Fun fun fun

Spending the afternoon at the WW1 War Memorial in KC, MO . A wonderfully done tribute! Of course it's been more enjoyable because the worlds BEST sister is along and writing this !!

Yes!

Tonight, Happiness is a Bunch of Kansas City Barbecue and beer with my little sister and Ron! Oh My.

Kansas

We are having a good day today!

Emporia airport

So, I'm trying to get a taxi to go to Jim's office to borrow a truck, with no success. An elderly gentleman comes in to talk w the man behind the desk, and was asked he wouldn't mind dropping me off at Jim's office since the taxi seemed to be a no go. Jim was out burning his pasture, Joyce at a wedding. He seemed eager to help out and I was grateful! He was out checking on his airplane...he still flies a Comanche around. He was an Army aviator in WW II, and instrumental in developing the Norden bomb site. He flew the P 51 in Europe and out of Africa. He is as sharp as me on a good day, doing very well in fact. He is 93, and I have a new hero!

 He knows Augusta well, good friends with Herschel, knows the whole bunch. I guess he ran the local jewelry store (of course here knew Augusta..) He said he knew Carl and Nellie Marx well since his dad was also a carpenter. Old home week, a small world.

Anyway, I think as long as one can fly one might live forever!

Now, off to Kansas City, see if AD still lives here!

See ya, love Dad/UR

Kansas

From the first, to the second! It's hot here. Will borrow Jim's truck, drive on into Olathe. Easier this time.
Another note to follow I need to share.

Kansas II

Hi Everyone, some updates:

I've talked to hospice a couple of times these past two-three days, and while there's no big changes, and Mom's vital signs are stable, she is no longer getting around enough to go out to the lobby for her meals, such as they are. She is eating very little and her weight loss is continuing albeit at a slow pace.

  Ken: I haven't heard anything from the local farmers. I guess I didn't expect to, but:

I'm heading back to Kansas in the morning via the ranch. I have my truck up there now, and I'll take the Bonanza. It looks like I have a window of opportunity between storms/winds, Hopefully. While I'm back, I'm going to make another site visit talk cattle, deer stands, etc.

  Diane: I will be at the mercy of the winds/weather if I get the plane back there. I'd like to leave my options open as they say. If the weather holds I'll go for Olathe (if they don't remember the last Debacle of 1984...). If I just get tired or winds are high I'll stop off in Emporia, rent a car there.

  Ash: I don't know if I'll be able to join up with you or not on your whirlwind tour. I may beat you there, may not, you know the drill.

  I plan to stay the week, then start homeward, drive or fly. Note to AD,  I'm NOT bringing home anymore chests, chairs, urns (concrete or otherwise), elves, pictures, figuringes, boxes, steel coyotes, etc.

 Well, here we go again, Love to all, UR/Dad
