Savannah Banana Excitement

The Savannah Bananas are playing sold out games against the Indianapolis Clowns this weekend at Kauffman Stadium. They made a stop at Scheel's to sign autographs and this girl was the lucky first one up. The line was endless so I went in search of the source of the excitement and discovered these players arriving.
 

Cooking, Greek Style

Hayden, Stacy and I took a Greek cooking class at KC Culinary Center. These are the base for our gyros before baking. We also made pita bread and spanakopita and hummus.

 

Pregnant Bridesmaid

I was 7 months pregnant with Stacy when Anita asked me to be a bridesmaid. I thought she was kidding because at that point I hadn't know anyone to have noticeably pregnant bridesmaids. Now I know several. It was 47 years ago this week. 1979
 

Splash Season Begins

Colin enjoyed the first time at a splash pad this summer. Alone for awhile, a crowd soon came.

Art Along the River

Artists were at work this weekend on the murals along the Missouri River. For three years they have been working to beautify the riverfront and they have. I missed the artists but enjoyed the results.

 

Down It Falls

Squirrels spent a lot of time creating this nest in the top of the oak tree but the winds decided it wasn't secure enough. Quite a mess. I guess no squirrels were hurt in the fall.
 

Can We At Least Make Them Match?

Neither street name is correct on the sign on the Missouri side of State Line. On the Kansas side of the street (below) they got them both correct. You'd think they might have noticed when they erected the Missouri side signs. Just a tiny detail but come on. The names College and Red Bridge at least are correct.

 

School Is Out

We greeted the bus when Vala (now a 1st grader) and Lowell (now a 3rd grader) got home on the last day of school. Then we celebrated with a dance party.

 

The Campaign Is On

Scott filed Wednesday to run for Secretary of State for United Kansas. Way to go Scott!
 

2000 Graduates

As was typical the photo shoot went a little off track. Below you can see the hidden graduate. 2000 Graduates – from East and K-State. Stacy's was in December.

 

Dance Party

When it rains on Gammy Day, we have a dance party.

 

Tend the Garden

Vote to tend to our garden that is democracy.

 

Technology Debris

In preparation for getting our house painted, Howard removed years of wires and boxes from phone and cable companies.
 

New Garden Art

Thanks to Cindy, I now have a new light in my garden. It's beautiful during the day and then adds sparkle when darkness comes.

 

Happy Creation

I had to travel a way to find this heart. "Happy Creation" was created by Happy Dorita as a reminder that the best things in life start from the heart. It is in front of the Eudora Community Museum.
