Howdy folks. It's little miss Erin loadin up the wagon to conquer the rough and tumble mountains of Montana. With my books, pots and pans, cats and dog I will be chef to the Lazy K Bar Ranch http://www.lazykbar.net/ for the next three months. I look forward to the peace and solitude, but leave a big part of my heart to the people I leave behind. Without much chance for outside contact, my connections will be limited, but I have lots of time to write while I wait to get online again. Y'all be good now.

Sharing Margaritas with the nephew

A new Chapter

Again, Providence has thrown a curve my way. My intentions not so long ago were focused on a cross country voyage to live in California, close to family. As I finished my final term in the Associates program I began to wonder about pursuing a nutrition degree again. Not a week after that decision was made, a brighter future literaly walked into my life. In just a short time I have already begun to explore so much more of what this city has to offer. I've seen a number of restaurants, which I hope to write about soon, as well as just walking around with my eyes a little more open to the world around me.
Also, in about a month I will be in a completely new environment as the chef for a great ranch out in Montana. With a summer of hard work in the beauty of nature, and a extraordanairy life back in RI waiting in September, there is little that I won't be rushing to explore

The Eastern States Fair

Rhode Island

Who ever thought I would live in Providence, Rhode Island? I couldn't have even predicted that one. It all started in Hampton, Virginia when I started school at Johnson & Wales. I sped through my first year with no problem and decided I wanted to go to the home campus so I could have better academic opportunities. Well, I worked at Foxwoods all summer and fall and went to school as well. I was so cramped for time that I saw little of what the city or campus had to offer. One thing I loved was my long drives to work through the tree filled hills, especially on sunny fall days when the leaves were changing. I also was able to experience the club scene a small bit and enjoyed the energy of the city on those fun filled nights. Fortunately for me I was spared the terrible winter out here since I was living in Sacramento from December to March while I did my internship for school. Now I'm back and while spring was in the air out West, we are getting 2-4 inches of snow today and it's the middle of March.

Me as a frog in a holiday parade

Virginia

February 2000 in Montana, I packed a 91 Jeep with my pots & pans, a cat, a dog, a computer and a few pieces of clothing. I made my way across the country to Hampton Virginia. For a short while I lived in an apartment and then found a great little cottage on the Chesapeake Bay. I Worked for the cable company and attended my Freshman year of school at Johnson & Wales. I enjoyed the mild winter and beautiful fall weather. I also enjoyed visiting places like the MacArthur Museum and Colonial Williamsburg.
