I was born and raised in Minnesota. I then went to college in Iowa and seminary in Missouri. I returned to Minnesota for my residency (yes, I lived with my parents and no, it wasn't horrible). After living for 25 years in the same time zone, I decided to take a chaplain job in Maine and moved 6 months ago. I feel all grown up, living in a different time zone than my parents. Though, I still get confused by the time change and I am constantly converting every minute back to Central Time - I don't know why.
I also adopted a dog, Boomer. He is an adorable though incredibly needy miniature pincher. Not even two years old, Boomer had a rough beginning. Most likely abused by his first owners, he was put in a shelter for nearly a month. Then he was fostered by my dear friend Kimberly until he came to live with me as his forever home. We now have the stereo-typical single gal and dog life-style. Namely, me attending to his every need and him keeping me warm at night.
Since moving to Maine, Boomer and I have explored the area on the weekends and been home-bodies on week-nights. Early to bed, early to rise, Boomer must suffer the torture of being left alone during the days while I work. I get home and he is so excited to see me that he spins on the bed like his back legs have become paralyzed but his front is suffering from a circular version of 'Restless Legs Syndrome'. It is nice to come home to that level of enthusiasm.
So, that is our life in small town Maine. I will share thoughts, activities, and general musings of my life, my dog, and Maine.
