Little Lisa On the Road(s): May 2011
http://lawwellinghoff.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Little Lisa On the Road(s). Monday, May 16, 2011. We set out to see it with my brother, sister-in-law, and their three kids. As we drove North, out of town, the landscape became hilly. Perhaps because of the hills, I find this part of Iowa especially beautiful. The road twists and turns though woods until it comes to the massive concrete wall that holds back the water, the lake created when the river was damned. At every step, there was a fossil.

Little Lisa On the Road(s): October 2010
http://lawwellinghoff.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Little Lisa On the Road(s). Sunday, October 24, 2010. The swimming hole was a sliver of a river- sand and gravel on one side and a cliff face on the other. A few trees grew from the rock face, but huge boulders stood at the feet of the rock cliff and from the sandy and rocky side, the ground sloped downward into a cool pool of deep water. The water was clear and green and large fish swam in the deepest parts. It was lovely. It was a perfect summer day. We had felt blessed. Links to this post. Podcast 79:...

Little Lisa On the Road(s): Rock Love
http://lawwellinghoff.blogspot.com/2011/04/rock-love.html
Little Lisa On the Road(s). Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Iowa has a fossil gorge. I was very excited about this. I have a long history with fossils. He has a perspective of place that Geology gave me. The land has a story, whether we are aware of that our not. Rocks have a long, slow story. So do trees, sand, rivers, dirt, continents, oceans, fish, dogs, cats, humans, coal, malls, and us. To name a few. I am hooked on this story. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Carpool of Truth. In the Pines: Part 2.

Little Lisa On the Road(s): The Carpool of Truth
http://lawwellinghoff.blogspot.com/2011/04/carpool-of-truth.html
Little Lisa On the Road(s). Thursday, April 21, 2011. The Carpool of Truth. This Fall when I went to Oktoberfest in Kalona, Iowa with my husband and my brother. We moved to Iowa in August and proceeded to put together our house. The hubby prepared for Law school and I prepared for the job his brother helped me get at a private college in Illinois. So we headed downtown in his car, walked all over downtown Iowa, meet up with my husband and some of his law school friends for lunch at a Korean restaurant, a...

Little Lisa On the Road(s): In the Pines: Part 2
http://lawwellinghoff.blogspot.com/2011/04/in-pines-part-2.html
Little Lisa On the Road(s). Tuesday, April 12, 2011. In the Pines: Part 2. When I moved to West Virginia, I was excited about the hills. I had been working that summer with a group of Geologists in Tulsa. Within seconds of telling them I would be leaving them for West Virginia, they whipped out the geologic maps of the area and explained the geology of the area to me. Hills again. I was excited. I should have known. I should have recognized it. Both were difficult terrain too. In Arkansas I once enco...

Little Lisa On the Road(s): March 2010

Little Lisa On the Road(s). Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Monday Jan 4, 2010: Decadence in the Ordinary. Monday put us on the other side of the week we were spending in Maceio and it became apparent we would be leaving sooner than we thought. We were anxious to see more and do more so that we would not regret anything when we were on the plane home thinking back about what we had seen. We decided to start our day by going to the Centro. Maceio’s downtown was a pedestrian mall. What would my Saturday be like?

Little Lisa On the Road(s). Sunday, February 28, 2010. Contentment In Maceio: Saturday Jan 2, 2010. Rebecca had asked Barb about a good place to eat breakfast and Barb told her about a place called the Bodega. We ordered juices and sat facing the ocean. To our left was a sandy area designated for volleyball. A group of men were playing a game that was called volleyball football. It was half volleyball and half soccer. Ernani enjoyed watching them play. I am never comfortable in such places. Never. We too...

Little Lisa On the Road(s): A Personal Reflection on Words, Writing, and Travel
http://lawwellinghoff.blogspot.com/2011/04/personal-reflection-on-words-writing.html
Little Lisa On the Road(s). Thursday, April 14, 2011. A Personal Reflection on Words, Writing, and Travel. Luckily, I meet another person in West Virginia, my future husband, who was interested in see this place while I was here plan, or at least interested in seeing the little places my map said we might go. I credit this map and the social network for new faculty at the University, called the Rookies, with getting to know and falling in love with my husband. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Little Lisa On the Road(s): August 2010
http://lawwellinghoff.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Little Lisa On the Road(s). Friday, August 20, 2010. I am not a winter person, but I love summer, even the heat. As the weather warms up and Spring approaches, I get cabin fever and start to day dream about being able to walk outside without a coat, swim in a river, and sleep outside over night. I day dream about camping, about being in the woods- hearing the birds, starting a fire, sleeping in a tent. But, before I left the Appalachian Mountains, I had to say goodbye to them. Ernani picked Senaca Rocks&...
