Snow White was the caretaker for seven dwarfs - cooking, cleaning, baking, etc... - because it was the women's role in the home at that time. And who comes in and rescues her from the evil witch?

I found myself smiling while I sat there alone snapping pictures of the scenery all around. It was hard to imagine that this same lake will freeze this winter and people will be ice skating on it.

... the contract and left the proprietors office without a place to stay. My mentor Parri, was going through my options with me on what I could do. It came down to me staying with her in her apartment until I was able to find an okay place to live. But I might be living here for the rest of the semester.
