Feeling headachy and tired, with my eyes screwed up and squinty against the bright white primer, I was sick of painting the garage. My wrist hurt, my eyes hurt, my neck hurt. Stretching my neck, I bent my head back and immediately smiled to see a Great Blue Heron flying against the brilliant blue. From that moment on, I was fine.

Nebraska Family
Monday, September 13th, 2010 by Russanne Erickson
I haven’t lived in my hometown for about 11 years. I miss my friends and family a lot, especially during those milestone moments like babies and weddings.
