Along the way you meet George and Helen O Malley, who are growing old gracefully. Russell, their brave and empathetic golden retriever, wags hello and offers you a paw to shake.\u003cbr\u003e The Olsons and the Berges live just down the road. Bump Olson is the local septic tank pumper and birdwatcher extraordinaire, and Hans Berge, MD, PhD, was at one time the only Norwegian psychiatrist in Chicago or so he says. In a cottage out by the highway, you may spot Lloyd Barnes, ex Tennessee state trooper, hound fancier, and local man of mystery. Uncle Petter Sorenson, visiting from Grand Forks, takes the polar bear plunge at Jacksonport. Around the neighborhood you ll meet Deputy Doug, the flirtatious cellist Debbie Dombrowski, and Italian import Rosa Zamboni.\u003cbr\u003e Dave Crehore s sketches of life on the Door peninsula also expound on: \u003cbr\u003e the delights of codfish pizza\u003cbr\u003e how to insult Canadians\u003cbr\u003e what to expect at your fiftieth high school reunion\u003cbr\u003e how to lose a school board election\u003cbr\u003e the prevention of creeping old-fogyism\u003cbr\u003e Marilyn, a buxom eight-pound smallmouth bass\u003cbr\u003e and what goes on in the winter, when no one is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\"\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 11, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47334408323321,"sku":"9780299216344","price":28.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/kTgFaAwNI-9780299216344_dc21d79d-b253-4ae0-897f-06cd1dd06d7e.webp?v=1769648927","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/wild-colonial-girl-essays-on-edna-obrien-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
