Former Dixie Chick Robin Macy lives in Belle Plaine, Kansas, USA. I have seen her at the Belle Plaine Post Office, Belle Plaine City Office Building, and M&M Market.
Since Belle Plaine is a small town, I am most likely to run into anyone who lives here in the downtown area. Robin Macy is no exception. The city office, post office, and family owned grocery store are conveniently located with in the same block.
Encountering Robin Macy at the Belle Plaine, Kansas, Post Office
I first saw Robin Macy at the Belle Plaine Post Office1. She was leaving the post office as I was going in. I said hello to her. She said hello back with a smile. Robin Macy has a very soft voice and a catching smile. She had her hair pulled back. She was wearing overalls with a T-shirt and sneakers.
Encountering Robin Macy at the Belle Plaine City Building
I had seen Robin Macy from the Dixie Chicks at the Belle Plaine City Office Building 2 on another occasion. She was wearing her overalls with a T-shirt and denim shirt. She had a pair of work gloves with her and was wearing a straw hat.
With this sighting and meeting of Robin Macy, I was paying my water bill. She had returned the key for the burn pit for Belle Plaine because she and her helpers had cleared some limbs and other brush from the Bartlett Arboretum during one of their work days.
Encountering Robin Macy at the M&M Market in Belle Plaine, Kansas
I have seen Robin Macy several times at the M&M Market3. Since it is the only grocery store in town, it would be hard not to see Robin in here at least once.
On one occasion she was buying cleaning supplies for her home. This time she was buying laundry detergent, sponges, and a few other items. One other time, she was buying vegetables, a loaf of bread, milk, and other items.
As you can see, Robin Macy is your typical small town resident who uses the same stores and government buildings as I do.
What is Robin Macy doing in Belle Plaine, Kansas?
If you haven’t noticed, she is now a resident of this small south central town in Kansas. She has been welcomed with open arms like anyone else who has moved into town.
She is also the steward4, owner, of the Bartlett Arboretum in Belle Plaine, Kansas, USA. She bought the Bartlett Arboretum when it came up for sale in 1997. She is in the process of restoring the towns landmark to its original state.
She has also released an album called “Songs in the Garden.”5. Not only has she done these two things since living here, she also has the Bartlett Arboretum open for weddings, tours, and concerts.6
