s One Year Diary for 1961-1962. Lily’s entries are sweet and often nostalgic. Some of the wording confuses me. What does it mean...Her many en...

Richard S. Crawford's World. A-Z] J is for Jalapeño. April 26, 2015. Richard S. Crawford. Okay, I know these aren’t Jalapeño peppers. They’re Thai peppers, which are worse. And this story is about Thai food and Thai peppers and pain. Fortunately, next to the grocery store there was an Asian food market. So I went in there and hunted around. I found some small red peppers, dried, and the label read “dried Thai peppers”, so I examined them. Here’s where my inexperience with food in general comes in. I yelp...

Richard S. Crawford's World. A-Z] V is for Victory! April 30, 2015. Richard S. Crawford. So I went and wrote twenty-six blog entries, including this one, one for each letter of the alphabet. I did it out of order, and got scolded for that, but who says the alphabet has to be in alphabetical order? In library school I learned that order is what you make it. Is the Library of Congress catalog system in alphabetical order? It most certainly is not. I rest my case. Bwah ha ha haaaaaa! April 30, 2015. As I gr...

Richard S. Crawford's World. A-Z] T is for Thumb. April 29, 2015. Richard S. Crawford. A brief entry for you tonight. Then two entries tomorrow. Then the [A-Z] blogging challenge will be over. At any rate, have you ever had a hangnail? The kind that turns your finger an ugly red color when you accidentally snag it on something, or slip when you cut it off with a pair a nail clippers? I have. When I was a kid I was prone to them all the time for some reason. And now, about four hours later, the wound is s...
