We had a fun, peaceful and chilly day in Kansas .   The place is so flat. which makes for awesome sunrises adn sunsets. here’s sunrise

 

diane took me on a tour of some of the quilts denise has made.. each one is a work of art.. there  were 30 just on two beds upstairs.. no idea hwow many others are hidden in the house

mid day our nephew michael cam e over.. super good seeign him !

then we spent some time readying our 2014 honda CRV to transfer to Max and Becky .. it’s been a very good car.. I get sentimental about parting with things.. though super happy to be passing it along to max and becky.. its a great car for hauling stuff which will help becky in her business.

We ended the evening by feeding Michaels 20 year old turtle.. !

very nice beeing down here

TOday we listened to a couple of things.. mostly soem christmas story form the twisted mand wonderful mind ofDavid Sedaris.. that made the trip go easier..

By early afternoon we were at Steve and Denises .. it was cold and windy.. but we still went out to play with the dogs, gotas and ducks..
