Welcome to Under the Maples. The old adage, “you can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl,” applies to me. I live in a concrete jungle today, but I grew up “under the maples.” While I enjoy many of the more cosmopolitan aspects of city living, I’m still most at home where there are more trees and grass than concrete and steel. In these pages I’ll be talking about anything that strikes my fancy, but expect to find an emphasis on history and genealogy.
About Me
- Country Girl in the City
- I'm just a small town kid trying to make sense of big city life. While I love many of the trappings of city life, I long for a more rustic existence...trees, open space, my own garden, fresh air. We have a great city park system, but somehow, it's just not the same.
