Men Are Gathered

Some of the party at the Alameda on Thanksgiving Night to await the Plaza lights. Dad having a grand time as always at that event. Enjoyed the years when we had a warm room to go back to after strolling among the lights.

Lush New Lawn

Leaves are off. Snow is off. Our newly seeded lawn is looking pretty great!

Mixing the Seasons

A little fall color to mix with the season's early snow.

Colorful Energy

The Filipino Association of Greater Kansas City presented Gintong Ala-Ala, a colorful concert commemorating the 50th anniversary of the association. One of Cindy's coworkers was a dancer.

Reflections of Hope

These poppies in the reflecting pool at the National WWI Museum and Memorial, were created by Ada Koch. It is named Reflections of Hope: Armistice 1918. Poppies, beautifully evoked by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae in his poem “In Flanders Fields” signify both a remembrance of those who have died and also a reawakening of hope and living. A nice addition to the night poppy display.

Frosting the Course

Minor Park had a wonderful frosty look after the snow. Photo credit to Howard.

Winter Begins

Peace and Remembrance
