I am from country roads, cows and chickens in the yard and a dial phone on the wall.
I am from flying in an airplane with my Dad to Mackinac Island for the day.
I am from adding up miles of bike riding and running during the summer.
I am from dresses sewn by my Grandmother.
I am from a house with no television but a large yard, acres of fields and woods and a great big barn that entertained us beter than a television could have.

About Me
- Lorenda
- I am a runner, I've run 6 marathons and every race distance between that and 5K. I have done 1 sprint triathlon so far. I started this blog when I went back to college in Jan. 2009 at the age of 46.(thus the title, "runner nerd"!) I was the world's oldest college student! I graduated December 15, 2012 first in my class! I really was a nerd! After a long career in EMS, I needed a change. Since earning my degree, I work in a hospital as a Respiratory Therapist. I have 2 grown up kids.
Reading the line about an airplane reminded me of my grandfather. He also flew places. I remember when I was younger he would take me for flies around the island.
ReplyDeleteAlso the chickens. I love chickens. when I was younger we had chickens and they would run around in the yard and then get lost in the fields.
I can relate a lot to your "where I'm from" poem :)
wish I could fly to Mackinac whenever I want:)
