One of the things I got out of storage in Dallas were all the blankets I could find. In my old furnished house, I had plenty of blankets, so I didn't bring any with me. But in the new place, the bed is provided but not the linens. And even in summer, I need extra covers. This throw is two pieces of fleece that have been knotted together at the fringe. Dr. Mari made it for me for Christmas one year. It matched the turquoise and brown in my old living room but the dusty rose patches in it match the chair in my new apt. perfectly. I love it when things come together like this. :-)
Mainiacs is a revered term, only given to those who are 5th generation (or more) born in Maine. If you were born in Maine but you are 1st - 4th generation, you're a Mainer. Everyone else is just "a person from away". I came to Maine for "just one semester," but now I'm "tenure track" which means I'm here to stay for a while. As I was in those first few months, I am very excited about this adventure and the chance to meet the great people of Maine.
