A Little Jaunt

Last Saturday I took off on a little adventure to see all three kids. I even took an entire week off of work!

I started out at Joel’s in KC. It was a beautiful day for a hike so we did! We walked all along Hyde Park near his home, all the way to The Nelson Art Gallery, and ended at a coffee shop in Westport where we had a great chat.

I left Joel’s to head to my friend Ginger’s house in Roeland Park. Lexie got back ended on the way which pissed me off but she didn’t sustain any damage so after getting out in the middle of traffic on 39th street to check, I told the other driver, who had NOT gotten out of her car, all was well. She said “sorry”.

I toured Ginger’s house which we realized I had never seen and she’s loved there 20 years! Ginger and I drove to Leavenworth where we looked at some places I’d lived then went to our mini reunion. It was good to see people and a few others attended as well. We met in the coolest barn!

We drove back to Ginger’s where I spent the night and we chatted briefly in the morning.

I headed back to Joel’s and he and Kayla and I went Mildred’s, a cool breakfast place in Kcks.

I left KC to return home to pack.

Monday morning early, Wilson and I headed to Denver.

Kent was out of town so I hung out all week with Hannah and Junie. I loved every minute.

We went on three hikes, painted, shopped, did two cold plunges, some Forest Bathing, walks, ate and watched good tv.

I left Denver on Friday and drove what seemed like forever to Leah’s in North newton. Scott and Dave were there having gone to Wichita to taste coffee and they took Wilson home with them. We had dinner and I stayed the night. The kids and I played with blocks went on a snail hunt and I taught them a few kickboxing moves.
