Tommyknockers, photo by smalltowngirl On December 30th, we sat in Tommyknockers Brewery in Idaho Springs, Colorado. In front of us were ten tiny mugs of beer and copious amounts of food. We’d just spent a day driving to Colorado from Missouri in a four wheel drive pick-up truck, which made my small town self giddy [...] Today I went to a festival, where I wandered, wearing my red white and black cowboy boots. I wandered, taking pictures, allowing my mind to wander, too. I ate festival foods, and I felt the warm sun bring freckles to the surface of my cheeks. I met with old friends, and I paid way too much for [...] I’ve been missing New York City a lot lately. Yesterday I started looking at pictures from my move back to Missouri, and when I did, I realized there were things I had intended to blog (about my move) that I wasn’t able to at the time for logistical reasons.

It was nearly fifty degrees today after weeks of temperatures that hovered around zero, so warm sunshine and the lunar new year brought a sense of lightness to the park around us. My hope when he [...] I still have just over a month before I start my new job in Missouri, and already I’m fighting the urge to fill every anticipated free moment with an activity of one kind or another after I’ve arrived. I’ve researched intramural sports teams (dodgeball, whiffleball, kickball) in St. Louis. I’ve started thinking about who I’ll go [...] |
