A Dinner Date

So my husband calls me up and tells me that he and friend Ken have been
invited to tag along to dinner with friend Gary.  And it just so
happens that Gary’s been invited to have dinner with Chris Dodd.  Gary is a corporate real estate attorney and apparently Chris wants to chat with him about the current real estate market.

Steve’s been in Iowa now since the end of August.  I’m moving out as of
December 5th.  I know one thing for sure…for such a tiny little
place, there sure seems to be a lot going on in Iowa City.  I have a feeling I may be in for a big surprise – as in who knows – I might REALLY like it.

  2. Connie,
    Iowa City can be quite enjoyable for a smaller town. You can always visit Madison if you need a little more pizzaz.
    But Iowa is a very beautiful state in its own way. I have several photos of Iowa on my photo blog which show Iowa at it’s best. And a quote I wrote for one of the photos rather sums Iowa. The photos were all taken north of Iowa City.
    “This part of Iowa is mostly fields and farms, but there is a quality that gentles the mind in these particularly pastoral settings. Perhaps it is that there is no place for the eye to stop, so the mind just continues to travel endlessly and peacefully along.” barbara
    Just found your blog a few weeks ago. I found Steve’s name in the participants of ‘Split this Rock.’ I am a disabled poet, (unpublished, but with an excited editor) and plan on going to DC in March to speak my piece (peace) in one of the open mics if I can. This is one of my passions. I hope to hear Steve while I am there.

  3. Right now we’ve got more politicians than Christmas lights! It doesn’t take much to get a handshake from every potential president in Iowa City these days–unless it’s a Republican. We do have our standards!
    See you soon, Connie!
