It was tiem to leave Santa Fe.. We’ve had a great time with Max . Becky and Violet,.
We took one of their cars to the Santa Fe airport and got there by 5:50 AM. It’s the tiniest airport I know.. After 2 short flights we were in Kansas. Diane’s brother Steve and my sister-in-law Denise met us at the brand new MCI airport  and whisked us back to Leavenworth where they live. We haven’t been here since our nephew Michael’s wedding in 2019 (?) .. Visiting here is always fun for many reasons.. One is the animals !

It was also very good seeing the humans. Part of our mission here in addition to catching up is to get some help from Steve on planning our trip to italy in September. Steve has written 11 (I think) well edited books on the geneaology of his and DIanes family. There are 2 whole books of data on the parts of italy we’re visiting.. It’s so great to ge his help

It’s also very cool to check in on Denises quilting.> She’s the most sophisticated quilter I know.. More on that in a day or so.

Nite all, nite sam
