Today I spent all morning in my Health Assessment clinical portion, taught by one of my favorite professors, Karla Ross. Last semester she taught Pathophysiology and gained my respect pretty quickly. This morning she continued to gain ground. After efficiently getting through her material (three hours early!) we were sitting around our table and she was telling us that she always has her 207 class out to her house at the end of the semester.
“Did you know that we don’t have TV? I mean, we have a TV to watch movies, but getting satellite would mean we have to cut down our favorite trees, and we aren’t going to do that. So instead, we listen to the radio. Every Saturday night, Prairie Home Companion.
We have a little shed that is about 10x12, and there is a wood burning stove in there, so many Saturday nights, my husband used to go out there and sit and listen to the radio. One night I decided that I would see what he was up to, and when I got there, he offered me his rocking chair.
‘If we are going to sit out here, we might as well get a bottle of wine.’
So there we were, in our little 10x12 shed, drinking wine, listening to the Prairie Home Companion, with the top window open watching the snow come down in our rocking chairs with a whole 3000 sq foot house not too far away!
So girls, this is what you have to look forward to in the future.”
It made me smile.
That shed is now full of chickens.
