Sunday Bunch – Take 2

The second attempt to get a cousin photo during Sunday lunch. The effort is hilarious. See the first attempt here.

Just Stopping By

Lowell and Adam stopped by Howard's booth at the Overland Park Fall Festival to say hi.

Cloud Artistry

Sometimes nature is amazing!

Caring for the Earth

Colonial just completed the installation of solar panels on the roof of the chapel. Part of our mission to protect the earth and care for future generations.

The Joy of Mary Grace

You could always count on Mom to make life fun. It looks like she's singing to Cindy and I here but who knows? Today is her birthday.

Chalk Artist

Lowell was offering me chalk to participate with her in the floor art at the Family Tree Cafe.

Autumn Equinox Brings Caffeine

With the official start of fall yesterday, Cafe Equinox has returned to Family Tree Nursery. Buy your coffee and embrace the ambiance created by the beautiful plants.

Growing Lunch Bunch

The Sunday lunch bunch is becoming a lively event with these cousins.

Another Entry in SpraySeeMo

James Oleson of St. Petersburg, Florida is putting the finishing touches on his creation on the Mano's Wine building on Cherry.

Slumber Reunion

Part of the crew of slumber party attendees back in junior high. We could alternatively have called it a Hocker Grove Junior High reunion.

Working the Farm

Lowell and Adam playing with the "antique" Fisher Price farm from back in their parents' day. They have as much fun with it as Stacy and Hayden.

Party Girls

Some of my classmates at Shawnee Grade School having ourselves a rousing (?) party. We all met in 6th grade and began a long tradition of slumber parties and friendships.

The Bounty of Rain

My gardens have flourished in this strange wet summer we have had.

Puffins Are Here

Another entry in the mural festival on the Atomic Design building. Below is Seattle creator Ten Hundred (Peter Robinson).

Quilt Blessing to the Community

The Colonial Church Quiltmakers created more than 100 quilts over the past year which we blessed yesterday before they are delivered – to Children’s Mercy, Della Lamb Center, Growing Futures, Head Start KCKS, Hope Lodge, KC4 Refugees, KU Pediatrics, Operation Breakthrough, Project Eagle, Rotaplast International, Safe Home, Sheffield Place and Truman Med Center. Impressive!
