The Gallerita!

I am in Kansas and

I am in Kansas and it is truly beautiful here. I am so glad my brother, Pat, has found his Heaven on Earth...Some of the things we have done includes: going to Ft Leavenworth where I promised one of the Post's gate guards I would send him a slightly used Dallas Cowboy T-shirt. He noticed we were Texans and he mentioned he would love to have one. So, I obtained his mailing address and I am going to mail a t-shirt from my closet. Heaven knows I can use the space vacated by one less t-shirt...While we were on the fort we also drove by the National Cemetary there. It is quite impressive. My sister-in-law mentioned that there were German prisoners of war buried there and their deceased dates were all the same. We speculated how that might have happened and tried to find the graves, but were unable to locate them...Today, we visited the Amelia Earhart Museum in Atchison. She really was quite a pretty woman. She had a beautiful home overlooking the Missouri River...Pat has invested in a very impressive telescope. We have been outside this evening trying to view some of the night sky's sights. His telescope has GPS and a motor that keeps it in line with the earth's rotation. It is all very amazing...Since I have been here I have done 2 3.6mile run/walks. I am still trying to get in shape for the triathlon in which I will be participating next Saturday. On my first run; a deer crossed our path, we saw a black snake and a little red fox. It is so nice here,, that I feel that I would enjoy going every day for a run of some sort. It is after midnight. The Houston group is leaving early tomorrow morning, I am sleeping on the couch in the family room and I know that sleep will be cut very short because of their early departure. So, I am off to never-never land....
