A Prairie Girl in New England: Settling in.
http://prairiegirlnewengland.blogspot.com/2011/09/settling-in.html
A Prairie Girl in New England. Now that I'm no longer in school and just working. It's hard to figure out what to do to fill my days. I've re-joined the Y and am having a great time doing laps regularly. The only drawback: sometimes having to squeak my way around older folks swimming laps more slowly than I wish to swim mine. I've been taking Sully to Unity Park more often, but can't on rainy days like today. So here I am, streaming way too many TV shows. I tried Raising Hope. View my complete profile.

A Prairie Girl in New England. Michael and I sat in the sixth row at Mountain Park last night for one of the best shows I've seen. Here's what they played:. The Wolves (Act I and II). As we drove away, the rain got heavier and we chatted about our favorite songs of the night. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Born and raised near Chicago.

A Prairie Girl in New England. Our new tradition has proven to be a ridiculously fun, relaxing, recharging one. I'm already looking forward to next year's get-together, which will bring us all back to Colorado College for our tenth reunion. We're old. The Lobster Pool in Rockport, Mass. Links to this post. This made me smile yesterday. Things that made me smile today, in order of occurrence. Sully's wagging tail as I opened the door for our morning walk. My first sip of coffee on my drive to school.

A Prairie Girl in New England. From Turners Falls River Culture. I try to run on our neighborhood bike path as often as I can. The days are getting shorter and colder, and I'll be sad when winter finally hits New England and my runs there dwindle down to none. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Prairie Girl in New England. Michael Walter Maier: 1923-2011. Passed away on December 15th. Michael and I flew out to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin the day after Christmas for his funeral. Most of the Maier family gathered at Grandma and Grandpa's house that evening. Grandma led the way in deciding to celebrate his life rather than mourn the loss of it. He lived 88 wonderful years, after all. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. The photo poster boards were set up, as well...

A Prairie Girl in New England. Does a weekly interview with local morning DJ, Monte Belmonte. He usually comes in on my day off, but one week I was lucky enough to be there while he was recording. He ended up follwing Steve and I around during a possible urinary tract infection appointment. Hear me talk about urine and say "Oh boy" too many times. Click on the photo to listen.

A Prairie Girl in New England. On my morning walk with Sully this morning I spotted a sunflower reaching above the bushes that line the parking lot across the street from our apartment. These are the same bushes where I discovered a birdhouse this past winter. Toward the Montague Senior Center. Links to this post. Click to find the bumblebee. Links to this post.

A Prairie Girl in New England. Congress shut the government down two days ago. Our daughter was born 3 months ago yesterday. I quit my job so we could move to Vermont for Michael's dream job 4 months ago. In the midst of all of this I've been trying to understand something: how were we supposed to do all this without government assistance? What bootstraps were we supposed to grab? Where did we go wrong? In wanting to start a family? In striving for jobs that make us happy people? Links to this post.
