Tea with Mrs Muller

Yes ladies and gentlemen the moment you have waited for has finally arrived.  I have started my job as the Second Lieutenant's wife at Fort Wilkins in Copper Harbor Michigan.  I spent a week intensely studying material with my co-workers.  I can't say I'm an expert on the Civil War or even Ft Wilkins at this point, but I'm learning.

Yesterday was my first day to entertain guests in my parlor.  The entire experience was amazing.  I get to wear an amazing costume (pictures coming soon) complete with parasol and purse accessories.  I then chat with guests, knit, promenade, and explain what certain artifacts were used for.  I can't believe they are paying me to do this.  Hell, I've been doing this sort of thing in my backyard since I was 5.  They really want me to work in some Shakespeare.  I dignified lady like myself would be familiar with it, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that just yet, perhaps with some time.

I have also been exploring the area quite a bit.  I've been to Hunter's Point and Horse Shoe Harbor.  I've been swimming in Lake Fanny Hoe, and bike ridding all over the Harbor.  Oh, and I can't forget Brockway Mountain that not only supplies me with a wonderful view, but also is the closest point to get cell phone reception.  Yes, that's right, no cell phones.

I've also become quite creative cooking meals in the microwave and on a hot plate.  My friends have become fans of my tacos, and when all else fails Lynn, my land lady, invites us to dinner.  I am having a blast here in the Harbor besides the fact that I am missing several Detrioters and New Yorkers.  Hopefully some of you will make it to the top of the world soon.
