My Birthday continued ---Wrap it up already!

Well, that didn't go as planned. I started live-blogging my birthday on the 7th....now here it is 18 days later.....and I'm watching Cleveland vs. Cubs in the World Series. Go Cubs! Yeah, I ran into a few interruptions I admit......

...but it was a good birthday. A drive out to western Kansas is always the best present I could ask for, so I can be seeing this......

     By nightfall we were listening to the old highway songs....
..

     During my time out there, took a nice long walk around the town with my bro and daughter....

     Mmmm......wide open spaces.......

   A favorite vantage point.....lying flat on my back in the school yard like a hobo. On two separate occasions, a 12 year-old boy came running over to ask, "are you okay?"  Maybe his friends dared him.

 
The old shop building behind my mom's house is a great sun-catcher.

   But soon enough it was time to haul back to KC.....

 
Always seems like we lose the sun once we head back east......
