Just a quick update

Since it's been a little while, just thought I'd put a few words on here. We just spent an awesome weekend with our sweet eldest daughter and her wonderful hubby- they flew out here Friday night and back home this afternoon. It was SOOOO good to see them and spend some great time together. It had been a little strange for Elaine to never have seen the place her parent's now call home - so now she has a point of reference when I tell her about sitting on my patio, feeling the Kansas breeze on my skin and listening to the sound of my fountain - and Keith figured out the grid system that makes Wichita so easy to get around really quickly!!! We had a pretty busy weekend - walked the nature center early Saturday morning, then on to Old Town to check on the farmer's market (pretty slim pickins - getting toward the end of their season), then on to Wichita's Chili cook off for lunch. We tasted lots of chili, and only had to dump one sample in the trash can! Then back home for a little rest and some dinner before heading on to the Wichita Symphony for a performance with Cherish the Ladies for a really fun evening. Elaine, Kim and I headed back to the nature center to take pictures this morning before church, and squeezed in a quick shopping excursion after lunch ( Mom likes the chance to spoil her kids - and they don't usually turn it down!). All to quickly the weekend was over and we were on our way to take them back to the airport to head home - but it sure was great to have them here!
