[W] The Iowa Waltz


You just don't get this kind of wide-open sky in Southern California. When I went back to Iowa after I'd been living in Big Bear for a few years, I distinctly remember feeling like I could really stretch out, really breathe in Iowa. Now that I've married a Californian, I doubt that I'll ever land in the Midwest again -- these California folks are so attached to their balmy coastal climes. And -- well, truth be told, I've grown pretty wimpy about cold myself. But I am filled with gratitude and I feel so lucky to have grown up in Iowa.
